Rear mounted bike rack

Does your car not have a tow bar, but would you like to carry your bicycles with you nonetheless? No worries, because you can then choose for a roof bike rack or a rear-mounted bike rack, which is mounted on the tailgate. A rear-mounted bike rack is also very suitable for people who go on holiday using a caravan. Using a rear-mounted bike carrier you can take your bikes with you and making sure that the tow bar is free to tow along your caravan or trailer.

Please note that in use, a rear-mounted bike rack may not obstruct the visibility of your taillights as well as the number plate. These need to be sufficiently visible at all times. Even when the bicycles are on the bike rack. Make sure to check this in advance, to avoid problems while on the road.

Before you choose a rear-mounted bike rack please pay attention to the type of tailgate of your car. The type of tailgate is important because most rear-mounted bike racks are not suitable for tailgates entirely made out of glass. Also, pay attention to the maximum load capacity. Rear-mounted bike racks have a lower load capacity than tow bar bike racks. The load weight of a rear-mounted bike rack is in general between 20 to 45 kilograms. More heavy bikes, such as electric bikes, are often too heavy for transportation using a rear-mounted bike carrier.

Rear-mounted bike racks for e-bikes

Bicycle carriers for use without a tow bar can be used for carrying electric bicycles. An e-bike easily weighs around 25 kilograms. This means that you can often only carry one e-bike on a rear-mounted bike rack, which would normally have a load capacity of 2 to 3 city bicycles. If you want to transport more than one e-bike, it is better to consider a bike carrier for on your tow bar.
