Thule Velo Compact
from €6.30 per day
Tow-hitch carrier for 3 bikes, expandable to 4 if needed. More compact and lighter than the EasyFold XT 3 or Epos. Also fits e-bikes up to 25 kg per bike.
5 / 79 reviewsDescription
The Velo Compact is the lighter pick among the 3-bike carriers. It weighs less than the EasyFold models and is easier to lift onto the hitch. The per-bike weight limit is slightly lower at 25 kg (vs. 30 kg on EasyFold XT 3 or Epos).
Expandable to 4 bikes: the 4th-bike adapter can be added on request. Note: total payload stays at 60 kg — 4 × 15 kg is realistic, 4 heavy e-bikes won't work.
Suitable for
3 bikes up to 25 kg (or 4 bikes up to about 15 kg when expanded).
Not suitable for
Heavy e-bikes over 25 kg (use EasyFold XT 3 or Epos — up to 30 kg per bike), total load over 60 kg, cars without a tow bar.
Frequently asked questions
Are my bikes protected against theft?
Both the bike carrier and the bicycles are secured with locks to prevent unauthorized access. We still recommend securing the bikes on the carrier with an additional lock. At the destination or when not in use, you should remove the bicycles from the carrier and store them in a secure location.
Can I transport my carbon bike?
Yes, it is possible to transport a carbon bike on a bike rack, but special care must be taken to avoid damaging the delicate frame.
Which carriers are suitable for carbon bikes?
✔ Übler I21 Z90 and Thule Epos are already suitable for carbon frames as standard and enable safe transportation.
✔ For all other carriers, we recommend using the Thule Carbon Frame Protector, which reduces the pressure on the frame and offers additional protection and which you can add as an accessory when ordering.
How does the Thule Carbon Frame Protector work?
- Protects the sensitive carbon frame through special pressure distribution.
- Prevents crushing and damage to the surface.
- Simple mounting on the frame.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
Can I still open the trunk?
Yes, all of our towbar bike carriers are tiltable, ensuring that you have easy access to the trunk even when bikes are mounted. For vehicles with particularly large tailgates, such as vans or minibuses, we recommend the Uebler I21 Z90. This carrier can tilt up to 90°, providing unrestricted access to the trunk.
