stuartrose3 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Hi, I'm wondering whether someone has fitted a towbar to a lupo? I want to be able to move my motorcycle from my house to a shop and back and thought the best and cheapest solution might be to just get myself a towbar. The only thing I can see on the internet is towbars for bicycles. Has anyone fitted one to a lupo and know where best to get one. My motorbike probably weighs around 160kg plus whatever the trailer will be. I have a 1.7 sdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahs Lupo Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 of course you can! the SDI is perfect you can buy a kit off ebay around £150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szrdave Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 It's worth checking what the max. towing weight for the car is. I had a Honda Jazz previously which was rated at 450kgs, one bike on the trailer was fine but two would have been too much. I'd also recommend getting a decent electrical kit, I got a cheap universal one and the contacts in the plug would bend and the lights etc would stop working. I would imagine a diesel Lupo is a better tow car than a 1.3 petrol Jazz, mine still managed fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigcraft Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 I’ve fitted two over the years, both for a hefty box trailer and I also used to carry a ‘V’ shape push bike rack that opened out. All variants worked well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 There are quite a few for sale (new old stock), that people are trying to clear. Bargains to be had me thinks! I might get a Lupo tow bar and bung it in the shed. I have way too many spares now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigcraft Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 Just to hijack this thread..😜….. Totally agree @mk2 about bargains. Bought a pair of front std discs for £12 new delivered then saw same seller selling the next pair for £10 so those had to be bought too! Anything that I think is consumable and very cheap I try and buy these inc headlights!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
