THULE VELOLITE 1 Bike Carrier on Hitch

The Thule VeloLite 1 is an ultra-compact tow ball bike rack, specially designed for cyclists who travel alone. Ideal for daily rides, training sessions, or weekend getaways, this model eliminates the need to install a large, heavy, and bulky multi-bike rack when you only have one bike to transport.

The VeloLite 1’s strength lies in its ergonomic design and lightweight construction. It attaches to the tow ball in seconds and offers impeccable stability. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, it can accommodate a wide variety of bike models, from carbon road bikes to modern mountain bikes, while still allowing access to the vehicle’s trunk. Once your ride is over, its minimalist design allows you to store it in the trunk or in a corner of the garage without taking up much space.

Is it suitable for transporting an electric mountain bike (e-MTB)? This model is designed for lightness and compactness. While it can easily accommodate traditional mountain bikes or road bikes, it’s important to check its maximum load capacity before mounting a heavy e-bike. If your e-MTB exceeds the weight recommended by Thule for this model, you’re better off choosing the Thule EasyFold or Epos series, which are specifically reinforced for heavy loads.

Does it get in the way when opening the trunk once installed? Thanks to its compact, single-bike design, the VeloLite 1 takes up very little space depth-wise. In the vast majority of passenger cars, sedans, and station wagons, the remaining space allows you to open the trunk lid without any difficulty, even when the bike is in place.

How do you store it when you’re not using it? That’s one of its biggest strengths. Unlike models for 3 or 4 bikes, which are heavy and bulky, the VeloLite 1 comes apart in a flash. You can slide it right into your car’s trunk while you’re driving, or hang it on a hook in your garage. It’s so easy to store that you’ll hardly even notice it’s there.
