What to expect

The Thule Epos ParkSecure is aimed at those who want to transport bikes with the same confidence they ride with. The carrier is based on the Thule Epos and combines flexible bike mounting with a built-in reversing sensor system.

Fits many different bikes

Thule developed Epos to fit almost any bike, and ParkSecure follows the same approach. The telescopic bike arms with swivelling heads clamp to the frame or rear wheel and adapt to different geometries.

This means the carrier works with bikes that have mudguards or racks. It suits both carbon road bikes and more equipped e-bikes. With 25 cm between bikes, each bike gets more individual space during transport.

The load capacity is up to 30 kg per bike. This ensures even heavier bikes are transported stably and separately from each other.

Assistance when reversing

ParkSecure has four integrated sensors that activate automatically when the car is put into reverse. They monitor the area behind the vehicle and help reduce the risk of accidents when reversing.

The system covers bikes with a wheelbase of up to 1,350 mm and 29-inch wheels. A wireless unit in the car provides clear audio and visual warnings when something is behind the vehicle.

The sensors follow ISO 17386, the same safety standard used for car parking sensors. This makes the system easy to understand and use daily.

Convenient for everyday use

The carrier can be folded and tilted, so you can access the boot even with bikes mounted. This makes loading, packing and everyday use easier.

The 3-bike version has integrated transport wheels, which makes it easier to move the carrier at home or when travelling. The design is made to work in many situations, not just while driving.

Thule also offers accessories to complement the solution, including a repair stand, ABUS locks and a foldable loading ramp.
