T6.1 barn door bike rack

Worth noting that the t5 on barn doors are all the same I believe so that'll make it easier to find one. Choices are very limited.

Not on a T6, but I had a Fiamma 4 bike rack on a T4 tailgate and it pulled the hinges away from the van hatch frame. Never broke but the panel gap at the top definitely ended up pretty wide easily allowing fingers in. Though it was loaded with 4x full suss xc MTBs at times. Personally I wouldn't use a hanging bike rack for anything more than a couple of bikes at a time and certainly nothing with a motor.

Got a tailgate T5 now and towbar rack all the way.

I've reassessed it since posting, I'm going to go for a tow bar rack instead, seems far more sensible

Resurrecting this old thread I started.....

Just out of interest, does anyone use the fiamma 2 bike barn door rack? (On a transporter)

It states "e-bikes : no" but "max weight : 35kg"

I reckon my levo sl plus my kids bike should be less than 30kg, deffo less than 35kg. But I imagine it wouldn't be long before it buggered the hinges on the door 🤔

I've got a tow bar rack which is decent and does the job, but the bikes don't half take a pounding from the elements on a wet winters day. I don't suppose the barn door rack would make that much difference, but a little higher away from the road must help a bit! Just thinking out loud really....

Funny. I have a towbar rack on my Trafic but have been considering a barn-door type instead, mostly to remove the bikes from the worst of the road shit but also because it would allow opening of the doors with the bikes in place. My concern is less about weight (no e-bike and the bikes I have aren't heavy), more to do with bar width and how close the two bike "tracks" are to each other.
