Bicycle Cover? Find the Right Size
Do you know the feeling? You have found the design you want - but how do you find the right size? It is exactly the same feeling you can have when you need to find the right size for your new bicycle cover for your bike or motorcycle. But how do you find the right size for your bicycle cover?
Finding the best size for your bicycle cover is usually quite simple - in fact, finding the size of the bike garage you need is almost so simple that you might think something is missing.
Find the size of your bike!You need to find the size of your bike or motorcycle - the 2 most important measurements are the length (A) and width - typically the handlebar width (B), as these are the 2 most important measurements you need when finding the size of your bicycle cover. Most bicycle covers are usually made according to length and width, but you may come across shaped bike garages, where you also need to consider the height (C) at the handlebars as well as both the width (D) and height (E) at the rear. This is typically relevant when you are looking at a shaped bicycle cover and have a basket or top box on the luggage rack. So, get out a tape measure or folding rule and find (A) and (B). The measurements you find do not need to be accurate to the millimetre or centimetre - an approximate measurement is enough.
What about mirrors?If you have mirrors or other equipment that sticks out or upwards, include it when measuring the width or height of your bike and bicycle cover. The more items pointing in different directions, the tighter your bicycle cover will be when fitted - read here how to fit your bike garage - which is why we recommend including your equipment in your overall measurements.
What if I have a basket on the front or rear of my bike?If you have a basket fitted to your bike / e-bike, you need to pay a little extra attention, as some bike garages for regular bicycles are shaped - in that case, choose a large bike garage such as the Bikeparka XL Bicycle Cover, VK E-Bike bicycle cover or VK Re-Cover bike garage, as these bicycle covers are universal and generously sized.
Top box on your motorcycle?Just like with a traditional bicycle, you also need to take your top box into account on your motorcycle or scooter - here it is important that, in addition to measuring the length (A) and width (B), you also measure the width (D) and height at the rear (E), and find a motorcycle cover with room for a top box or top case - we have collected our motorcycle garages with room for a top box here. |   |
