    Bike carrier for a (class 1) 1.25" hitch

    Opted for a Saris Freedom 2 with a pair of fatbike adapters. Works great -- some sites still show bike limit at 35lbs per, but it's in fact 60lbs per bike and my mini doesn't seem to give it any problems. I went for the no-clamping version, but note that there's only one option to strap the...

    Any RadMini people out there

    New mini owner -- fantastic bike. Added a few things (some with the help of Adamm Jarvis' excellent review of his Rover updates on youtube) -- mirror, pump, frame bag, rack bag, usb lights, phone holder, sprung seatpost. That's enough for now. Most proud though of my addition of 3/4" water pipe...

    Upgraded battery charger?

    Well I did read that a big part of the prius battery longevity is the management, keeping charge and discharge levels between set limits, watching temperature, adjusting speed of charge etc. so I see your point.

    Upgraded battery charger?

    Thanks for the input. It sounds like factoring in the potential drop in battery prices over 2-3 years and the fact that smart chargers for these types of batteries are pretty expensive...its probably a wash.

    Upgraded battery charger?

    Anyone think it worth upgrading to a smart(er) charger that can charge slower/within set limits? Worth it for battery longevity? Perhaps the included charger is smart enough..

    Bike carrier for a (class 1) 1.25" hitch

    OK confirmed with them that htese racks *are* supported for ebikes -- there's some issue around 'class 1' and ebikes, but these are fine. BTW Kuat NV2 can current;y be had for 430.

    Bike carrier for a (class 1) 1.25" hitch

    I'll take a look - youd think it would work -- I have a two bike rack that can carry 70lb total, but states very clearly only 35lb per bike. I'll also get Sam's opinion and why as a massive seller of trailers and hitches he was so certain he couldn't provide one. A rack would be more convenient...

    Bike carrier for a (class 1) 1.25" hitch

    I asked etrailer and the response was that there is no carrier for 60lb bikes that safely works with a 1.25" hitch. I asked specifically about the saris freedom, but according to Sam at etrailer it's a no-go. Good job the bike fits easily into the back of the car when folded!
