Transport system
Safe transport
Bike racks are available in a variety of designs and can be mounted on the roof, trailer hitch or tailgate. However, loading and unloading carriers mounted on the tailgate or trailer hitch is usually easier and thus the more suitable solution for heavy bicycles.
Most cyclists look for the bike rack model that is easiest and most convenient to use and will get the bike to its destination protected, safe and ready to ride. However, the first question you should ask yourself when choosing a bike rack for your vehicle is what type of vehicle you have and how many bikes you want to transport.

Why trailer hitch bike carrier?
This category of bike racks is perfect for families or friends with e-bikes who want to ride on forest trails or downhill races. If you have an e-vehicle whose roof can't support much weight, or if you're looking for an extremely aerodynamic solution to save fuel, a trailer hitch bike rack is an excellent choice.
Trailer hitch mounted bike racks are the most common type of bike rack, and a good option if you already have a trailer hitch on your vehicle or plan to add one. These bike racks can carry one to four bikes, are easy to install, and don't require heavy or high lifting. Some can even be tilted with bikes loaded to allow access to the trunk.
They are designed for quick and easy loading and unloading of bikes and can be adapted to a variety of frame types.
Reasons to choose a bike rack with trailer hitch
- easy loading and unloading of bicycles
- different types of bicycle frames can be transported
- heavy bikes or e-bikes can be transported
- aerodynamic bike carrier solution
- the vehicle does not bear weight on the roof
Why roof bike racks?
This category of bike racks is ideal for cycling enthusiasts who ride a road bike or a cross-country bike on the road, MTB trails or gravel paths.
While these models require a roof rack on the vehicle, fork-mounted bike racks or upright bike racks are great for sedans and smaller SUVs with lower cargo heights or for vehicle models that don't have a trailer hitch. When you choose a fork-mount or wheel-mount bike rack, you ensure that the rack makes absolutely no contact with your precious carbon frame.
Roof bike racks have a sleek, sporty design and are suitable for almost all bike sizes. They come with fork, wheel or frame mounts
Reasons for a roof bike rack
- the vehicle has a lower roof height
- for unrestricted access to the rear of the vehicle
- for a sporty, classic look
Why tailgate bike racks?
This category of bike racks is ideal for cyclists who ride less often, don't have a trailer hitch on their car, or don't want to lift the bike onto the car roof.
This type of bike rack can carry one to three bikes, folds up and stores easily when not in use, making it a good choice for cyclists who ride infrequently or have limited space in their garage or home.
Reasons for a tailgate bike rack
- no trailer hitch available
- to use the bike only occasionally
- not to lift bicycles on the roof
- cheap option, variant
Which type of bike rack you should choose also depends on how many bikes you want to transport. Since roof bike racks transport bikes on the car roof, the number of bikes you can take is limited. Basically, all types of bike racks are perfect for two bikes.
