No more confusion! BICYCOVER Bicycle Cover Selection Guide (with flowchart explanation)

Introduction

A bicycle cover that protects your bicycle from rain and dust.

BICYCOVER offers covers for all sizes of bicycles, from large electric bicycles with child seats to small children's bicycles. .

However, many people may be unsure about which size to choose for their bike. In fact, there have been reported cases where choosing the wrong size cover has led to failures such as "the bike won't fit in the cover" or "the bottom of the cover is too long and rubs against the ground, causing it to tear." .

In this article, we will explain in an easy-to-understand manner how to choose the cover size, following the flowchart published by BICYCOVER that depends on the type of car and whether or not the car has a child seat.

After reading this, you're sure to find the perfect cover for your bike.

Tips for choosing a cover - Check the flow chart

This is the official BICYCOVER bicycle cover selection flowchart.

It may seem like a lot of information at first glance, but don't worry. By simply answering questions with a "yes" or "no" you can easily find out which size cover is right for your bike.

So let's check it out step by step according to this flowchart!

 

The first thing to consider is whether the bicycle has a child seat.

For example, if a mother asks you, "My bike has a child seat on the back. Which cover should I get?", don't hesitate to choose the larger size.

The large size cover is spacious enough to completely encase the rear child seat. .

This large cover can also easily accommodate a child-carrying bicycle, which is an electrically assisted bicycle with a child seat attached.

 

The next thing to look out for is whether or not the bike has a large basket on the back.

If you're wondering, "I don't have a child seat, but I have a large rear basket for luggage...what size is my bike?", the answer is also the same - a large size is a safe bet.

Although not as large as a child seat, bicycles with rear baskets tend to be a little longer and taller. The larger size of the BICYCOVER is designed to accommodate such bicycles with rear baskets, so it can be easily covered. .

Although it is a large size, the fit can be adjusted using the drawstrings at the front and back, and it is designed to prevent the cover from becoming baggy or the hem from touching the ground.

 

So what about "bicycles that have neither a child seat nor a rear basket"? In this case, the classification is based on the type of bicycle itself.

For general city bikes (mamachari) and sports bikes such as cross bikes and road bikes, the standard adult bike size is appropriate. .

For example, this adult bicycle size can cover almost all 27-inch mamachari bicycles, electric assist bicycles (without rear baskets), and road bikes for commuting.

Although small-diameter bicycles (minivelo) may look compact, they are bicycles for adults, so please choose the same adult bicycle size. .

 

Finally, check whether the bike is for children.

If the bicycle is not suitable for adults and has a wheel size of 20 inches or less, choose the children's bicycle size without hesitation. .

For example, this children's size will fit perfectly on a 16-inch bicycle with training wheels or a bicycle for children up to the early elementary school age.

*As mentioned above, please note that mini velos (small-diameter adult bicycles) are adult size, not children's size. .

 

(Note: All sizes of the new BICYCOVER model covers are equipped with front and back drawcords, which can be tightened and adjusted even if there is a little room, making it less likely for the hem to touch the ground. If you're unsure about which size to choose, you can choose a larger size as it can be adjusted.

BICYCOVER available in three sizes

As mentioned above, BICYCOVER bicycle covers come in three sizes: "large size , " "adult bicycle size," and "children's bicycle size." .

Here's a summary of what bikes each size is suitable for:

  • Large size - Suitable for bicycles with child seats or rear baskets. Choose this size for electric bicycles or mamachari bikes equipped with a child seat or large basket on the rear. .

  • Adult bicycle size - Suitable for general adult bicycles. This standard size can accommodate city bikes, sports bikes, and mini velos that do not have a large basket on the rear. .

  • Children's bicycle size - This is a small size for children's bicycles. As a guide, it is suitable for toddler and children's bicycles of 20 inches or less. (For small-diameter adult bicycles such as mini velos, please choose the adult size instead of the children's size.) .

summary

We've introduced some key points for choosing the right size bike cover. Have you got an idea of ​​the best cover size for your bike?

If you're still worried about choosing the size yourself, don't worry. If the size doesn't fit, BICYCOVER will cover the cost of exchanging it, so you can buy with peace of mind. .
