Unfortunately, we cannot provide any binding information on this. According to the manufacturer, however, it is most likely not possible to open the tailgate of the VW Caddy when the Thule VeloCompact is folded down, as the tailgate is very large in comparison. Unfortunately, we do not have a compatibility list, as it also depends on how high or which towbar is installed.

According to our information, 3 e-bikes will only fit if the total weight is adhered to.
The product is designed for 3 bikes, with a maximum total load of 60 kg and a maximum of 25 kg per bike. In practice, this is often too tight for 3 e-bikes.

No, with the Thule VeloCompact (926002), a towbar carrier, you cannot open the tailgate of the VW California T6.1 when the carrier is lowered. The angle of inclination is not large enough on this model, which is why the tailgate is blocked. For models with tailgate opening, please choose another carrier such as the Thule 929 or VeloSpace XT.

Hello, no, this bike carrier is not compatible with a Fix4Bike hitch. There is a specific Thule VeloCompact F model designed exclusively for Fix4Bike hooks.

What does "wide frame" mean? 6 cm diameter? 8 cm? The Fischer could be suitable if only 2 bikes need to be transported: Fischer bike ProlineEvo 2
Helpful answer
Conditional.
You can only ever remove the front wheel and have to remove all the others to get to the one on the tailgate, for example.

The buckles are 55cm apart, so I was told that children's bikes with a wheelbase of 75cm or more could be fitted.
Unfortunately I don't have such small bikes to try. The smallest I have fitted without any problems had a wheelbase of 90cm.

Yes here,

Definitely fits, provided a trailer coupling is available. The carrier can be tilted so that the tailgate can be opened.
The key for Thule bike racks can be easily replaced. Simply look at the reference number on the lock cylinder of the bike carrier and select the corresponding replacement key, e.g. at Bikester.

Sure, because it tilts away from the car (with my Mercedes C-class, the door can be opened perfectly).

Unfortunately the manufacturer does not indicate this.

Bicycle carrier should work with any car as it is installed on the trailer hitch. Just make sure you have a 9 or 13 pin electrical connector. What I find great about this bike carrier is the feature that when you switch on the car's alarm indicators and then the electrical contact of the bike carrier, the bike carrier automatically runs through a test programme for all lights. Very practical.

Hello,
Yes, with bikes it's a bit tight... I have to protect the fork and chain stay if necessary. Also with the 1st bike (to the car) with handlebar widths over 80cm I have to turn it away sometimes. But otherwise it is a great carrier... I don't know of a better one!

It depends very much on how neatly you position the carrier on the trailer coupling head. If it is too tight, lift it again, place it on the ball head again and pull it up a little at the back.
The bicycle wheel is placed in a rail.
A fastening band is fixed to the rail on one side and a tensioning device (ratchet) on the other side. The strap is flexible. The maximum height of the band with 2 prongs in the tensioning device is 16 cm (x).
If the maximum width is at a height of 7 cm (y), the maximum possible width is 9.5 cm (z).
Furthermore, it depends on the length of the bike, so it may be that the wheel fixation is not at the lowest point (It usually is, because better stability is achieved).
But the fixation can also be done with a separate clamping set.

But children's bikes can also be mounted without any problems.
No, unfortunately that is not possible. The strap must be removed.
Yes, should fit mM.
My CH car has 13-pin (similar to Velocompact 3). The only thing missing from the Unitec short adapter (also available at Galaxus) is the cover to prevent it from turning out. But maybe they have solved it differently...
It fits onto the tow ball, so as long as you have a tow bar, it should work. Check the load capacity of your tow bar. Regarding child bikes, I have carried bikes with 16" wheels and up without any issue. I tend to load the rack with the big heavy bikes first, and then the child bikes on last.
The width of the wheel loop is 9.5 cm (10 cm tyre width also possible). Then the loop has a height of 13 cm (tyre + rim).

I would say yes, that would fit:
- My MTB has 117cm Radstand and fits easily.
- Veloträger is 118cm wide (Felgenhalter Ende zu Felgenhalter Ende) but since both are under an angle, the supporting position (Kontaktfläche Felgenhalter - Reifen) for any MTB is far less than the Radstand.
- At some point the Schnallen could be the limiting factor since these would be too short. Mine still has a lot of spare though (2.4 Reifen) and therefore I do not see this as an issue for a 120cm radstand MTB.
Unfortunately we are unable to give you an answer, please contact Thule directly.
No, unfortunately it is not compatible.
