Thule is proud to introduce Thule VeloLite, a new towbar-mounted platform bike carrier designed to make everyday bike transport simple, compact, and accessible.
With a lightweight, fixed-platform design and a focus on essential functionality, Thule VeloLite delivers reliable Thule quality in an easy-to-handle format that suits daily life just as well as weekend adventures.
Designed as a cost-efficient and space-saving solution, Thule VeloLite is available in 1-, 2-, and 3-bike versions, offering flexible options
for solo riders, couples, and smaller families alike. Its compact folding platform makes it easy to store when not in use, while the low-profile
design ensures a clean, unobtrusive fit on the car.
Designed for everyday bike transport
Thule VeloLite is built around a fixed platform, allowing for a lightweight construction with fewer complex parts. This design choice keeps
handling simple and intuitive, making the carrier easy to mount, fold, and store. With a folded weight starting from 17 kg, it is one of the
most compact lightweight platform carriers ever from Thule, designed for users who value convenience without compromising on safety
or stability.
Simple access and broad bike compatibility
Thanks to its low height and clean rear design, Thule VeloLite allows access to the car’s trunk when no bikes are mounted, without the
need to remove the carrier. Independent bike arms with adjustable, pivoting heads accommodate a wide range of bike types and frame
geometries, from road and gravel bikes to mountain bikes, BMXs, and everyday commuters.
Simple access and broad bike compatibility
When not in use, the platform folds down into a compact unit that fits easily in a trunk or garage. Integrated rear lights and a license plate
holder ensure the carrier is fully road legal, while the proven Thule coupling design with an ergonomic handle and included lock provides
a secure and stable connection to the towbar every time.
“With Thule VeloLite, we wanted to focus on what really matters for everyday bike transport. By keeping the design simple and compact,
we’ve created a lightweight platform carrier that’s easy to live with and accessible to more cyclists, including those who only need to
transport a single bike. It’s a straightforward, reliable solution that delivers the safety and quality people expect from Thule.” says
