Hi Mike,
Excuse my ignorance, but what does "offset" mean in this instance? The photo seems to show a common Thule type rack on the back of a MH.
I am interested in this thread because I am looking for a cover for two heavy e-bikes but think the Fiamma one is a bit lightweight for long-term use. Someone we met on our last trip to Spain recommended a Hindermann, which was good quality and strong but did not have a pocket for the warning sign. We will also be looking at the Thule one but want to feel the quality. Has anyone else on here got a Thule cover?

I have assumed offset means the two wheel rails are not in line, one is positioned slightly to the left and the other to the right of the midline. It is to allow the bikes to be closer together because the handlebars are offset. It doesn't appear that way in the photo but the rails on my carrier are offset. I was hoping the post would confirm my interpretation.

Try Taylormade Silver Screens, they make bike covers. I did discuss having bigger cover for electric bikes , they said they would investigate when life was quieter.
we purchased one of their bike covers and put in some extra gussets made from material they supplied. Sent back the details of what we did and measurements etc. So I do not if they now manufacture our larger ebike cover as standard
