Usually put my Giant Defy on the Cali but if its for holidays I use my 2009 bog standard Trek 1.2 with flat pedals, the hard part is lifting the wifes Raleigh E Bike onto the rack as its huge and weighs a ton!
I have sussed that the tailgate stays open when loaded with the bikes if I remove 1 chair!!!!

Had an Uber fun ride last night on my Kalkhoff Durban Compact E.
No Strava and a chance to enjoy the local roads around my house.
Incredible sunset...

And this is my old rig which I pulled out of the garage today to consider selling it. 180mm travel back and front. It’s heavy compared to my new carbon bike, but is solid and has taken me down the Fort William World Cup downhill track and many others.

Sentimental value may be greater than market value, although the cycle market is currently booming.

Still looks great fun like the "freeriders" aka todays "Enduro" Bikes or like the bikes they used to ride in the "Anthill" movies

Nice. I tried the other Haibikes but disnt like how the engine engaged, ie inpossible to do wheelies. Got a Turbo Levi instead. Would be nice to try the flyon though.
Interesting. I didn’t like the power delivery on the Yamaha motor units but the Flyon is better. There is still a slight lag to cadence.
What they do need is a quick shifter ie a momentary cut in power when up shifting. Under load up shifts are a bit harsh so I’ve taking to easing slightly when changing.
 
I rode mine for the first time up in Woburn Sands woods during my lunchtime. I couldn’t stop laughing. Already eyeing the Sduro/Enduro 10 :kiss

Trevor Jarvis - resurrected the Baines Brothers (of Bradford) VS33 'flying gate' from the 1930s - makes it stiff and light - climbs really well.
