13-pin Tow Bar Mounted Cycle Carrier
The Thule VeloCompact is a compact and lightweight cycle tow-bar mounted carrier that easily couples to your vehicle using a simple hand operated clamping system. The patented coupling is suitable for all types of towbars, and needs no adjustment. When not in use, it can be folded down flat and fits in the boot of most cars.
This bike carrier is compatible with cars fitted with a rear mounted spare wheel, providing you use the Spare Wheel Adapter 9241. Note you will lose 1 bike space, reducing the capacity for the VeloCompact to 1 bike only.
The Thule VeloCompact features a smart foot pedal that allows you to tilt the bike carrier down in order to access the boot of your car, even when bikes are loaded.
The VeloCompact bike carriers have integrated lighting board and number plate holder, simply plug in the 13 pin plug into your car's towbar electric socket. (A 13-7 pin adapter is available for cars with 7 pin electrics)
