Atera Genio Pro tow ball bike carrier

Genio Pro, Foldable Extendable Clean

Level of innovation
Atera Genio PRO, with its unique folding mechanism, perfected the compact carrier for a safe bike transport. The innovation persists in the rotation of the lateral wings. When they get folded together, they turn inwards, protect the lights and turn the clean side of the wings outwards. The carrier can be extended although it is foldable.
An additional bike rail can be attached and secured with large wing screws without any tools.

Functionality
The complete construction is future-oriented and universally designed for different bike/E-bike sizes and widths. The new Plug & Drive fast fitting is the most comfortable and safest mounting on the tow ball. The sidely underride protection serves as a carrying handle and a suspension for the drive-up rail. The carrier is TÜV-verified, has ECE type approval and exceeds all legal requirements of safety and stability.

Design
The arched platform stabilises the bikes during transport and forms, together with the large clear glass rear lights, a homogeneous continuation of the car design. The colour scheme is defined as anodized aluminium and matt black and underlines the stringent design.

Material
Matt anodized aluminium with matt black, fibreglass-reinforced plastic.

Quality of workmanship
The carrier is designed for durability despite the impacts of weather, road conditions and heavy e-bikes. It has been tested under extreme conditions and climatic tests.

Technology

Frame Protection
Also the protection of the bike frame is an important matter for Atera. Dents and scratches are often the result of non-professional fixing solutions and / or the use of cheap, hard materials, which are not appropriate to absorb high forces. Atera is doing more to protect valuable bikes: The lockable Strada distance holders can be swiveled and turned in each direction. For the theft protection, the ratchet straps are enforced with a steel core while the bike frame itself is held soflly and secure by soft rubber cushions.
Even the ratchet system itself is equipped with an overload protection: The desired tension is reached by using the ratchet - when the tension exceeds the desired level, the ratchet band automatically jumps to the next tooth. The optimal tension remains and is secured when the ratchet lever is locked. Consequently, it is impossible to crush the bike frame.
