Product Information
Full details
The Thule VeloSpace 3 is designed for cyclists who require a high-capacity, versatile towbar rack capable of transporting heavy e-bikes, mountain bikes, and children's bikes with ease. Its key benefit lies in the 60 kg total load capacity and the foot-operated tilt mechanism that allows full trunk access even when the rack is fully loaded. A notable caveat for prospective users is that while it is highly compatible with various bike types, users must ensure their vehicle's towbar can support the combined weight of the carrier and the bikes being transported.

FAQs
Can I use this rack with a carbon frame bike?
Yes, the frame arms are designed to fit a wide range of frame materials including carbon, provided the frame size is between 20 and 90 mm.
Does it fit all wheel sizes?
The rack is compatible with wheels ranging from 16 to 29 inches.
What is the maximum weight per bike?
Each individual bike position can support up to 30 kg, as long as the total combined weight of three bikes does not exceed 60 kg.
Will this rack fit on any car?
It is designed for use on vehicles equipped with a towbar. Please verify your towbar's specific vertical load capacity before mounting.
Can the rack be locked to the car?
Yes, the VeloSpace 3 includes integrated locking systems to secure the carrier to the towbar and the bikes to the carrier.
How do I clean the rack?
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the locking mechanisms.
Troubleshooting
The carrier feels loose on the towbar after locking.
Adjust the tightening bolt on the coupling mechanism to ensure a snug fit on the ball.
The foot-pedal tilt is difficult to engage.
Check that there is no debris around the pedal mechanism and ensure the load is balanced evenly.
Bike arms do not grip the frame securely.
Verify that the rotating head is properly positioned against the frame and the straps are fully tightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation begins by placing the rack onto the towbar; the coupling system holds the carrier in place, allowing you to align it properly before locking the tightening handle. Before your first trip, adjust the bike arms to suit your specific bicycle frame geometry and ensure the wheel trays are positioned to accommodate your bike's wheelbase. To maintain the rack, periodically check that the locking mechanisms are clean and free of debris. Wipe down the black finish with a damp cloth and mild soap to prevent salt or grime buildup, especially if driving in winter conditions. Always ensure that the total weight of the loaded bikes does not exceed the carrier's 60 kg limit.
