No idea..best ask witter as it's one of theirs
The 125 is 114 kg unladen
The bar took it very easily, no flexing, even with the leverage from the rack... and the bike rack was nice and firm with just a little flexing at the thinner telescopic ajustment section, if I really tugged and pushed on it.

Hello,
xpress wrote: hi there. I was wondering how you guys that have a rear moped rack get on with it and any tips or anything you found when installing it, how much it cost and general usage?
thanks.
I reply because you said moped rack..
Made up from scrap the carrier weighs 15 kg, and the moped 42kg.

Nearly a year gone and still not got round to getting one
if ever i've taken my 'ped i've bunged it in the back of the camper. Still it's not all bad i bought another Tomos last week
I'm getting quite fond of these little buggers. Getting a bit more up to date now -this one has indicators.
