Description
The ProRide mounts on your existing roof bars. The bike stands upright, held by a frame clamp; wheels sit in a rail and are fixed with straps. Loading is done from the ground: lift bike, place wheel in rail, secure frame without over-tightening.
Typical uses: solo weekend ride, trip to the bike park, holiday with one bike.
Important: the ProRide is rated for 20 kg per bike. Most e-bikes weigh significantly more (25–28 kg) — for those please choose a tow hitch carrier.

Frequently asked questions
What should I consider when driving with bikes on the roof?
- Take the increased vehicle height into account – pay attention to low passages, parking garages and bridges, but also to trees in avenues
- Adapted driving style – crosswind sensitivity and the changed center of gravity can influence driving behavior.
- Regular safety check – Before every ride, check that the bikes are securely and correctly mounted.
- Consider fuel consumption – Higher air resistance can increase fuel consumption.
