Voortkeutelende baby boomers with a caravan and without a spatial understanding made for a whole ordeal in the zomerverkeer, but there is now an additional hurdle in the form of loeizware e-bikes to their bicycle rack gekrakt.

Look, actually are the only acceptable bikes to go on a holiday to take stervensdure Pinarello’s or S-Works. Weighs only a few grams and who the Tourmalet opbeukt continues to be a lot fitter than those for the caravan BVN koekeloert and together with the kortpittig-coiffed wife in driekwartlegging beer/cheap rosé is to be lifted. But the reality is that not everyone is as young and divine formed as I am, and so the e-bikes en masse to the French camping.

However, the problem with these things is that they weigh more than an armored S-Class and that their owners are usually too stingy to use their bike rack to upgrade. Logical result: all Chinese band-aid bike rack of pisbakkenstaal collapse under the weight of the e-bikes and you can to the 100 metres of path switching to these barricades to dodge.

The TOYOTA acknowledge this e-biketerreur now, and warns owners especially the load capacity of the bike rack on the back of the Scenic/Qashqai/X6 to check out before a half a hernia lifting it during the charging of the e-bike. They can then only their fellow road users annoy with their inhaalgedrag, instead of the highway to turn it into an e-bike graveyard.

Or this warning happens, you may experience personally, if you today or tomorrow to the public hot-air furnace enters that Southern Europe is called.
