How do you carry your bike?

[notAnExpert]

If you carry a bike, how do you do it on your Model 3?

My 55cm road bike fits in the back with the seats down and the front wheel off.

I'm using the Tesla roof rack with a Thule UpRide carrier to carry my mountain bike.
Working well so far.

Really kills the miles

My first electric vehicle hanging off the back of my most recent one, there are at LEAST 4 others I still use.

Hi! I just bought the Thule Upride 599 to my Tesla S 2020 with Tesla roof rack. Question: did you use the “t-screw/bolt” included from Thule and the press it through the rubber from one side, on the roof rack?

No. I actually use the clamps because I take the carrier off of the car whenever I’m nor using it.

it doesn’t go through the rubber...the rubber is pushed down and the bolt is slid on top of the rubber...sandwiched between the rubber and frame of the rail.

I was curious which rack that is and how much the electric bike weighs that you have mounted. I assume it holds 2 of them.

We are a professional electric bike shop in Santa Barbara, Ca. this is the set up we recommend...
The Invisible eTrailer.com hitch with a Kuat NV Base 2.0 rack.
eBikes in picture are Made in France Moustache brand with Bosch Motor systems.

Just me and my bike, I put in the back. Road bike or 29"r MTB both fit with ease.

Going with my 2 kids? SeaSucker Bomber rack on the roof with the 3 bikes. (This is what I voted for).

 

[KingTito]

Yakima High Speed on Tesla bars for around town. Longer distances I’ll put my bike inside. All my bikes fit inside (29er, Fat, Road).

I use an ecotech hitch with a OneUp rack on the back. Works perfect. I did the install myself which was pretty easy if you take your time.

I have also hauled the bike in the back with the seat down and a towel over the back of the seat. Take off the front wheel and slide it in rear wheel first with the derailleur up. Road or mountain bike will fit back there.

I've been vacillating for a year or so between one of the invisible hitches and the Tesla roof rack. Pros and cons both ways. So until I finally choose one or the other, we switch things up and tow the Tesla behind our bikes.

I doubt these are available in the UK but the 1up system looks great. Does it fit to the rear subframe or do you have the tow option on your car and it slots in there?
Now it's summer I may try my road bike inside my car (Im lucky I can cycle off/on road from my house) but the CX bike is going nowhere near the inside (still too new)

I think its a Saris Freedom 2 Bike, but I got it used, so it's an older model. The Bike is a Zappy, it's a beach cruiser style that uses special tires, and a lead-acid battery pack. It's pretty heavy but I am a pretty big guy so I don't know, 25, maybe 50 lbs?

Another vote for the Torklift Ecohitch with 1upUSA rack.
I just put pictures here.
