FIX4BIKE
Innovative connection – The fastest way of mounting a carrier.
FIX4BIKE is a towbar with two pins underneath the ball head of the towbar. Our FIX4BIKE compatible products enable a very simple and safe one-click-mounting.
By placing the carrier on the FIX4BIKE towbar it is automatically locked and correctly positioned. A time-consuming “bringing into balance” is no longer necessary.
The system can be locked onto the towbar. Many vehicles are meanwhile equipped with a FIX4BIKE towbar as standard. In addition, FIX4BIKE is also available in the aftermarket and can be installed later on.

Does my bike fit on the carrier?
The wheelbase
Basically, the wheelbase (distance between the axles) of your bike is decisive first. The bike carrier has an overall width of 1.30 m. If your wheelbase is not less than 1.10 m and does not exceed the 1.30 m, the bike will stand safely on the carrier platform.
By the way: Very large bikes have a wheelbase of 1,25-1,27 m. Larger bikes are extremely rare to find on the market.
The bike carrier was specially developed for e-bikes. Due to e.g. a mid-mounted motor, a special suspension or the positioning of the battery, the wheelbase of these bikes is often significantly larger than that of “normal” bikes. In the version for 2 bikes, we have therefore concentrated on e-bikes with a wheel base of 1.10 m or more. A bike with a wheelbase smaller than 1.10 m can of course still be transported using the 3rd extension. The extension rails can be moved and thus individually adapted to a smaller bike.
Length of the tire straps (40 or 50 cm?)
Which tire straps are suitable for you, unfortunately, can not be answered in a general way. Here, 3 factors play an important role in combination with each other: the wheelbase, the wheel size and the tire width. Depending on the combination, it may be necessary to convert to the long tire straps (50 cm).
Perhaps you will find yourself in one of the following combinations to make your decision a little easier. Basically, you do not make a mistake with the conversion to long tire straps!
Standard tire straps (40 cm) have worked with:
- Mountain e-bike: 1.12 cm wheelbase, 27.5″ wheel size, 2.60″ tire width
- City/trekking e-bike: 1.14 m wheelbase, 28″ wheel size, 1.75″ tire width
Converted to long tire straps (50 cm) at:
- Mountain bike: 1.18 m wheelbase, 27.5″ wheel size, 2.35″ tire width
- Mountain bike: 1.24 m wheelbase, 27.5″ wheel size, 2.35″ tire width
- Mountain e-bike: 1.20 m wheelbase, 27.5″ wheel size, 2.60″ tire width
In all 3 converted variants was still more than enough tire strap available, consequently, even larger models are no problem.
Length of the ratchet strap for the frame (35 or 50 cm?)
We would like to point out that even with e-bikes with intube (integrated) battery, there are usually frame elements that have a small diameter to which you can attach the bike with our ratchet strap in standard length (35 cm). For example, in the area of the seat tube.
The standard frame strap works up to a frame diameter of 80 mm. Beyond that (80+ mm) you need to switch to the long ratchet strap (50 cm).
