Portabici Thule Epos 2 ParkSecure

Thule's innovative and versatile Epos 2 ParkSecure car bike rack brings maximum safety and ultimate convenience together! Its unique built-in parking sensors provide instant alerts as soon as you approach an obstacle, considerably reducing the risk of causing damage while reversing. With a high load capacity and smart telescopic mounting arms, the Epos 2 allows you to transport almost any type of bike safely and securely on the tow bar.

A bike carrier with parking sensors: a fantastic breakthrough!
The Epos ParkSecure car bike rack is an absolute novelty - it is the very first model with a built-in electronic reverse alert system! As the car is reversing, a cleverly engineered network of four Thule ParkSecure sensors scans the space behind the car and transmits this data wirelessly to a compact receiver plugged into the USB port in the car's dashboard. This device also serves as a Bluetooth connection to your smartphone and provides clear audio and visual alerts inside the car to help you, the driver, keep your valuable bikes safe and damage-free.

Sturdy and stable structure
The Epos' robust and fully foldable frame is specially built to transport heavy bikes with maximum security. To attach a bike, secure the telescopic arm with flexible strap to its frame or rear wheel; this system provides excellent protection - even for fragile carbon frames - against scratches or too much clamping pressure. Then, mounting the bike carrier itself is super efficient thanks to the self-stabilising coupling system, which keeps the carrier neatly balanced on the towbar until you have finished (un)loading and are ready to close the tightening handle. It is a very clever way to make mounting much safer and lighter.

Details for your convenience
The system includes a practical foot pedal that smoothly tilts the entire structure away from the car so you can access the trunk without having to go through the whole unloading and loading procedure again. Although the total construction weighs over 23 kg, when folded the carrier is surprisingly easy and ergonomic to move thanks to the sturdy carrying handle. The wheels of the bike(s) on the rack are held securely in place by reliable pump buckles with a ratchet mechanism, and the included locks help with theft prevention (Thule's HighGrade lock is separately available).

Compatibility and sizing
For power connection, the Epos car bike rack has a 13-pin plug. As for weight, the carrier can accommodate 2 bikes that weigh no more than 30 kg each. The total load weight must not exceed 60 kg. The wheel slots support large wheels with a diameter up to 29 inches and tyres with a width up to 3 inches (this can be extended to 5 inches with a separate adapter). The large 25 cm distance between bikes prevents them from touching each other, and the extra-long wheel holders can accommodate bikes with a wheelbase up to 1350 mm.
