Velo-Rack bike racks are made for cities, municipalities, educational and government establishments, businesses, buildings, condominiums and individuals.
Galvanized: It is the cheapest finish. It has the advantage that it can not be scratched. However, it tarnishes in the long term and rust tend to settle faster than with other finishes, especially if the bike rack is exposed to salt during winter.
Plastic covered: This finish adds an extra layer of protection on the bike rack, which makes it more durable and softens the surface of the rack. In terms of appearance, this finish gives a semi-gloss plastic look.
Polyester powder coating: This finish adds an extra layer of protection on the bike rack, which makes it more durable. It facilitates the repair of a rack of which the paint has been damaged because you can repair it yourself using a paint can that we can send you. This finish gives a glossy finish for a modern appearance. It is also the only finish that lets you choose the color of the bike rack.

Mechanical assembly provides a uniform layer of paint, which improves the appearance of the finished product. In case of strong impact, a mechanically assembled arch flexes, while a welded arch, for example, breaks at the weld. Thus, mechanical assembly allows to replace only the damaged arch instead of the entire bike rack, enabling significant savings. Mechanical assembly is made with steel/steel rivets, wherein the steel rod remains in the rivet, which ensures high strength equivalent to a welded assembly.
New bike racks that are clean and safe will better integrate the urban landscape and be more used by cyclists than outdated, rusted and damaged racks. Moreover, according to the condition of the bike rack and date of purchase, we offer a discount on the purchase of a new bike rack in exchange for the old one. (applies to Velo-Rack bike racks only)
