Carries 2 sets of golf glubs. On the smart car, it comes with a smart car adaptor that can then install a bike carrier to it. Leave it on all year and gives some protection to the rear of the car.<br /> <br /> Have a look at <a href="http://www.hitchcaddy.com" target="_blank">www.hitchcaddy.com</a><br /> <br /> Thanks<br /> <br /> Wayne Tebbe Hello all,<br /> <br /> If you are looking at using a bike rack for your smart car, I manufacture the HitchCaddy.

Looks like I have it done in very strong way. I like the result.<br /> If you planning to make a rack just for a bike, I think there is no need for such modification. If bolts from smartieparts.com are not avalable, I'd take caliper, mesure the size of the hole , buy cheap chinees vise with that size shaft , cut it and weld the heads to it.<br /> <br /> Leon I still have an injury so I h… tag:www.451s.com,2009-08-06:1912846:Comment:65131 2009-08-06T02:00:23.409Z sara Ohara http://www.451s.com/profile/saraOhara I still have an injury so I haven't purchased a rack or new bike yet.
