Hi All.
After a long time keeping an eye out for stock of a suitable towbar for our 71 plate ZS EV mk1, we've finally bitten the bullet on a Witter removable towbar, sourced from Ebay, with a vehicle specific wiring kit and installed by a local mobile fitter who also fits towbars for Witter.
He's done a very neat job and I've attached a few photos showing how it looks. We'll only be using it for a Thule cycle carrier that we've had sitting in the garage gathering dust for a few years since we last had a car with a towbar.
I thought I'd post something up as I've found it tricky finding any sellers with stock until now, or much information in general about fitting a towbar to the 1st gen ZS EV. Just to be clear, and the fitter confirmed this as well, this car is not type approved for towing, only vertical loading for a cycle carrier.
Anyway we're now looking forward to getting out more and going further afield on our E-bikes again in this lovely weather..!
