I think the vendor is more the issue... They're arguably the least popular vendor on the site due to customer service issues.

My suggestion would be to talk to nprsmart. He has a bike rack on the back of his smart and seems very happy with it.

If you dont mind a little work the oe bike rack is a good unit and made well. there are trailer hitches out now that will fit the smart and take a bike rack so thats an affordable and versatile alternative as well.

Hey Gents,

It's the other half of Smart Madness (rachel). I have to tell you about the bike rack that we sell... Biased? Maybe, but it is the BEST on the market for your smart because it takes advantage of your pre-existing tow hook sockets in the back of your smart. You don't have to dismantle your rear panels and don't have to worry about putting weight on the top of your smart. These were the 2 biggest concerns we wanted to avoid when it came to this rack. SCP realized that if there was a rack that could take advantage of the sockets in the rear skirt, then it would be a no brainer regarding safety and weight.

Our rack takes about 3 minutes to install. No climbing, cutting or removing and best out of the box experience to date on the market. Open the box, take the tow rods, swivel them in sockets with rack and voilah. Rack is powder coated and is completely storage easy by taking up less than 3' by 8" of space. I am a mtn biker, not technical, fire roads and downhills and absolutely love this rack; it holds 2 bikes too. I can lock my bikes to it for reassurance and with the winter here, I simply put my ski/board extensions on it. Also, I order drinks on the turn so when the weather is a bit better? We're coming out with golf bag extensions to use with the same rack. So there you have it. It's one rack that serves 3 purposes in one: bike, snow and green.

What else could you ask for? And yes, I have them in stock. Call me at the shop and I'll get one out to you the same day, as long as it isn't after 545pm that's too late for me to take it to the UPS store. 562-961-6800, Smart Madness and I am Rachel- the other half. Ride on with your smart...
