Towbar Mounted Bike Racks

Towbar bike racks are the best choice for heavier bikes, E-bikes and regular use. They sit low behind the vehicle, making bikes easier to load, and many models fold or tilt for boot access.

Roof Mounted Bike Racks

Roof mounted bike racks are a tidy option if you already have roof racks fitted, or if you want to keep access to your boot or towbar. Great for road bikes, gravel bikes and lighter mountain bikes.

Bike Racks for E-bikes

E-bikes need a bit more care when choosing a rack. They are usually heavier than standard bikes, and often have larger frames, wider tyres, mudguards or batteries to work around. For most E-bike owners, a towbar mounted platform rack is the easiest and safest option.

Popular E-bike compatible options include the Thule Epos, EasyFold 3 and VeloSpace XT, with higher load ratings and easier loading than most roof mounted bike racks.
