The Thule VeloCompact 2 Bike Rack 925001AU is Thule's top - choice for daily bike transport. It's their most compact and lightweight carrier for 2 bikes. The smart foot - pedal tilt system makes bike loading a breeze and still provides great rear access even when bikes are loaded. It has extendable wheel holders and longer wheel straps with quick - release pump buckles, offering versatility and easy loading. With a 46kg total load limit and 25kg per bike limit, it can handle a wide range of bikes, though not all e - bikes or long - wheelbase bikes (max wheelbase up to 130cm). For road safety, it features width - adjustable integrated lights and a plate holder. It arrives almost fully assembled and comes with locks to secure both the bikes to the carrier and the carrier to the towball. This unit is tailored for Australian regulations and vehicles, with an AU code and a custom - designed electrical adapter for a flat 7 - pin vehicle outlet.

Using the Thule VeloCompact 2 Bike Rack is easy. First, make sure the rack is properly attached to the towball using the provided locks. To load a bike, use the foot - pedal tilt system to access the carrier easily. Then, place the bike on the rack and use the extendable wheel holders and wheel straps with quick - release pump buckles to secure it. Remember, the total load limit is 46kg and 25kg per bike, so don't overload it. Avoid using it for e - bikes or long - wheelbase bikes that exceed the load limits. For maintenance, regularly check the locks for proper functioning. Keep the integrated lights clean and check the electrical adapter for any signs of damage. If you're not using the rack for a long time, store it in a dry place to prevent rust.
