Arvika Bike Racks

FAQ

Installation and modification

CAN THE BIKE RACK BE INSTALLED BEHIND THE TRAILER?

We do not recommend installing it behind the trailer, as this is neither stable nor safe. To ensure greater stability and avoid breakage, we strongly recommend installing the bike rack at the front of your trailer.

WHICH BIKE RACK CAN BE INSTALLED ON BOTH A CARAVAN AND A CAR?

You can install the same Arvika bike rack on your car's hitch as well as on your trailer. We sell a wide selection of mounting brackets to meet all your installation needs. The Arvika 7000 series bike mount is compatible with all our adapters.

I HAVE REGULAR BIKES, BUT I PLAN TO BUY ELECTRIC BIKES IN THE FUTURE. SHOULD I BUY THE EBIKES RACK NOW?

No! What differentiates our regular rack from the e-bike rack is the weight capacity. You'll simply need to buy an additional support arm to increase the maximum weight from 150 to 200 lbs.

WE ONLY HAVE TWO BIKES AT THE MOMENT, BUT PLAN TO BUY MORE IN THE FUTURE. SHOULD I BUY A BIKE RACK FOR MORE THAN TWO BIKES?

No. All you need to do is buy Kit 3 or Kit 4, depending on the number of bikes you intend to mount on your rack. You can buy them on the components page here:

KIT3

KIT4

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.

The standard 7000 series is compatible with a wide variety of trailers such as Forest River, Grand River, Coleman, and others. Please contact one of our representatives to validate compatibility with other models.

WHICH BIKE RACK KIT IS BEST SUITED TO FAT-BIKE TRANSPORT?

The Arvika 7000 series bike rack with steel gutters for Fat bikes is the best solution on the market. All you have to do is choose which gutter format will best suit your bike, 3 or 5 inches.

The rack will vary in weight depending on the components it includes. Maximum weight is 55 lbs.

CAN I BUY THE SAFARI CONDO ADAPTER?
