I don't think it's going to happen, but worth a shot.

I'm looking for a rear bike rack that will take my sons trike. It's this one here Along with 3 other bikes!

We have a peugeout 5008, no tow bar or roof rack so it will have to be rear mounted. The trike can go in the boot for most journeys but if we want to go away on over night trips, which we do, we will need boot space for the bike trailer (we also have a toddler), wheelchair (for when he is too tired for triking or walking happens suddenly so leaving it is not an option) and all the other random stuff you need with 3 children.

    Thats going to be way too big for a rack. It will be outside the limits allowed.
    Bikes rear axle is 22" ?

    Small camping trailer is needed really. Unless you can fit all your stuff in a roofbox and leave the boot for the bike.

    The rear axle, is that the long bit or the bit between the back wheels?

    I'll find a way to fit it in the boot and just get a 3 bike carrier in that case.

    Thank you.
