The spacing of the bars is about 48" (122cm) so as long as your rack can accommodate that span it should work. From some previous research I didn't think Thule had any product that could go that wide though.

There's a few people using these bars in Europe (CH, UK, SE, NL, RO) but I guess it depends on your comfort level due to the regulations there and local policing. I would just say that if that's a concern but you still want to use these bars, get a license plate mount and lights so you don't attract the wrong kind of attention. The TUV, ISO, and other standards bodies are mainly testing the security of the bikes to make sure they won't fall off in a crash.
Thanks for the reply ! Did you ever thought in creating the bars bended in "S" shape like the original ones to lower the lenght?
Would this complexify the production very much?
Thanks,
Marsu

I would be interested in the bars to be shipped to Germany, if they are still available?

Kind regards!

The last batch has sold out. If there is more interest, I can do another production run. Most likely in the spring when more people are thinking about carrying bikes.

@bsclywilly Would you consider doing a variant that accommodates three bikes? I know it's possible to squeeze in a third 1up rack with a kid's bike (and I have a third 1up for this purpose) but as my kid graduates to a larger size bike it will become impossible to fit the three...

I could make some extensions that attach to the end of our bars.

Anyone else interested?

Hey folks. I have one of Will's racks that he made for us maybe 18 months back. It's got the 2x 1Up bike carriers, all the hardware to install to the Taycan CT, plus the electrical dongle to deactivate the auto reverse braking. I am embarrassed to say that I have used it exactly zero times. It has been sitting safely in my garage.

I live in the South Bay in Los Altos. If someone wants to pick it up from my place I'd be willing to part with the whole setup at significant discount. Please DM me.

***UPDATE: SOLD*** thanks, folks!
