manxli Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Oh dear! Trying to be the big strong man!!! Whilst lifting wife's eBike on to the frame, nearly squashed my finger and put my back out. Problem is, that the Fiamma bike carrier on the rear of my Flash 02 is too high, because of access hatch to underbed storage area. Don't feel like replacing whole frame with a lifter. Is there any sort of add on rope and pulley arrangement? Or does anyone have any tips? Wife is invalid and can't help. Regards Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candapack Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Get a towbar mounted bike carrier. It'll cost a bit, especially if you have to gat a towbar fitted as well, but better than damaging your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynneroy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I am sure I saw a motorised rack at the NEC Motorhome show, we have the same problem and bought folding bikes to go in the garage Lynne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxli Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hi Thanks for comments. Actually, I've still got a dismantled motorbike platform that was original mounted on chassis outriggers. I had in removed and the fiamma fitted. On reflection, it might be better to remove the Fiamma, remount it and try to strap the bikes on the motobike platform. Would block access to handy hatch though. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Fiamma markets a bike-rack intended to make loading easier http://www.fiamma.com/EN/products/carry-bike/motorhome/carry-bike_lift_77/ It’s not cheap though and I‘ve no idea how easy it would be to install on a Flash 02.

KeithR Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 had one like this for years. I find it excellent, and a little bonus is that when its raised its very difficult for anyone to steal the bikes. but yes, quite expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
