Do you have a question about this Hitch Bike Racks?

• Do You Carry any Towing Bike Rack with 5 Bike Capacity
  
• Unfortunately, we do not currently offer a towing bike rack that will hold 5 bikes. We do offer the SportRack Escape Towing Bike Rack, part # A30404TW200 which will hold 4 bikes. When Using a Towing Bike Rack, you will need to ensure that the tongue weight of the trailer and the weight of the rack plus the bikes on it does not exceed the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on your vehicle. Given that the average bike weighs 30 pounds and most racks weigh around 40 to 50 pounds when fully l

• What is the Towing Capacity of Sport Rack Towing Rack A30404TW200
  
• The towing capacity is 2,000 pounds with a 200 pound tongue weight. Remember to check the towing capacities of your hitch. I think a better solution would be using a part like Curt # D210 and Sport Rack part # A30404. This will not reduce the towing capacity like the Sport Rack towing rack. You will use your hitch or vehicle towing capacity, whichever is lower. Remember the combined weight of the bike rack and bikes counts towards your tongue weight.

• Does the Tongue Weight Rating for Bike Rack A30404TW200 Include the Weight of the Bikes
  
• Yes, the weight of the bike rack and the weight of your bikes would count toward the tongue weight. If you would need more tongue weight capacity for your particular application, you might try a dual-purpose ballmount like part # D210, and simply use the non-towing version of the same bike rack, part # A30404. The weight of bike rack and bikes would still count toward the tongue weight, but the # D210 adapter has a higher tongue weight rating of 350 pounds. You would still need to

• Distance Between the Arms on the SportRack Escape 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Towing Bike Rack
  
• The SportRack Escape 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Towing Rack, # A30404TW200, measures 11-3/4 inches between the two arms and 14-1/2 inches from the outside of one arm to the outside of the other arm. So the distance from the center of one arm to the center of the other arm is 13-1/8 inches. If you need a towing 4 bike rack that will accommodate a childrens bike with a 10 to 12 inch frame opening, I recommend a single arm rack. We have several in this category. I have included a link to them

• Compatability of a 4 Bike Towing Rack for Use On a 2003 Lincoln Aviator Towing a Yamaha WaveRaider
  
• I would not recommend using an adapter (see link) to install the SportRack Escape 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Towing Rack, item # A30404TW200. Hitch adapters cut your weight capacity by half. For example if you have a 350 pound tongue weight hitch, the adapter bar will cut it down to 175 pounds. After this reduction you would have a hard time carrying bikes and towing while remaining within the limits of the vehicle, hitch and bike rack tongue weight capacities. If you would like to let me k

• Comparision Of The SportRack Escape 4 Bike w/ Towing # A30404TW200 and Swagman 4 Bike # S63390
  
• Both the SportRack Escape 4 Bike Rack, part # A30404TW200, and the Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike Carrier, part # S63390, would be good options for a bike rack and to tow. Both bike racks feature anti-sway cradles to keep your bikes in place when being carried. I would recommend the Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike Carrier, as it has a larger tongue weight and towing capacity, in the event you want to tow a larger trailer. You will want to measure to determine if you will have clearance from the bikes t
