Engineered for Safety
Our custom carrier is designed to leverage the unique, inherent geometry of a front-loader cargo bike. Because a front-loader already features an exceptionally low Centre of Gravity (CoG) and a remarkably wide kickstand stance, the bike itself provides the ideal stabilising platform.
Our carrier simply follows this blueprint. It acts as a structural bridge, attaching to the bike's native wide tripod points (the two kickstand legs and the rear wheel) and transferring those loads directly down into the vehicle's roof rack, securing the bike against extreme dynamic forces.

Can you use it on a small car like a VW polo?
Can you use it on a small car like a VW polo?
Regarding the VW Polo, there should be no issue using the Explorer. Most Polos have a dynamic roof load limit of 60kg (though I recommend double-checking the manual or Google for your specific model year). If your roof rack has a load limit of 60kg or greater, your total capacity will be 60kg. See here for more details on roof load limits.
It is essential to stay below these limits for safety. For reference, the bike is stripped down with the Explorer attached.:
- Load4 75: Approx. 40kg
- Bullitt: Approx. 33kg.
Are cargo bikes too heavy to transport by car?
Are cargo bikes too heavy to transport by car?
Transporting a cargo bike is traditionally difficult due to weight and length, often requiring a van or trailer. However, BikeCarGo offers the Explorer, a specialized roof-mounted carrier engineered specifically for heavy front-loaders. This allows owners of Riese & Müller, Bullitt, and similar models to securely transport their bikes on standard vehicle roof racks without exceeding weight limits.
