Maypole BC3012 2-Bike Towball Mounted Platform Cycle Carrier

Maypole BC3012 2-Bike Towball Mounted Cycle Carrier – Compact, Tool-Free Transport for Two Bicycles

Designed to Carry Two Bicycles with a 30 kg Load Capacity

The Maypole BC3012 is a neat, platform-style cycle carrier built for transporting up to two bicycles with a combined weight of 30 kg. It is ideal for couples, weekend riders, or anyone who needs a straightforward solution for carrying a pair of bikes without excessive bulk. The platform design holds each bicycle by its wheels and frame, keeping them separated during transit and helping to prevent scratches or damage to paintwork and components.

Adjustable Wheel Cradles for a Wide Range of Tyre Sizes

Sliding adjustable cradles let you quickly reposition each bike to suit its wheelbase and tyre width. The carrier accepts tyre widths up to 65 mm, easily covering everything from slim racing tyres to chunky mountain bike rubber. Wheelbase length adjusts up to 120 cm, so the BC3012 can hold smaller children’s bikes, full-size adults’ hybrids, and 29er mountain bikes with equal security.

Rapid Lock Quick Release Handle for Tool-Free Fitting

Fitting the BC3012 to a standard 50 mm European towball takes just a few seconds and requires no tools. The rapid lock quick release handle clamps onto the towball with a simple push-and-lock action, providing a rigid and rattle-free connection. When the journey is over, releasing the handle allows the carrier to be lifted off just as quickly, making it perfect for occasional use and shared vehicles.

Lockable Arms and Extra Lashing Straps Keep Bikes Doubly Secure

Each bicycle is held against the vertical support bar by an individual lockable arm that can be tightened by hand and secured with a key. This deters casual theft while the carrier is left attached to the car. Maypole also include extra lashing straps that loop around wheels and the carrier frame, adding a second layer of stability to prevent any movement on uneven roads or during sudden braking.

Tilting Mechanism Provides Instant Boot Access

A straightforward tilt function allows the rear of the carrier to drop away from the vehicle, leaving the tailgate or boot completely clear. You can access luggage, the spare wheel, or let pets out without needing to unload the bicycles or remove the whole carrier. The mechanism is easy to operate by one person, saving time and effort during multi-stop trips.

UK-Specification Lighting with 13-Pin and 7-Pin Compatibility

The carrier features a full set of UK-specification rear lights including tail, brake, indicator, and fog lamps, ensuring your vehicle remains road-legal even when the rack is fully loaded. The lighting system terminates in a 13-pin plug, and a 13-pin to 7-pin adaptor is supplied in the box, so the BC3012 is compatible with both modern and older towbar electrics straight out of the box.

Foldable Design for Tidy Storage

When not in use, the BC3012 folds into a compact, space-saving shape that fits comfortably in a garage, shed, or large car boot. Weighing just 16 kg, the folded carrier is manageable for one person to lift and store, making it a practical choice where storage space is at a premium.

TUV-Approved Build Quality and Weather Resistance

The BC3012 has been independently tested and approved by TUV, so you can be confident it meets strict European safety and quality standards. The steel frame is protected with a durable, corrosion-resistant finish that stands up to repeated exposure to rain, road salt, and UV light, giving you a carrier that will last for many seasons of regular use.
