Lightweight Design for Solo Cyclists

The Thule VeloLite 1 Bike Rack is designed for cyclists who regularly travel with one bike and don't need the extra size or weight of a two-bike or three-bike carrier.

At just 9.5kg, it's particularly convenient for lifting onto a towbar, moving between vehicles where compatible and storing between trips.

Its compact design makes it an excellent choice for solo riders, commuters and cycling enthusiasts who want a dependable bike carrying solution without unnecessary bulk.

Compact Folding for Easy Storage

One of the standout advantages of the Thule VeloLite is its compact folding platform.

When not in use, the carrier folds down to just 42 × 77 × 20cm, making it easier to store in a garage, shed or suitable car boot.

This is particularly useful if storage space is limited or you prefer to remove your bike rack between cycling trips.

The practical folding design provides the convenience of a platform-style towbar carrier in a smaller package.

Suitable for Road Bikes, Gravel Bikes & Mountain Bikes

The Thule VeloLite is designed to accommodate a wide selection of bicycle styles and frame geometries.

Its independent attachment arm features a pivoting head and adjustable strap, allowing secure attachment to suitable bicycle frames measuring between 20mm and 90mm.

The adjustable wheel holders support bicycles with wheel sizes from 16–29 inches and wheelbases up to 1250mm.

With a maximum bike weight of 25kg, the VeloLite may also be suitable for certain lightweight electric bikes, provided the bicycle meets all applicable weight and size restrictions.

Simple & Secure Bike Loading

Loading your bike is straightforward thanks to the independent bike arm and adjustable wheel straps.

The pivoting frame attachment helps accommodate different frame designs, while pump buckle wheel straps help secure the bicycle wheels during transport.

Convenient wheel strap organisers keep the straps neatly positioned when loading or unloading.

The robust towbar coupling features an ergonomic handle and integrated locking mechanism for secure mounting to a compatible vehicle.

Low-Profile Design with Practical Boot Access

The Thule VeloLite features a lightweight, fixed platform designed to minimise bulk at the rear of your vehicle.

Unlike tilting towbar carriers, the VeloLite does not tilt away from the car when a bicycle is loaded.

However, its low-profile design can allow access to the vehicle's boot while the empty carrier remains attached, depending on the vehicle's tailgate clearance.

This makes it a practical option for everyday use without needing to remove the rack each time you access your boot.

Ideal for Scottish Cycling Adventures

Whether you're riding the trails at Glentress, exploring the roads around Loch Lomond or heading into the Scottish Highlands, the Thule VeloLite Single Bike Carrier makes transporting your bicycle more convenient.

Its lightweight construction and compact storage make it ideal for cyclists who want to take their bike along on weekend breaks, day trips and regular cycling adventures.

From commuting around Glasgow to exploring cycling routes across Scotland, the Thule VeloLite provides a straightforward solution for carrying one bicycle.

Vehicle Compatibility & Important Information

The Thule VeloLite 1 Bike Towbar Rack requires a compatible vehicle towbar and a 13-pin electrical connection for its integrated rear lighting.

Before purchasing, check your vehicle's maximum permitted towbar nose weight, the carrier's compatibility with your vehicle and your bicycle's dimensions.

The carrier weighs 9.5kg and supports a bicycle weighing up to 25kg. The combined weight of the carrier and loaded bicycle must remain within your vehicle and towbar limits.

Please note that the carrier features a fixed platform without a loaded tilt function, so access to the boot with a bicycle fitted may be restricted.
