I have seen discussions elsewhere that have jolly expensive looking contraptions to sling out E-Bikes on the back of our trucks

but something like that made in UK/Europe would do the trick to push the (Thule) cycle rack out past the spare wheel. Does anyone know of a UK stockist or have another simple option in mind. I will not be towing with this, purely for the Bikes. Stockist, picture and price would be very helpful

There are quite a few on eBay that seem cheap and UK based judging by delivery times but no idea of the quality.

Example

Personally I’d be going to a local fabricator and get something solid made that you can trust.

Thanks Baron - my sneaky suspicion would be that Changan 71 may not be based on these shores - maybe getting one fabbed up would be the trick. Any word on your motor coming back any time soon? Spares looking tricky to get. Might be easier with The Donalds tariffs?

Well in actual fact, once the parts needed were identified properly and ordered they arrived pretty quickly. Around a week. It’s identifying them that seems to be the problem. Crazy. Hoping in the next couple of weeks but there’ll be no breath being held. Nearly 3 months. 😕

Ha, yes you might be right about Changan71! But delivery in a couple of days?

As expected, Changan 71 (despite the British address and picture of UK flag) is indeed being shipped from China. One can only try.
