The new Thule VeloCompact 3 926 bike carrier is suitable for 3 bikes as standard. If you want to transport 4 bikes, a fourth bike adapter is available in our range that makes it possible to transport 4 bikes.
Super easy to use
This Thule car bike rack is easy to use because of the special coupling mechanism. The carrier automatically hangs correctly; simply place it on the ball and let go. If necessary, you can then still make minor adjustments and secure the carrier with the handle, but without having to hold the rack straight.
Secure mounting
Like other Thule bike carriers, the VeloCompact 3 926 has smart, detachable bike arms that ensure you can always position and secure the bike in the safest possible way. In addition, the wheel holders are extendable to fit bikes with large wheelbases. The rims are secured with straps with pump buckles.
Tilt function, compact storage and safety
Of course, the Thule VeloCompact 3 926 is tiltable. Thanks to the convenient foot pedal, this requires no effort at all. In addition, the rack folds into a compact size and comes with locks for the bikes as well as the carrier itself. Safety is guaranteed by the extensive tests to which the carrier has been subjected and the various certifications it has received: City Crash test, TÜV certification and EuroBE type certification.

Goods were delivered damaged (two plastic parts broken off). As the carrier was urgently needed for holidays, the parts were glued.
