The bike rack of the Surfer Suite (VW T6.1 California) is mounted on the trunk door of the car. It can carry 4 regular bikes with a maximum total weight of 60kg or 2 E-Bikes weighing 60kg combined. The length of the bike rack when open, is 85 cm. Please keep this measurements always in mind when booking a ferry or a camping spot.
To operate the bike rack
- Open the bike rack by pulling down carefully from the top down:
- Move the fixtures of the rails left or right to mount the bike on.
- Release the belts on the fixtures for easier handling
- Start loading the bikes on the furthest rail from you. The heaviest bicycle should be closest to the car
- Attach the shortest arm to the top of the bike and pass the belts through the tyres to secure the bike. Adjust the position of the belt fixtures if necessary.
- Lock the bike using the key provided (same key for all the locks), using the keyhole on each arm of the bike rack
- Repeat this process if you need to transport more bicycles
Please note the following:
- Never load the bike rack more than 60kg of total weight
- Don´t open the trunk door when the bikes are mounted. This could damage the roof!
- Pay attention when loading and unloading the bikes not to scratch the surface of the vehicle or the glass of the trunk
