Transporting the bike by car
The boot [ trunk ] of your car is ideal for transporting
your bike. This protects your bike against external
influences and dirt. Make sure dirt does not end up
in the boot [ trunk ] of your car. If necessary, place
something under the bike. You can also use an interior
bike rack to secure your bike.
Make sure the bike is not on the drive derailleur or
drive side. This could damage the rear derailleur
among other things. You should also protect your
brake discs against damage. Make sure that the
gear cables or brake cables are not kinked.
If your bike cannot be transported in the boot [ trunk ],
Porsche also offers two systems for roof and trailer
coupling.
When purchasing a bike rack, make sure it complies
with the legal and safety requirements of the country
in which it will be used.
Read the owner’s manual for your bike rack and comply
with the permissible loading capacities and prescribed
maximum speed.
Vehicle load limit, lights and license number.
A load extending above the vehicle and blocking of
the vehicle lights may result in accidents. Only load
the bike rack so that the bike does not protrude from
the side of the vehicle. The vehicle lights and license
number also may not be blocked.
A bike on a bike rack which is not or improperly
secured.
A bike which is not secured or improperly
secured may become loose during transport and
cause serious accidents. Before every trip and during
long trips, check the bike regularly to make sure it is
firmly and properly secured.
Air in the brakes.
Transporting a bike with hydraulic
disc brakes upside down may cause air to enter the
brakes, which may cause them to fail. Do not transport
bikes with hydraulic disc brakes upside down.
Transporting the bike in the vehicle boot without
securing it.
Braking, changing direction or an
accident may cause a bike which is not secured
in the vehicle boot [ trunk ] to shift and endanger
passengers. Never transport the bike in the vehicle
boot [ trunk ] of your car if it is not secured.
Transporting the bike when it is not secured.
When transporting the bike on the vehicle exterior,
parts which are not secured [ tools, saddlebags etc. ]
may become loose and cause accidents when driving.
Secure the loose parts on the bike or remove them
before transporting the bike.
Familiarise yourself with country-specific marking
obligations when transporting a bike.
Invisible damages to the frame.
In particular,
clamping carbon frames may result in invisible damage
which cause components to suddenly fail. The same
applies to Porsche Bike racks. Only use bike racks
with clamps that correspond to your bike frame.
Do not overload the frame when clamping it into place.
Risk of irreparable damage to the frame tube.
Make sure that the bike rack clamps are designed
for clamping large-volume frame tubes.
Risk of damage to the vehicle due to failure to
comply with the total vehicle height with a loaded
bike rack.
Measure the total vehicle height and label it
inside the vehicle for easy reference. Consider the total
vehicle height when entering parking garages, garages,
underground garages and tunnels.
Risk of damage to the bike [ brake, rear fork
and front fork ] when transporting wheels in a
removed state.
Mount the transport guards for the
disc brake. Mount the spacer for the rear fork and
front fork.
Unsuitable bike racks pose a risk of damage
to the handlebars, stem, seat and seat tube.
Do not use bike racks where the bike is mounted up-
side down, that is, with the handlebars and seat facing
down. Do not use any bike racks with braces for the
pedal cranks.
