There are different types of motorcycle racks. Each type can be used differently, according to the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations. However, there are some practical tips that can be applied in general. It is important that the motorcycle rack is correctly attached to the vehicle's towing device. When loading the motorcycle, it is best to have a ramp and, with the engine running, push it onto the stand in one go. Once it is correctly positioned in the desired position, turn off the engine and use the stand as a support. Then use straps to securely attach the motorcycle to the carrier structure at the 4 corners. It is also important to make sure that the motorcycle being transported has the correct weight with regard to the maximum load capacity of the rack and that it is visibly marked, especially if the vehicle is being driven at night.

Some motorcycle carriers must meet a number of requirements in order to be used safely in traffic; in these cases, the most important thing is to ensure that the load corresponds to its capacity, that it has V20 sign plates in countries where it is required and, in certain cases, that it has been officially approved. Our TowCar Balance and TowCar Racing models are approved at European level and have the relevant production certificates, which means that this procedure is not necessary.

No. TowCar towbar motorcycle carriers are specially designed to transport children's dirt bikes, trial and minicross bikes, scooters, mopeds and motorcycles up to 75 kilograms.
