system is 80 kg with attached adapter and 60 kg without attached adapter.
The maximum load per bicycle on the
pull-out carrier is 30 kg. This allows
the attachment of electrically-
powered bicycles to the pull-out
carrier. The maximum load per
bicycle on the adapter is 20 kg.
The wheelbase of a bicycle must not
exceed 1.15 metres. Otherwise the
secure fastening of a bicycle is not
possible.
If not in use, the carrier system must
be slid back into the vehicle floor.
There must not be any objects on the bicycles that could become loose
