Melbourne to Bright & Mount Hotham Alpine Road Trip (880 km) with 4 Mountain Bikes on BYD Sealion 6
-
Loaded a 4-bike vertical hitch rack onto the 750kg/1,300kg towbar of our BYD Sealion 6 Premium AWD and drove from Melbourne up to Bright and Mount Hotham (880 km return) for summer mountain biking!
On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details
- Climbing the 1,860m Mount Hotham Alpine Road with 4 enduro bikes on the rear hitch was effortless with 238 kW AWD torque.
- Coming down the 30 km descent from Hotham into Harrietville regenerated 29% battery SOC (from 48% up to 77% SOC) without touching the brake pads!

Gaining 29% battery SOC coming down Mount Hotham into Harrietville is incredible—free energy for the whole weekend of shuttles around Mystic Park!

@Ruby_A_Sealion6 Fitted the Hayman Reese Class 4 50mm square hitch receiver—tucks neatly under the rear diffuser when the tongue is removed.
