I'm shopping for two electric bikes to hang on the Fiamma rack on my '91 Westy. At age 50, the hills appear steeper all the time(!). Electric bikes are *heavy*, about 53 pounds each (not including the battery carried separately). My question is....does anyone know the rated capacity of a Fiamma rack? If I carry a couple of them on the rack, will I leave the Fiamma, the bikes (and bits of the vanagon) on the road behind me?? TIA Steve Hengeveld Seattle, WA '91 Westy sheng@seanet.com |
