Mixed...
The VeloCompact looks great and with the light panel included its a safer option for caring bikes. However, we just went on a family holiday driving from Canberra to Brisbane and back and found that the bikes move in two ways. The stabilising bar folds no matter how tightly the bikes are attached and the stabilising bar is tensioned. We ultimately had to tie the bar to our tow bar with an Octopus Strap to prevent this from happening. The second way the carrier moves is on the towball. After a while the the carrier will slowly start moving side to side on the ball. I had to stop and re-tension the carrier 3 times on the way back from Brisbane. This meant completely unloading and reloading the bikes on the trailer. Its a bit of a hassle... Lastly, its worth pointing out that most of the fittings on the carrier are plastic... I was always worried that Id over tighten something and it would break. Also, the lever mechanism that attaches the carrier to the tow ball is not strong either, I was worried it would break if overtightened. I think the model below this one has a better system for this tensioning. Overall, I can't recommend this for travelling long distances or off road, but it would be fine around town.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great buy
I have had the Thule bike carrier for two months and I have found that it is very well made and easy to install on your tow ball. It is very heavy, however. I made a wooden frame on wheels to move it around the garage when I need to install it on the tow ball. I purchased the three bike rack option (BA 927-3) to accommodate two MTBikes as this gives just enough room to prevent the bikes from rubbing on each other. The wiring harness could get in the way and be damaged if you are not careful, but this is a minor issue. The number plate plastic mounts are obviously not designed for Australian sized number plates which is a shame. The plastic mounting tabs cannot be used with these plates so I had to use tie wire instead. Again, a minor issue. The ability to add a fourth bike setup is a nice option. Overall, expensive but I don't think I'll be disappointed in the long run.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent
Great product but watch out if you are putting it on a van I nearly had a handle bar smash through the back window going over a speed bump. Make sure you turn the handle bars on the first bike parallel with the frame. Just travelled 2000kms with 3 full size mountain bikes on it for a first trip. Cannot complain.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
