We’ve got a 4 bike Altea Strata DL which is also fantastically solid but I really like how small the sides of this one fold up when not in use as the Strata is massive so a real pain to store! Very thorough summary as usual, enjoy your cycling trips :)
That looks a good carrier. I’ve wondered about the weight of ebikes so it’s good to know you can get a carrier for them. Thanks Jules for the demonstration! It looks nice where you are.
What a pity Westfalia carriers can’t go beyond 60 mm tyre width ( ie 2,3’’) while most of electric bike begin with 2,6’’ tyre width. That’s to say no electric mountain bike allowed 😒 while Thule carriers can go up to 3’’
Looks like you might be getting in to trouble, we have just seen the new Isonzo today at the launch. It looks great and the interior is very cosy and welcoming. An initial vlog will hopefully be out tomorrow once we have edited it. 😊
Thanks Michel, I believe it is the same product but branded under Witter- Westfalia as the Bikelander and as the BC60 by Westfalia-Automotive. Its a very good carrier 😊 Karina
You would be best contacting Witter Westfalia direct as it does exclude some models and I wouldnt want to give you wrong information. I am sure they can help answer your question. Thanks for watching and it is a really good bike carrier. 😊
Hi guys looks a good sturdy bike carrier there well worth the money I think steve from the happy traveller's got one on is M.H he said they good stay safe my friend .kev
Purchased a similar product from Halfords, takes 3 bikes or fit an adaptor for 4th. I found that since it has to grab the tow ball firmly it takes a lot of muscle power to push the holding lever down. Can you fit and remove it yourself Karina or is this a Jules only job? My partner does not have the muscle power to fit or remove it. Just a thought for the less muscle bound.
Thats a good question... I will try it but I have a damaged lumbar disc hence I don’t do much lifting at the best of times. If I can do it then anyone would be able to do it! Try later today 👍
@@HereWeTow Thanks for reply. Did not realise how heavy and difficult to fit they were when i purchased mine. It is easier to hitch up caravan than it is to secure bike carrier to tow bar. Respect for reply.
