Twins - that is a beauty!

I see the twins are Energi's. Have you put your bike inside? Bikes and cross country skis looked like a headache in the energi. I am hoping for a redesign in the hatch by the time I need a new buggy.

 

Of course, your bicycle does not understand a red vehicle - definitely not a match. Just having fun, my Escape was blue and Spirit is a magenta, white and black Colnago. Spirit is not a youngster but the ride is sweet.

 

After Phantom's next bath, I am going to take a picture of Phantom and Spirit for my profile picture

 

Not sure how many posts before I lose my New Member tag.

 

I am also trying to figure out how to link to Fuelly.

I just bought my new 2014 c-max and I love it.

After reading these forums and surfing options on the Internet I just ordered a 1.25 Curt trailer hitch and a Softride Alumina Parallelogram 3 Bike Rack. I need to find somewhere to get the hitch installed.

The rack swings back and down (not to the side) when loaded to allow access to the hatch. I made my final selection by calling trailer.com who has excellent support selecting a system. Hope mine works well! I will report back.

Supposedly I will still be able to use the foot-activated switch with the hitch installed. But even if the sensor is blocked, I needed the power lift gate, not the foot thing.

Cheers,

Mama Hen

Wow! I am so happy with my EcoHitch and 1UpUSA rack on my C-max. I can put it on my car without assistance. I have been using it as a single so it doesn't block my view and can use my kick open on the hatch.

It is easy to mount a bike and very stable! I feel confident putting my Colnago or Seven on the rack!

I tested adding the second bike attachment today. It took less than a minute to turn my single into a double!

The picture is a few months old- so no snow around.post-2528-0-71716300-1431993401_thumb.jpg
