Another highlight of the Mini Bomber is its small size. When it’s not needed, it can easily be stashed in most cars. Our three and four bike carriers are designed to carry a maximum load of 65 kg, which corresponds to 3 to 4 adult bikes. The straps, located at the end of adjustable rods, secure your bike in place by the front fork and seat stay.

It’s well made and exceptionally easy to use, and is very sturdy even on the bumpiest of roads – the bikes barely move and are secured very well. However, it is essential that the combined trailer nose weight and weight of the cycles does not exceed the maximum towball nose load, as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Loading bikes is, of course, another primary concern. The SplitRail helps with this task by using tabs that keep the rear-wheel straps out of the way. It sounds minor, but in use it’s brilliant. You simply drape the pad over the tailgate and fasten the traps to secure it in place. When you want to transport bikes, you place them over the tailgate and use the velcro cradle system which wraps around the bikes’ frames to keep them secured in transit.If you have a dedicated space or think of yourself as more than a home mechanic, a permanent, pro-style stand, like the Park Tool Deluxe Double Arm Professional Work Stand, might better suit your needs. These are generally heavier, cost more and have a sturdier clamping system - should you ever need to crank down on a bolt or pedal that just wont budge - these repair stands help by either sitting on a heavy duty base or are permanently installed on your workshop floor. And if you plan to work on e-bikes, make sure the stand can support the weight and has a wide enough base to be stable when loaded. Many repair stands have a weight limit that’s high enough to support most e-bikes, but some of the lighter and/or portable stands that are meant for travel may not be appropriate. If you need to transport your and your pals’ bikes to go an adventure then this is a great fit and it’s also good value for your money. Pros style>
