5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing product.
I was astounded how well the bike rack gripped my towbar. It held two relatively heavy bikes with ease and was sturdy as as rock. Incredible value too. Easy to fit, just follow the simple instructions carefully.
3.0 out of 5 stars Easy to install
Great that I can attach and remove with easeQuite compact as wellI personally love it for convenience and sturdiness. I was going to return as its for 3 bikes and only 2 will fit on and the attachments are so awkward to work with you have to squeeze the bikes past them which is difficult. Some would say its more hassle. If they where removable I would be really happy with it even with it only fitting 2 bikes.Also different frame bikes do not sit so well as to the space.I kept it for the convenience more than anything
5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeded my expectations 10/10
I read up on a few reviews before purchase and thought I would purchase one for my campervan. One arrived I quickly set about putting it on, which was very easy indeed. Once on it was very tight in place with myself putting it to the test and allowed it to take my full weight whilst I carried out a series of exercise tricep dips (13 stone). Did it move? Absolutely not.... quite impressed. I purchased the 3 bike variant although I would only mount 2, to which 3 adult bikes would be a squeeze to fit. If you purchase one I would suggest that you go and slightly tighten up all nuts and bolts on the bike rack, as I found them to be slightly loose. It takes less than a minute to fit and less time to remove, folds down into an easy storage item. All in all for what you pay and what you get is unquestionably value for money without compromise of safety or quality.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great value
I wouldn’t say this could carry 3 adult bikes, but for my purposes I just carry 1 e-bike roughly 20 miles round trip 3 times a week and it’s great. Super simple to attach and detach only takes minutes to get it and the bike secured. The straps to hold it in are not great though, one that fit snapped within a few weeks and the other wasn’t long enough . I use some Velcro straps which work a treat and also are quick to use. I would recommend it and buy again for short or occasional journeys and for no more than 2 adult bikes.
1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap
Very sturdy but in reality completely unusable. I picked up 2 brand new bikes from Halfords. One with a 22” frame and one 18” frame . Due to the arms being so wide the bikes are an absolute nightmare to get on the clamps. I ended up breaking the plastic cable clips on my bike an scuffing the paint work. If the products bar width were 2” less it would be easier. The clamp fixtures are very poor and slide around. You get what you pay for is the truth behind my experience.

Easy to use
5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic new solution to carrying bikes!
We are planning a camping trip with a camping trailer, but I wanted a small tow-bar-fitted bike carrier for when we are at our destination- and one that would fold up small enough to go in our trailer without taking up too much space.Pros: This carrier is definitely the answer! It has an ingenious way of connecting to the towbar: I've never seen this before, but it is really sturdy. As said, it folds up really small. The bike connectors also seem strong. Price! Quick to put on.Cons: As others have said, I think 3 bikes would be pushing it. Also, you do have to be a bit creative with smaller bikes: my adult hybrid fits perfectly (cross-bar on one connector and lower bar on the other(, while my son's bike (9-12yrs) is connected with the seat-pole on one end.For the price, it is an amazing solution.
3.0 out of 5 stars Flimsy construction, works well if you modify it....
Having just gotten into cycling, I wanted something to transport my new bike without having to take off wheels to fit it in my back seat.I thought the reviews of this carrier were good enough to warrant giving it a try over spending three or fours times the price on an expensive version of the same thing.Assembly was simple, had it out of the box and on the hitch of the car in 5 minutes. It seemed tightly clasped enough on the hitch. It was only when I put it on the following day that I noticed I was unable to tighten it sufficiently to stop it flopping around, backwards and forwards, left and right on the hitch. Securing it by hand with a thumbscrew didn't seem to me to be the best way to lock it in place but despite using no tools, I noticed I had managed to slightly bend the fastening bracket, thus relieving some clasping power. This carrier really is made of the flimsiest grade steel when you can bend it with hand strength along!I decided against returning it and instead went about modifying it to solve this problem. The solution was to bore holes in arms of the carrier right above where it grips the hitch. Then I used a long galvanized bolt which I put though both arms, added a few washers and then when the carrier was on the car, tightened a locknut on the bolt. This dragged cups of the clamp together for a rock solid, secure attachment to the ball hitch. Its a bit more of a faff to put on and off, needs a spanner now etc, but thats a small price to pay for the peace of mind that your bike would fall into the path of a car behind you on the road!My advice would be to buy it if you can do the above simple improvement yourself, if not, you might be better to stump up for the sturdier Thurle carrier.
