About this tool
Enter the rack's published specifications and your car's limits (tow-ball nose weight, roof load and tow-bar type) plus the bikes you want to carry. The checker confirms the total weight against every limit, flags e-bikes and wheel sizes that do not suit some racks, and reminds you about UK rules on lights and number plates. It cannot confirm that a rack fits your exact car model: always check the rack manufacturer's vehicle list or fitting guide.
