[MasterMates]

Good morning

After reading the many posts on here im leaning towards the Genio Pro. It’s for two e-bikes one at 25kg the other 24kg, id be grateful for any opinions and feedback good and bad.

Thank you

I'm currently considering the various bike carrier options and like both the Atera and Thule. However, one thing that I can't seem to work out is, with the 2 bike carrier will the handlebars of the first bike hit the rear screen of the van?
It looks like you have to buy a 3 bike carrier and not use the first space.
I've also been looking at the Peruzzo Pure Instinct.
The one thing that swings it a little towards the Atera is the way it fastens to the bike frame. I prefer the padded strap system to the vice type pressure clamp of the Thule asmy wife's ebike is carbon.

I've found that frustrating as well, they all seem to quote the distance between the bikes and the width but not much else, it would be useful to have diagram with more dims.

Found this, it gives the distance from the tow bar to the first carrier tray, once I get the tow bar fitted it I can work how much space there will be. The bars are 750mm wide, I think it will be tight!

Surely 30 seconds with an Allen key, twist the handlebars so they are parallel to the the frame and problem solved?

Appreciate it’s another step but keeps the bikes tight and saves any risk of the first one bouncing into the tailgate.
