Peter B.:This Westfalia cycle carrier is extremelypractical and easy to use.

Dirk M.:Quite simply, a successful cycle carrier.

Armin H.:The method of securing the wheels usingplastic straps in the wheel brackets is ideal.It is very quick to use and, as opposed to many othercarriers, you don't get your hands dirty.

Dirk S.:The adjustment options for where the wheelsare secured are positive benefit. Our electric bikes(with a longer wheelbase) fit well.

Sabine und Hans W.:It's perfect that the mounts andsecuring equipment on the cycle carrier can be usedeasily for both trekking bikes as well as electric bikes.

Werner P.:I can highly recommend the cycle carrier,also taking into account the options for expanding forother uses, such as a storage box or skis.

Patrick W.:The compact size and ability to fold it

together are wonderful. A great rack!
