Arvika Bike Racks
FAQ
Installation and modification
CAN THE BIKE RACK BE INSTALLED BEHIND THE TRAILER?
No, bike racks should not be installed on the rear hitch of a travel trailer. This setup is neither stable nor safe. Hitch-mounted bike rack manufacturers advise against it, as it may damage both the rack and your bikes.
For optimal stability and to prevent damage, we recommend installing the bike racks on the A-frame of a trailer.
Can a bike rack be used on both a trailer and a car?
Arvika offers a horn hitch adapter that allows you to use the same bike rack frame on your trailer and your car’s hitch. With our wide selection of mounting brackets, you can easily meet all your installation needs.
Arvika's bike rack frames are fully compatible with all our adapters, ensuring seamless versatility for both trailer and car use.
I have bikes with regular tires but plan to buy bikes with larger tires in the future. Should I buy a rack with wider gutters now?
Yes, you can! Our wider gutters are fully capable of safely transporting bikes with narrower tires. Alternatively, you can easily replace the standard gutters with larger ones in the future to accommodate bikes with wider tires.
We only have two bikes now, but we plan to buy more in the future. Should I buy a bike rack for more than two bikes now?
Not necessarily. You can purchase additional kits later to expand your rack to carry a third or fourth bike. Find the expansion kits in our replacement parts.
DOES THE BIKE RACK COME WITH AN INSTALLATION MANUAL?
Yes, your order will come with an instruction manual.
You can find our various documents here.
You can find our installation video for our trailer bike rack here.
More instructional videos will be coming soon for our different kits.
