    Thinking specifically of a Spesh Turbo Levo FSR…

    Is it any heavier than a 40lbs+ downhill bike?

    Some you have to load yourself. Can you lift it? Whatever it is they’ll make it work anyway.

    Yeah, I’ve seen them get those 4 wheel buggies the paralysed guys use on. I’d guess anything other than a proper fat bike will fit in the wheel holders and weight shouldn’t be a problem.

    In fact there was a bunch of Welsh lads I met in 2015 in Morzine and one of them had an ebike on the lifts with no problems

    Was that the boys from Taff’s Well?

    FWIW we met a couple of people who weren’t allowed to take their fatbikes up on lifts that had carriers too narrow for the wheels. For example ( I think) the yellow carriers on the Chavannes lift. Having said that though, I too have seen the buggies coming down into Les Gets.

    The turbo Levo comes with 3.0″ tyres..not proper fat. Should be ok I’d of thought. I can imagine the DH bikez running 2.7 ish..

    Take an easy/fast to use strap or bungie type thing with you.
