FAQs
Is this cover suitable for electric bikes?
Yes, the cover is designed for all bicycle styles, including electric bikes, provided they fit within the dimensions of a standard bike rack and the cover's capacity.
What does 'tested to ASTM G-154 standards' mean?
This standard relates to the resistance of materials to weathering, specifically UV exposure. It indicates the cover has undergone testing to ensure its colorfastness and material integrity when exposed to ultraviolet light.
Do I need to remove the bikes to put the cover on?
No, the cover is designed to go over the bikes while they are on the rack. The side zippers allow for easy access once the cover is in place.
What is the material of the cover?
The cover is made from tough 300 denier material with a weatherproof Poly Acrylic Coating.
Can this cover be used on a car's bike rack?
This specific model is designed for motorhomes and the associated bike racks. It is not recommended for use on car bike racks.
Does the cover come with a warning sign?
No, the cover includes a clear pocket for a warning sign, but the sign itself is not included and must be purchased separately if required.
How should I clean the cover?
Clean the cover with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.
Troubleshooting
Cover does not fit snugly
Ensure the compression straps are tightened evenly on both sides. Check that the cover is oriented correctly and fully encompassing the bikes and rack.
Water seeping through the material
While designed to be waterproof, prolonged heavy rain or damage to the coating may allow some seepage. Ensure the cover is correctly installed and check for any tears or damage.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth if needed. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Material seems to be fading
Although UV resistant, extreme and prolonged exposure can cause some fading. Ensure the cover is stored when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
