Genio Pro is excellent. It is heavy (aren't they all?) but I can haul it in its bag on my own. I wanted a fold-up one so I can store it in my flat. I bought the 3rd bike rack and it is very easy to fit. I don't have a phot of it folded own unfortunately, but it works well (once you've fitted the extender (2 minute job) and the tailgate clears the rack with 3 bikes on it. I can lift all 3 bikes and clunk the rack back into place on my own quite easily, which I was surprised about.Can anyone offer advice on Atera Strabo and Genio Pro Bike racks or alternatives thanks in advance

Wow - that's worrying. Very glad it didn't happen to you at any other time.
I'd be interested to hear if others check their screws and also find them loose?
Actually, not all racks are equally heavy. The Uebler i21 that I use is only 13 kg. Foldable, small and very easy to handle. Only takes two bikes though (30 kg each). Uebler doesn't seem to be traded in the UK, but I might be wrong there.Genio Pro is excellent. It is heavy (aren't they all?) but I can haul it in its bag on my own.

I’ve had trouble too. That foot pedal is always at the bottom for me. I think I feed it in first with the number plate, then it fits perfectly…Hi @66tim99
Do you find the carry bag for your Genio Pro is a bit tight? I’ve tried all orientations but it’s really tight. The zip only just goes around the release pedal but is then under some strain. Am I being dumb here?

Ah thanks. Done that and it’s fine. Thought i’d tried every way but obviously not. I must be losing the plotI’ve had trouble too. That foot pedal is always at the bottom for me. I think I feed it in first with the number plate, then it fits perfectly…
