Transporting bikes – especially heavy e-bikes – places high demands on stability, safety and ease of use. This is exactly where the Alioth bike carrier range from the Italian manufacturer F.lli Menabò comes in.
The Alioth range has been specifically designed for mounting on a towbar and is aimed at users who value a high load capacity, simple handling and tested safety.
The Alioth range at a glance
The Alioth product family consists of two models. They differ in the number of bikes they can carry, while both are based on the same stable technical platform:
- Alioth 2 – for transporting up to two bikes
- Alioth 3 – for transporting up to three bikes
Both versions are suitable for e-bikes, trekking bikes, mountain bikes and fat bikes, and offer a maximum total load capacity of 60 kg.
Why Alioth bike carriers are particularly suitable for e-bikes
Modern e-bikes are considerably heavier than conventional bicycles. Alioth carriers have been designed precisely for this type of use:
- stable steel and aluminium construction
- extra-wide wheel rails for wider tyres
- secure fastening, even for heavier bike frames
- City Crash tested in accordance with EU standard 94/20/CE
This makes the carriers suitable not only for holidays, but also for regular everyday use.
Comfortable handling and well-designed technology
Quick mounting on the towbar
All Alioth bike carriers are attached to the towbar using the integrated Rapid-Lock system. Installation is tool-free and supported by a visual safety indicator, which confirms that the carrier is correctly secured.
Foot-operated tilting function
Another major advantage is the foot-operated tilting mechanism:
- tilting possible even with bikes mounted
- easy access to the boot
- automatic locking when folded back into position
This function is especially useful when travelling or when loading and unloading frequently.
