Product Information

Full details

The TreeFrog Pro 1 Plus bike carrier rack is designed for cyclists who require a versatile, portable, and secure transport solution that avoids the need for permanent roof rails. It is an excellent choice for users switching between vehicles or those with sports cars, hatchbacks, and sedans where traditional racks won't fit. The key benefit is its non-invasive vacuum-mount system that attaches to glass, metal, or fiberglass; however, potential users must ensure the mounting surface is kept clean and debris-free to maintain the integrity of the vacuum seal.

FAQs

Can I use this on a car with a sunroof?

Yes, provided the sunroof is made of glass and is large enough to accommodate the vacuum cups securely.

Will the suction cups damage my car's paint?

When the surface is clean, the high-quality rubber cups will not damage the paint. Avoid placing them on dirty or dusty surfaces to prevent scratches.

Is it safe to drive at highway speeds?

Yes, the rack is TÜV certified and safe for highway use, provided it is mounted correctly and the vacuum pressure is checked periodically.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

The rack is designed to carry one bike with a maximum weight of 20kg.

Can this be used on dirty vehicles?

No, you must clean the mounting area before every use to ensure a secure vacuum seal.

Does it work with quick-release forks?

The 2023 Pro Plus model features an upgraded mount; ensure you have the appropriate adapter if you are using standard quick-release forks instead of thru-axles.

Troubleshooting

Vacuum cup loses pressure

Clean both the suction cup and the vehicle surface thoroughly to remove dust or wax buildup.

The pump indicator continues to show red

Ensure the surface is completely flat and non-porous; check that the cup is not placed over a seam or indentation on the car body.

Difficulty mounting the bike

Verify that you are using the correct axle adapters for your specific fork width.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: clean the mounting surface, position the rack, and pump the vacuum mechanism until the safety indicators signify a full hold. It is compatible with virtually any vehicle with a solid, non-porous section large enough for the three suction cups. For care, always remove the rack from the vehicle when not in use to maintain the longevity of the rubber suction cups. Store the unit in a cool, dry place. Regularly inspect the vacuum cups for cracks or debris and ensure the pump mechanisms move freely without resistance.
