    Home charger or not?

    As you don't have a simple comparison of, h"ave one not have one" but a range of charging costs and options. Perhaps a few additional considerations in favour of a home charger are . 1 convenience its always available, will never be blocked by an ICE car. 2 its cheaper than most other options...

    There will be a limit and it may be worth asking MG if they are prepared to publish one. There is only ever one pair of legs on the glass so the weight will be distributed depending on the positioning of the carrier

    I think the higher the better it keeps as much road crap away from the bike (why i like the upright inside option) is a fair-weather bike. The straps could go a lot ..lot lower and under the spoiler . as for the rear window these carriers are designed for contact with glass and this one has...
