Description

The Thule Lift V16 Manual makes loading bikes onto your motorhome effortless. A hand-operated winch lowers the bike platform by up to 70cm so you can load at a comfortable height — no hoisting, no struggling. Mount it to your rear wall, load your bikes, wind it back up, and you're on your way.

Benefits:
• Lower platform by 70cm for easy ground-level bike loading.
• Fits the rear wall of any motorhome or campervan — no towbar needed.
• Holds two bikes up to 50kg combined — suitable for most e-bikes.
• Manual winch means no electrical wiring or installation complexity.
• Optional 3rd rail kit available for three-bike capacity.
• Keeps your towbar free for other accessories.

Features:
The Lift V16 mounts to the rear wall of your vehicle using adjustable brackets. The manual winch system is smooth and easy to operate — simply release the lock, lower the platform to loading height, secure your bikes, then wind back up and lock in place for travel. The anodised aluminium frame is lightweight yet strong, and the platform design keeps bikes stable at speed. For those who prefer not to deal with 12V wiring, this is the practical alternative to the electric version.

Thule Bike Lift Manual

People are asking

What is the difference between the Thule Lift V16 Manual and the electric version?

The manual version uses a hand-operated winch to raise and lower the bike platform by up to 70cm, while the electric version does this automatically at the push of a button. The manual is more affordable and has no electrical wiring requirements, making it easier to install. Both versions hold the same load and offer the same low-height loading advantage.

Can the Lift V16 carry e-bikes?

Yes. The Lift V16 has a 50kg total load capacity across two bikes, which suits most standard e-bikes. For heavier cargo e-bikes or two large e-bikes combined over 50kg, check the combined weight before purchasing. A 3rd bike rail is also available separately if needed.

Where does the Lift V16 mount — towbar or rear wall?

The Lift V16 mounts to the rear wall of your motorhome or campervan, not a towbar. This keeps your towbar free for other accessories and is ideal for vans and motorhomes without a towbar fitting. Installation brackets are adjustable to suit different vehicle rear profiles.
