Bike Racks for Cars in Mansfield, Derby & Nottingham
The different types of bike racks we can provide include:
- Roof-mounted bike racks – if your car’s roof has rails, then this option might be most suitable, attaching your bike to the roof of your car, giving full visibility out of the back window
- Boot bike racks – with the mount attached to the back of your car, your bikes will be secure as you head to your destination
- Towbar bike racks – among the most common types of bike racks, if you have a large number of bicycles to carry, this is the safest way to do so. Towbar bike racks allow you to transport up to five bikes at a time

Common questions
Frequently asked
What’s the best type of bike rack?
There are a few different ways to carry bikes on a vehicle. These are:
Roof mounted bike racks – these are a good option for lightweight or expensive bikes which have fast-release parts. It does involve lifting and can be a problem in height-restricted car parks.
Boot/Tailgate mounted bike racks – this type doesn’t need a towbar but it’s not recommended if carrying more than two bikes. These racks involve lifting and are not suitable for electric bikes.
Towbar Bike carriers (platform) – sturdy, safe and usually coming with integrated lighting and locks, Ken’s Autos offers an all-in-one solution supplying, assembling and fitting the bike racks, number plates and tow bars at our centre in Nottingham.
Towbar Bike carrier (hook-on fork frame) – these towbar mounted carriers have a frame onto which the bikes are hooked and fastened on. It involves lifting but is cheaper than the platform types and easier to store.
