What To Look For While Getting A Trike Bike Rack

By Richard Hamilton


When moving around, it is quite hard to move with extra luggage. This is because of room in transport car may be limited in different ways. Therefore, to overcome this problem, one can go for extension add-ons on their vehicles to support the extra baggage to save time and cost that may be incurred in looking for extra room or transport mode. Below are some things to look for while buying a trike bike rack.

Whenever buying any bike, it is important to factor in the cost of purchase. One should make a list of the available brands in the market while making a purchase. Some brands may be overpriced for no reasons. For those under price may indicate problems in materials used or quality. One should pick the fairest priced rack in the market to save on money.

Strength and durability is also a key pint to consider while making a rack purchase. These extensions are usually loaded with the bikes that may be varying in the weight. The extension therefore need be strong enough to support the weight of the bike and should still be effective and reliable after a long time of use without any breakages.

The size of bike racks differ by the number of the bicycles it can handle. Therefore, depending on personal problems and needs, one should pick what the pocket can afford and solves the problem. But on the other hand, one is advised to pick the bigger rack just in case a need arises to carry an extra bicycle. It beats logic to buy two single size extensions that cannot be mounted in one car which will end up being a waste of resources.

The design varies in the make and the brands in market today. They are those N- shaped, double decker, truck mount hitch mounts among many others. They all have a difference in way they are mounted to the car. Each has the pro and cons when put in use. For example, the mount hitch rack gives one a problem in accessing the boot door since they are mounted in a way they do not allow the door to open.

Depending on the car type, one is usually restricted to a certain type of rack. Most trucks can have the underside mounted one since they are a bit raised and have a bigger space to the underside. The saloon cars are quite low and have an ample height space compared to other cars. They can therefore have roof racks that can be mounted on the top or at the boot door.

It is highly regarded for one to get one that mounts the bike by the wheels rather than the frame. This is because the frames in the day to day have a lot of variations in size and design in comparison to the old convectional bicycles. Therefore, the rack that mounts the bike using the wheels can be used over a wide variety of design of bicycle frames.

The ease in mounting or installing the rack is another important. The easier it usually is to install to the car the better for it saves time and is easier since anyone can do it. It is therefore important for a client to understand their needs before acquiring one extension.
