Great Value In a Bike Rack
Bill H. from Chichester, NH.
If you want an excellent performing bike rack and don't mind not having one of the "obvious big names" one begins with Y the other with TH, then look no further. This rack is made very well and has all of the features you expect in the expensive name brands including the tilt feature for access to a hatchback. Highly recommended!

Works great @ a great price

Easy to use, easy to install & a great price. Folding is a nice convenience if you have a tailgate as I do on the mini van. A singe arm support easilly holds kids 20" bikes whereas I've had problems w/dual-arm models being narrow enough to hold a small-frame bike.

As long as you don't mind not being able to fold the arms down, this rack is excellent value. It is solidly built, fits snugly in the hitch with the anti-rattle pin (included), and holds 4 bikes securely. The arm does stick out a ways beyond the back of the vehicle so be careful backing etc.

Great rack, SOLID
Rob G. from Kingstowne
Just put this on my minivan along with an draw tite hitch. The bikes are held in tight with the velcro straps and the anti-rattle pin holds the rack tight to the hitch so sway is minimal and the bikes are very secure. As long as you don't need a folding arm, this is the rack to buy for 4 bikes.

good for mens bikes...
MikeyM from Great Neck, NY
I really like this product and have used it many times. Only one drawback is that the ladies bikes do not really go on easily and you need to use the adaptor bar... but that doesn't alwasy work with every bike.

Rob G. from near Philadelphia, PA
I recently bought and used this rack with four bikes (two 24'', one 26'' and one 27'') and it worked perfectly. We used two of the 'Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapters' which worked really well as well. The rack is solid and made transporting bikes a pleasure. The rack does tilt for opening the hatchback but it does not fold, which is not an issue for my use but could be for others. If you can live without the folding feature, I would highly recommend this one. Also, the Velcro on mine is black (like in the video), not yellow as in the photo. That did not matter to me.

Niel Tan from Farmington, CT
To new for reliability & performance. However paint is slightly on a thin side. Over all Etrailer services on instruction, delivery, and called for follow-up, it is "A+". Fast services, cost benefit and corespondence follow-up, I would say beat U-HAUL, car dealers walk-in-store services.
Recommend Etrail to anyoneon the planet.

Great price, great design, easy to put together. I suggest to assemble it while attached to your car's trailer hitch - makes assembly even easier!
