Which tow bar bike rack?

Before purchasing a cycle carrier, it is important to know which suits you best. So, there are a number of points that you can pay attention to. First of all, you will have to consider how many bicycles you want to place on the carrier. Most tow bar bike racks are suitable for 1 or 2 bikes. Do you want to go out with the whole family? Then a bike carrier for several bikes is suitable. At Winparts you will find a few tow bar bike racks suitable for 3 or 4 bikes.

Another important point to look out for is the electrical connection. Both a bike carrier and a car have a 7-pin or 13-pin plug connection. This electrical connection is necessary, so the lightning on the bike rack works properly. However, it is possible that the connection between your car and cycle rack differs. So, it is important to pay attention to this. It does, however, not necessarily have to be a problem if the connections differ. You can easily convert this with an adapter plug.

You can also look at the tilt function and folding function. Most towbar bike racks have a tilt function. With this function, you can tilt the carrier forward when mounted on the towbar. This way, you can still access the boot of your car. The folding function means that you can easily fold the cycle rack together after use. This leaves a relatively small package that you can easily store. Furthermore, you can take a look at the maximum carrying weight. The carrying weight is the maximum weight that the towbar bike rack can lift. This is often between 30 and 60 kilos (66 to 130 lbs). How much the rack can lift, depends on the brand and type of carrier. There are special towbar bike racks that are suitable for heavier electric bikes.

Towbar bike rack for e-bikes

More and more people have an electric bike, also called e-bike. Please be aware that not every towbar bike rack is suitable for e-bikes. If the carrying weight of the bike rack is less than the weight of the bikes, this can lead to problems. It is therefore important that the towbar bike rack can transport e-bikes. An average e-bike quickly weighs 25 kilos (55 lbs), thanks to the battery. There are special towbar bike carriers for electric bikes, where the carrying weight is 50 kilos (110 lbs) or more. You can easily carry two e-bikes on these bike racks.
