Hi eveyone,

 

I’m wondering whether anyone of you ever tried to max out the weight capacity of the original skoda roof rack with an ebike.

I’m actually planning to carry 2 of them (20 kg’s both w/o their batteries.

 

Thanks in advance! 😉

I have a Thule Cycle Carrier on roof bars to carry a light Electric Bike (14kg), no way would i have a 20kg bike on my carrier. 

One issue is i could not lift one up there and then get the first move done to secure to the frame or in my case the front wheel.   That would need 2 people.

 

This is not my Orbea on the rack, this is a Carbon Frame bike.

@mr44 It is a good idea to update your car profile as there will be different criteria.

Depends on the car really. Superb 2 Combi can take 100 kg on the roof. Your owner's manual will include maximum roof load in the specs list at the back.

Even a lowly 'max load of 50kg' for a roof would be OK for 2 X 20 kg bikes / bars and carriers.

That is less than 50kg going on the roof.

 

By really is the carrier OK with a 20kg bike on it up there?
