Can the Compass Cart carry a bicycle or e-bike?

Yes. The Compass Cart System includes an optional Bike Arm accessory specifically engineered to carry bicycles and e-bikes. The bike arm is constructed from 1x2-inch aluminum tubing — the same high-strength material as the cart body — designed for serious off-road and backwoods use where trails get rough and conditions turn harsh. The aluminum construction provides exceptional strength while keeping weight low.

How does the Compass Cart bike arm attach?

The Compass Cart Bike Arm mounts using the stake pocket and accessory system built into the cart. It is designed for quick setup and removal so you can configure your cart for biking trips and reconfigure it for other activities without tools. For step-by-step installation instructions, visit the Instructional and Assembly page at CompassCarts.com.

Can I haul bike gear alongside the bike on the Compass Cart?

Yes. The Compass Cart lets you transport both your bike using the Bike Arm accessory and your trail gear in the cart body simultaneously. Pack your helmet, hydration pack, repair kit, and food into the cart, mount your bike on the arm, load the entire assembly onto your hitch rack, and drive to the trailhead. When you arrive, your bike and all your gear are staged and ready — no repacking from the truck.

Is the Compass Cart compatible with e-bikes?

Yes. The Compass Cart Bike Arm is engineered to handle the additional weight of electric bikes, which typically weigh between 40 and 80 pounds depending on the model. The 1x2-inch aluminum tubing construction is specifically chosen for its strength-to-weight performance under demanding conditions. Contact support@compasscarts.com with questions about compatibility with your specific e-bike model.

What is the best hitch cart system for cyclists and e-bike riders?

For cyclists who need to transport both their bike and trail gear, the Compass Cart System offers a unique advantage over standard bike racks. Where a standard bike rack only carries the bike and requires separate storage for gear, the Compass Cart lets you fill the cart with all your trail gear, mount your bike on the arm, slide the whole loaded system onto your hitch, and arrive at the trailhead ready to ride immediately — no staging, no multiple trips from the car.

Can the Compass Cart be used with an ATV alongside a bike?

Yes. The Compass Cart System is compatible with ATV and side-by-side hitch receivers in addition to trucks and SUVs. The optional ATV Arm accessory allows you to mount an ATV directly to the system. This makes the Compass Cart ideal for mixed adventure trips where you may need to transport both a bike and ATV gear to a remote trailhead.
