Product description

About this product

Portable Car Bike Holder – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.

A foldable steel bike carrier for transporting bicycles on a vehicle. The supplier states a load capacity of up to 130 kg, which we pass on as their figure rather than one we have verified independently.

The folding construction is the practical appeal: a rack that collapses flat lives in the boot between uses instead of staying bolted to the car, which matters if the vehicle is also a daily driver.

We want to be direct about this product, because it is the one item in our cycling range where getting it wrong has consequences beyond a wasted purchase. A bike carrier holds several tens of kilos above a road at highway speed, and the strap tension, the mounting points and the fit to your particular vehicle all matter more than the headline capacity figure. Vehicle fit is not universal – a carrier that sits correctly on one boot lid may not on another.

So before you buy: tell us what vehicle you are fitting it to and how many bikes you want to carry, and we will confirm the mounting arrangement and check the documentation with the supplier. That conversation takes five minutes and is worth having.

Whatever carrier you end up with, the rules are the same. Check every strap and clamp before setting off and again after the first few kilometres. Remove loose items – bottles, pumps, computers – before loading. Add a separate safety strap. And make sure your number plate and lights remain visible, which is a legal requirement as well as a sensible one.

Questions

Good to know

Will it fit my car?

That is the question to settle before ordering, not after. Vehicle fit for boot-mounted carriers is not universal. Tell us your make and model and how many bikes you want to carry, and we will confirm the mounting arrangement with the supplier before you commit.

Is the 130 kg capacity verified?

That is the supplier's stated figure and we pass it on as such - we have not independently verified it. For a load-bearing item at road speed we would rather label a figure honestly than present it as tested fact. Ask us and we will request the documentation.

What should I check before every journey?

Every strap and every clamp, then again after the first few kilometres once everything has settled. Remove bottles, pumps and computers before loading. Fit a separate safety strap. Confirm your number plate and rear lights are still visible.

Can I leave the bikes on overnight?

Not somewhere unattended. A carrier holds a bike against road forces, not against theft. Use a separate cable lock through the frames and the rack at minimum, and bring the bikes inside where you can.

Does it damage the car?

Any strap-mounted carrier can mark paintwork where the pads bear, especially with grit trapped underneath. Clean both the pads and the contact area on the car before fitting, and check periodically that no dust has worked in.

Does carrying bikes affect the car?

Yes. Expect reduced rear visibility, changed handling in crosswinds and higher fuel consumption. Drive more gently than usual, particularly on the potholed sections outside town where a hard compression loads the rack badly.

How should I load the bikes?

Heaviest bike closest to the vehicle, handlebars turned so they do not foul each other, pedals positioned clear of frames. Pad any point where two frames touch - vibration over a long drive will rub paint through.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and send nationwide to Arusha, Moshi, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond by courier. Call or WhatsApp us if you need a same-day drop in the city.
