I have always been a huge biker and I figured that of course there would be some cool bike racks for this car but I never thought they would be mounted this way. Either way I love it and hope they have these for the US spec Smart fortwo.

I was just looking at the bike rack on the Smart Canada website.

My opinion . . . Hate it.

I've seen roof racks on Minis, is there a roof rack for the Smart?

I would love to use my Thule long tray on top. Or, can you fit the bike in the back with the front wheel off, or do you have to take both wheels off?

Looking around I have not seen any top mounted racks on the smart and I don't think there is any way to mount a secure one as the roof-line is very sleek with no rails or mount points. I will do some searching and see what I find though!

I don't know from experience but it appears that the bike rack must be removed in order to get to the trunk, that is unless of course you want to simply fold the front seat forward and grab what items you need.

Tie Down?

Are there any type of tie downs or hooks inside of the "trunk?" I have a dog seatbelt that needs a hook.....
