I need a bike rack for the back of my Wife's car that is suitable for a hatchback (no tow bar) and can handle an e-MTB, I'll on take the battery out to get the weight down but the bike is still heavier than a normal MTB even without battery. I don't mind spending about £150 but not too keen on spending £350 odd.

So does anyone have any recommendations from say Amazon, Halfords, Argos or whatever? Something brand named probably
rather than a generic Chinese Amazon item that will fall apart.

I used to use a Thule Clip on bike rack on my 1 series BMW.
Carried my Gen 2 Levo no problem

Just realized that this bike rack isn't suitable for cars with spoilers, both mine and my Wife's cars have stock small roof spoilers. Anyone managed to mod a bike rack to suit spoilers or come up with a workaround?
