Hey guys looking for some advice.
I’m yet to receive my Rail 7 (super excited) but I will be looking to transport the bike by car, currently I have a roof mounted Thule system using 598 bike carriers.
I understand the preferred way of transporting ebikes is on a tow bar mounted carrier but I’ve just shelled out almost £5k for the bike so will have to wait a while before I can shell out another £1k to fit a tow bar and buy the rack.
1. I’m looking for advice on whether or not the bike will fit into the 598 that I already have.
2. I know the weight limit for the rack is 20kg, so would look to transport the bike with the battery removed, but with the battery being side mounted would it be safe to clamp the down tube with the battery removed?
any help you guys can provide will be greatly received.
thanks
James
