Cars with pull out cycle rack?

[ssray]

Not sure there are too many, think I've seen a Renault with some kind of rack that pulls out from the rear underneath

The Corsa and alantra had it

I think the Renault modus also had one as a option

Renault Modus had kind of plug in cycle rack, Vauxhall Corsa had the option of a built in pull out cycle rack, circa 2012 ish!

I wonder how many were ordered (and how many ever used)?

They are a good idea.

Meriva and Zafira Tourer also had it. I think it was 2 bikes as standard and an extension was available to add 2 more.

It struck me as a very clever idea.

I’ve seen the Vauxhall ones only a couple of times in car parks. Seems to have been on press cars but very few actually ordered it.

VW ID3 has the option of a bike rack towbar (it has no towing capacity) that lives behind the number plate.

I'd forgotten about those. Clever idea and if carrying a bike was a regular thing then probably quite handy in a small car.

I'd imagine that after a few years of water and road grime getting in they would have seized up.

No way is a bike fitting in there!

It's a rack not a bike storage area?

the mini F series you could spec prep for a special bike rack shame they no longer have it

I've got that rack on my F55 Cooper S.

It works ok for one bike, but two burly MTBs are too wide too fit on the rack.

A few years back my Wife was considering a Vauxhall Mokka so we went to see one at the local dealership, they have a very neat looking pull out bike rack option, number plate etc. comes out with it IIRC.

Thankfully, I talked her out of the Vauxhall but the bike rack is a nice touch if that's your thing.

Too wide too fit? A bit like Too much too young?
