Adrian and Chris, are two individuals whose passion lies in the great outdoors.  The story of the Grooveliner Ultimate Rack is one of unwavering commitment and boundless dedication.

Grooveliner® was born out of the continuing growth in e-bike usage. The two directors are keen outdoor enthusiasts with many years of experience running successful small businesses and their combination of skills has led to the development of the Grooveliner® Ultimate Rack.

Adrian Howard is a fully qualified physiotherapist with three Masters degrees in rehabilitation and movement sciences and is also a British Cycling mountain biking instructor.

Adrian witnessed the struggles of those hindered by injury and pain first hand who are yearning to embrace the great outdoors. It was in this spark of empathy that a remarkable idea was born.

Chris Ratter is a talented engineer who ran his own automotive business for over thirty years.

Chris enjoys off-road motorsport and is well-known on the circuit as a driver, instructor and 4×4 specialist.

The Grooveliner Ultimate Rack is a testament to their innovation. It eliminates the need for strenuous lifting, allowing individuals of all abilities to transport their bikes and gear effortlessly.

Grooveliner’s ingenious design opens up a world of possibilities. Ski racks, motorcycle racks, service tools, and cargo boxes, are all seamlessly integrated into the journey. The road trips of your dreams are made simple.
