latest add on was a bicycle carrier that allows entrance with out unmounting the bikes and getting heavy stuff out of the way. I know there are trailer hitch mounted systems available in the US, but nothing similar here what is legal and TÜV (our mandantory safety inspections) approved - so i did some designing and spend the rare free time in the shop, here is the result:
missing on the pic is the 2nd lic plate and the light bar (again - mandantory stuff over here)
