While many electric vehicle (EV) owners tend to purchase their cars for the ride comfort and convenient features, some actually do care about their contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A group that typically also cares about the environment in the same way is cyclists. Many serious bikers I know also own an EV or are seriously considering getting one. If you happen to own a Tesla and enjoy cycling, then you’ll want to grab a bike rack to make things easier. Continue reading for reasons why you should get a bike rack for your Tesla Model 3 or Model Y.

Top Reasons to Get a Bike Rack

If you’ve been cruising the streets of your local neighbourhood for a while now and are looking to take your cycling hobby to the next level, then a good quality bike rack can help you. Here are some of the many benefits of getting one:

1. Bike Anywhere: Having a bike rack opens your ability to cycle anywhere you can drive. Whether you’re on a trip and want to explore the local area, or you want to test some new trails in a neighbouring location, a bike rack helps you achieve both.
2. Money Savings: If you like to cycle wherever you go but can’t fit a bike in your car, then you’ll be forced to rent one. Over a prolonged period, this can get costly. However, if you invest one time in a bike rack, your cycle becomes mobile! Therefore, you can expect to save money in the long run.
3. Exercise: Oftentimes if you’re going somewhere and can’t take your bike, you miss out on the health benefits of riding one. However, if you’re able to bring it along, you have no excuse to not go for a ride.
4. Comfort: By bringing your own cycle, you always have the same comfort and familiarity wherever you go.
5. Cargo Space: If you’re able to normally cram your bike into your Tesla somehow, you know how much room that occupies. By placing your cycle on the roof, you clear up space and also keep the interior of your vehicle cleaner, as bikes can get quite dirty.
