Tesla Bike Racks

Tesla models such as the Model 3, Model X and Model Y are all equipped with a panoramic sunroof. This is great for letting light into the car and generating the feeling of space, however a big downside to this is that there are no specific mounting points for roof bars as there are on other manufacturers, therefore it’s not easy to carry sports equipment such as bikes on your Tesla. We have collated your options into an easy Tesla bike rack guide.

Solo, Duo & E-Solo Bike Rack

The main floor with the current Tesla range regarding sports carrying compatibility is the panoramic roof, which is also one of the great features of the car when its being used generally.

A vacuum mounted bike carrier such as Solo, Duo or E-Solo by Mount Evo works with
this feature and is fully compatible with the panoramic roof. There is no
fitting kit needed nor are any other components required for secure
fitting to the roof or rear window.

Our bike racks can be installed in as little as 2 mins and removed in less than 30 seconds.

Towbar Bike Carrier

Towbar bike carrier:

Towbar mounting is an option with the Tesla model 3, however
if a towbar is not fitted to the vehicle from factory, then it will need to be
retrofitted by a professional (average fully fitted price £800-£1000). There
are also weight limits to carrying with a tow bar on the model 3 depending on the number of occupants and the wheel/tire size. More info at Tesla.

Once you have a towbar retrofitted (or factory fitted) you
will need a towbar bike carrier. The average price for a towbar bike carrier is approximately £380.00.

The total estimated cost for a towbar mounted bike carrier
is £1280-£1580.

  • Advantages

    Towbar bike carriers are great if multiple bikes need to be carried together regularly. They are also a secure way to transport bikes once the carrier is setup.

  • Disadvantages

    Towbar carriers require a large initial investment. They are also bulky to attach and remove, requiring 2 people. Finally they can affect accesibilty to the boot/trunk.

  • Conclusion

    Overall towbar carriers are an effectobe solution for multiple bikes. However for one or two bikes, they are a large investment with little flexibility.
