Hello everyone! Do you know of a 2 bike rack that will fit on my 2011 500c? I don't really want to fit a tow bar. Thanks for helping...

Think this has been asked before, "think" the answer was no, tow bar type as the boot lid is not strong/secure thought to take the weight

The only boot-lid ones I've seen are generic types and I don't think they'd cater for a boot as small as that of the 500C. In any case, as John says, it's probably not strong enough.

A rack that fits on a pair of roof-bars is likely the best solution.

I’m fairly sure there is no roof rack specific to the fiat 500c, that said this picture popped up when I googled it, from this forum.



I wonder if the normal 500 roof rack fits ?

The La Prealpina set for the 500 (LP49?) fit perfectly well, the only caveat being that the roof must remain closed.

While the 500 roof racks probably fit the 500c, the c has no specified roof load (at least in Germany...I hear different messages from Austria). So this might be borderline illegal.
Same with tow bar -the 500c has no defined tow load in the papers. That might still allow the tow bar for a bike rack where it does not pull anything...
A towbar with a removable hook is probably the most stable, unobtrusive and practical solution.

found this. . . . .

Hi folks, I am now facing this same challenge (bikes + 500c) has any one had any success recently with this?

Has anyone managed to get a bike in through the boot with seats down? I can easily remove my front and back wheels [of bike, not car - ha!)... it might be the cheapest route?

I tried a folding bike but even that wouldn't fit through the boot! I could drop it in through the open roof but it was hard to get out again. Solved it in the end though - I got rid of the bike...!

hahahah the ultimate test... car or bike, car or bike....?

A Brompton does fit…
