kerékpárszállító

A kerékpárszállító, or bicycle carrier, is a device designed to transport bicycles using a vehicle. These carriers come in various forms, each with its own advantages and mounting methods. The primary purpose is to allow individuals to transport their bikes to different locations, such as trails, races, or holiday destinations, without the need to disassemble them or fit them inside the vehicle.

Common types include roof racks, trunk-mounted carriers, and hitch-mounted racks. Roof racks are typically mounted to the vehicle's roof rails or crossbars and hold the bikes vertically by their frames or wheels. Trunk-mounted carriers attach to the rear of the vehicle, usually to the trunk lid, and hold the bikes in a horizontal or slightly inclined position. Hitch-mounted racks are secured to a trailer hitch receiver at the rear of the vehicle and are known for their stability and ease of loading. Some specialized carriers exist for pickup trucks, often involving a fork mount or bed extender.

When choosing a kerékpárszállító, factors such as the number of bikes to be transported, the type of vehicle, ease of installation and removal, security features, and budget are important considerations. It is also crucial to ensure the carrier is compatible with the vehicle and the bicycles themselves, and that it complies with local traffic regulations regarding visibility and load overhang. Proper installation and secure loading of bicycles are essential for safe transport and to prevent damage to the vehicle or the bikes.
