The warranty period (warranty) is 3 years from the date of purchase (excluding wear parts). Please note the detailed warranty conditions, which are attached to each of our products in writing.

In order to be able to use a towbar bike rack, the towbar must have a minimum towbar load of50 kg and a D-value of at least 5.3 kN.

You can find more information about the maximum load capacity in our catalog (page 20/21) – or at one of our regional specialist dealers.
Please also note: The material of the towbar should have steel grade St52-3 or equivalent. Towbars made of solid aluminium cannot be used.

The D-value describes the strength of the connection between the towbar and the towing vehicle. It is measured in kilonewtons (kN). The D-value of your towbar is usually shown in the related documents - or directly on your towbar.  If in doubt, ask your vehicle manufacturer or garage that retrofitted the towbar.

If the towbar is made entirely of aluminum, the use of an Uebler bicycle carrier is not possible.

If the ball head and the first approx. 3 cm of the towbar neck are made of steel and only the rest is made of aluminum, bike racks from Uebler can be used.

Basically, current vehicles usually have a 13-pin socket. If your vehicle still has a 7-pin socket installed, you will need an additional adapter (intermediate piece) from 7-pin to 13-pin connection. These are available at any well-sorted car accessories dealer.

You will find the information "Maximum wheelbase of the bike" in the technical data of each bike carrier.

The specification refers to the maximum distance between the front and rear axles (hub center) of the bike. You can easily check this indication (cm) on your bike using a tape measure or folding rule.

We have decided for this simple and unambiguous measurement method, because especially with e-bikes (due to the placement of the batteries) the frames are stretched and the inch size is no longer sufficient to give you precise information here.

The minimum size (e.g. children's bike) is 80 cm wheelbase. The maximum size is 130 cm for the i,  X & F series (125 cm for the P series).

Tilting-back Uebler bike carriers offer different opening angles- from 60 to 90 degrees. For "regular" station wagons or SUVs, an opening angle of 60 degrees is usually sufficient. For vehicles with particularly deep-drawn tailgates (e.g. VW T5/T6; MB V-Class), you need an opening angle of at least 90 degrees.

Because bike carriers are not vehicle-specific add-on parts, and especially in vehicles with deep-drawn tailgates, the towbars are often installed at different heights, we recommend that you visit one of our specialist dealers in case of doubt and take a binding test installation there.

The possible viewable discolouration at the bending points on the carrier frame can be traced back to microscopic cracks in the anodised aluminium surface (protective layer with aluminium manufacturing process) of the used aluminium tubing. These occur during the bending process of the aluminium profiles and are unavoidable. However the aluminium is not damaged or affected by this.

You can wipe away this discolouration easily using a cloth and a few drops of oil.

The installation of the reversing warning system requires an intervention in the wiring harness of the lights to connect the system. This alteration cannot be done retrospectively.

In addition, the retrofit requires the later insertion of holes and rivets in the carrier flap to attach the radio transmitter. The drilling and riveting cannot be done retrospectively.

Also the positioning and attachment of the sensors in the license plate holder cannot be adjusted afterwards.

No.

In a 7-pin E-set, there is no connection for the reversing light.
This means that a DC version cannot be used on this vehicle.
