I have a "system" from these people to carry the e-bikes in the motorhome, the garage of which is just not high enough to take a bike anyway without the front wheel off.

On the motorhome they bolt into factory mounted securing rails on either side, and provide a lightweight and secure method of transportation.
Taking the front wheel off is a bit of a faff, but in reality, given the ease of securing the bikes, it's really not much more so than most other carry systems.
They also provide systems for many cars, secured in different ways specific to a given car, but often to the ISO seat mounts on the back of folding seats. The clearance on the X1 is not enough to allow a bike in upright (even sans front wheel), which is a pity, as I really like the system and would have made a further investment.
I suspect your car wouldn't be tall enough either, Duncan, but it might be a useful bit of info for anyone drawn to read this by the title.
