Tie-down straps
Elastic strap for fastening
A tie-down strap keeps your cover in place when it is windy. With a tie-down strap or elastic strap under or around the vehicle, the wind cannot lift the cover, and it wears less because it does not flap. This applies to bike covers, cargo bike covers and motorcycle covers.
Tie-down straps in 2.5 m and 5 m
Our tie-down straps are 25 mm wide and available in two lengths. The short 2.5 m version typically fits a single bike or a motorcycle cover. The long 5 m version provides room when the strap needs to go around a cargo bike, multiple bikes or a larger vehicle.
Elastic strap for quick fastening
An elastic strap is quick to put on and take off in everyday use. It is ideal if you use your bike every day and want to quickly take the cover off and put it on.
How to secure the cover against wind
Thread the strap through any eyelets or buckles in the cover and under the bike between the wheels, and tighten it so the cover fits snugly without pressing against the handlebars and mudguards. Read more in the guide How does wind affect a cargo bike cover and in How to fit your bike garage.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a tie-down strap for my cover?
If the bike is parked outside in an exposed location, we recommend it. Even a cover with elastic at the bottom can blow off in strong wind.
Which length should I choose?
Choose 2.5 m for a single bike or motorcycle and 5 m for cargo bikes, multiple bikes or larger vehicles.
Can I use the tie-down strap together with a lock?
Yes. The strap keeps the cover in place, while the lock secures the bike. The two can easily be used together.
