Bike carrier test according to DIN 75303 – The crash test in detail<\/h2>

A comprehensive test is essential to ensure the safety of a bike carrier in road traffic. Our bike carrier test<\/strong> in accordance with DIN 75303 simulates a realistic rear-end collision and provides a well-founded test report<\/strong> on the load capacity and stability of the carrier system.<\/p>

The crash test<\/strong> according to DIN 75303<\/strong> is part of the safety test for bike carriers and simulates a rear-end collision in order to evaluate the durability and safety of the carrier system in the event of an accident<\/strong>.<\/p>

1. Test objective: Safety in the event of a crash<\/strong><\/p>

The bike carrier test checks whether the carrier and the mounted bikes remain firmly attached to the vehicle in the event of a defined impact:<\/p>

  • remain firmly attached to the vehicle,<\/li>
  • pose no danger to vehicle occupants or other road users,<\/li>
  • do not detach completely from the carrier.

    <\/li><\/ul>

    2. Structure and implementation<\/strong><\/p>

    • The carrier system is loaded with the maximum authorised load<\/strong> (e.g. 2 e-bikes, approx. 60 kg in total).<\/li>
    • The vehicle (or a corresponding test rig structure) is subjected to a crash at a defined speed<\/strong>.

      <\/li><\/ul>

      3. Typical test parameters<\/strong> <\/p>

      • Speed 16 km\/h: <\/strong>This speed corresponds to a typical rear-end collision situation.<\/li>
      • Deceleration\/impulse:<\/strong> typically around 10 g<\/strong> (i.e. 10 times the acceleration due to gravity) over a period of several seconds.

        <\/li><\/ul>

        4. Assessment criteria<\/strong><\/p>

        • The carrier must not detach from the vehicle<\/strong>.<\/li>
        • The bikes must remain secured<\/strong> and must not become completely detached from the carrier.<\/li>
        • No dangerous parts<\/strong> may fly around<\/strong>.<\/li>
        • The carrier can deform<\/strong>, but not in such a way that it poses a danger to traffic<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>


          5. Documentation: test report<\/strong><\/p>

          • Photo and video recording.<\/li>
          • Measurement of accelerations, forces and possibly movement paths of bikes.<\/li><\/ul>


            The 16 km\/h<\/strong> according to DIN 75303 is the minimum requirement<\/strong>.<\/p>

            Some manufacturers – like us – also have their bike carriers tested at higher impact speeds (e.g. 30 km\/h).<\/p>

            However, the 16 km\/h test is legally and normatively sufficient<\/strong> for approval in accordance with DIN 75303.<\/p>

            Tested safety – put your trust in the compact 2e+1<\/strong><\/h2>

            Our compact 2e+1<\/strong> bike carrier was subjected to a crash test<\/strong> under realistic conditions in reference with DIN 75303<\/strong>. We adhered to the specified requirements – both in terms of the test setup and the load and impact force.<\/p>

            The standard stipulates that the carrier and the bikes being transported must remain securely attached to the vehicle<\/strong> in the event of an impact. In addition, no part weighing more than 10 grams<\/strong> may come loose – an important requirement for the protection of all road users.<\/p>

            Our compact 2e+1 fulfils these requirements effortlessly<\/strong>. The result: a safe, stable and reliable bike carrier<\/strong> that you can rely on – even in an emergency.<\/p>
