Getting 2 bikes onto bike rack
We have a Fiamma bike rack on the back of our motorhome and are trying to get a mountain bike and an electric bike onto the 3 bike rack. We don't seem to be able to do this without incurring lots of scratches on one or both of the bikes. Also the bikes don't
seem to be very upright and we have great difficulty in trying to get them onto the rack. Does anyone have any good tips please?

Not tried with an electric bike but two mountain bikes. We have them facing in opposite directions and handlebars twisted on themselves. Handle grip has slightly marked the back of the ' van so cover it with foam now. We have two bike Fiamma rack, it is
highish because of where fixing points are. They are reasonably if not completely upright and are fastened on with several straps to ensure they don't fall off. Hope this helps a little.0 -
the trick you getting the bike upright is to have the lower racks level with the upper clamps, some of which are long....and cause a tilt...
to get a pair of bikes fitting snuggly, they need to be Siamesed, handlebars at opposite ends. some even turn the handle bars through 90 deg prior to loading but i dont actually think its really necessary unless ypu feel either the inside bike is too close
to the van, or the putside one is overhanging too much...0
