Towbar Bike Rack

Loading...

Are you looking for a quality cycle carrier you can fit quickly, easily and safely to your vehicle?

Whatever type of car or van you drive, Northwest Towbar Centre can kit you out with the most suitable bike carrier for your needs and taste. Having a bike carrier that feels secure, is easy to connect to your tow bar and is quick to load and unload will make a huge difference to the quality of your next bicycle trip.

Why choose a towbar bicycle rack?

Towbar cycle carriers are not the only way of transporting bicycles by road but, in our experience, they are faster and easier to fit and use than other methods. Most importantly, they are the safest option. 

Alternative ways of transporting bike’s are on the roof or your car. This would need a roof bar system and then roof bar mounted bike carriers to hold your bike’s. 

Finally, there are the tailgate mounted bike carriers. These are strapped directly onto the cars tailgate. In our opinion this method is the least favourable as the tailgate was not designed with carrying the extra load. The risk of damage to the vehicle is increased. A lot of modern cars are not suitable at all for this type of carrier. 

Whether you need to carry mountain bikes, road bikes, electric bikes or a combination, Northwest Towbar Centre will have a selection of towbar bike racks you can choose from - and at a sensible price.

How do towbar cycle carriers work?

You can basically divide towbar cycle carriers into two main types: those that you hang your bikes from (hang on bike racks / towbar mounted ) and platforms that you use to stand your bikes on (platform cycle carriers). You can see and buy from our showroom in Stockport or visit our online store. 

Apart from the basic type and price, there are a number of other factors you will need to consider before buying a cycle carrier but don't worry, we can advise you all the way.

For example, you will need to think about the maximum number of bikes you want to be able to transport compared to your vehicle's load capacity. The style and tow bar mounting of the cycle carrier is also important as this can affect access to the boot and compliance with the rules of the road (e.g. keeping your lights and registration plate visible). Some racks come with ingenious tilting mechanisms for improved access while others require no tools to fit to your vehicle.

Accessories for cycle carriers

Northwest Towbar Centre also supplies a wide range of accessories for bike carriers. For example, for some bike carriers you may need a lightboard (a lighting system that connects to your towbar power socket). From ramps and wheelbags to locks and adapters, if it is related to bike carriers, we can supply it. As with our bike racks, accessories can be filtered by price.
