But I appreciate that you need the cover for other reasons anyway. | |
| Sep 6, 2018 at 15:09 | comment | added | Monica Apologists Get Out | Yeah I had to buy the T2 explicitly because nothing else can safely, non-negligently carry two fifty pound bikes.Hiding them in the car is a good compromise, but honestly the time to take the battery off the specialized is probably going to be the main deterrent from me actually doing it. | |
| Sep 6, 2018 at 15:07 | comment | added | Chris H | I've added a note about the batteries to the answer, but I was thinking of hiding them in the car. I'd do that anyway to reduce the weight on my rack, but yours is probably stronger | |

| Sep 6, 2018 at 15:06 | comment | added | Monica Apologists Get Out | I can but that's a fun #10 to lug around in our backpacks. One comes off via a key very easily (Haibike) the other you need to whip out an allen wrench and unscrew a through bolt. (Specialized) | |
| Sep 6, 2018 at 15:03 | comment | added | Chris H | Hence the weight. I thought the rack must be really heavy if it plus 2 nice bikes was 200lbs. Can you take the batteries off? | |
