Needed. this for our Hollywood rack and it works perfect.



by:

Happy with the bike frame adapter bar. Secures my ebike to the bike rack. Transporting ebike allows us to explore new areas.



by:

A must have for step through Ebikes! Easy on and easy off and secures the bikes to the rack



by:

works good but really haven't had to use it with the bike rack



by:

Worked great for my step through ebike with the Hollywood Sport Rider SE dual bike rack.



by:

Excellent solution to a problem I have had for some time and this bar provides a simple way to load an unusual bike. The photo shows the first attempt and the front tire does not have enough clearance so I bungee cord the front to raise it. Unfortunately the photo I took will not upload. Excellent product and with a little thinking I am able to use it.



by:

spendy but needed to strap down step through bikes, love the quality of hollywood gear



by:

I live in NYC and like to get out and mountain bike about 3 to 4 times a week. I was skeptical about tire racks being a suitable option for hauling a dual suspension MTN bike with 27+ tires ,however Since my Jeep is parked in a parking garage a hitch rack would be a nuisance and roof racks are a hassle to install on a 2020 Jeep Wrangler, so I decided a tire rack was worth a shot. This rack completely exceeded my expectations. First the installation takes minutes. Even though it does not bolt on to the spare frame, It is by no means a flimsy rear wheel rack. It is a burly ultra secure big trail bike hauling mountain bike rack and doesn’t block the rear camera view when not in use. With the extension bar the bike fits securely and comfortably on the arms. The extra straps completely secure the frame so it doesn’t wobble on the road and evenly distributes the weight so there is hardly any pressure on the head tube and seat post. I highly recommend this rack for a hassle free strong and sturdy mountain bike rack that will protect your high performance trail bike with confidence.



by:

Fit my RadRunner 2 Electric Utility bike perfectly. It is very sturdy and the fit and finish of the clips on both ends is great. The adjustable length of the bar works very smoothly.



by:

Needed a platform style rack for heavy E-bike that is a step through model with fenders. This severely limited the choice of racks. Found one that said it would work and it did but because the center support grabbed the frame so low, it wobbled quite a bit and rubbed against the chain guard. This adapter bar solved the problem. Ordinarily the bike hangs from this type device so rubbing on the painted frame isn't an issue but in my use It is being pushed down by the center clamp and rode over the seat post onto the frame.. I solved this with a white spacer ring I made (see picture) so the adapter bar couldn't ride down and rub the frame.
It's a very solid nicely made piece of equipment. probably overkill for my use



by:

This adapter bar is just what you need for e-bikes that don't have a top bar of their own. Quickly connects to the bike, then the bike can be correctly stored on the bike rack.

@BrianH We're glad you're happy with it!


by:

The frame adapter works great. It is so much easier to secure the bike on the rack. You don’t have to line the bikes seatpost to the clamp n the rack.



by:

I received our bike frame adapters and am using them both for our Pedego ebikes. My only issue is there is no protection; rubber surface, to protect the bikes. I added foam door seal, which came off after the first trip, so I will attempt to attach more with Super Glue.

I usually recommend item # SR0500 because it is a good price and also has rubber coating.



by:

Works great. I didn’t realize I only needed it for the step through bike so didn’t need to order two! Wish this would have been clarified when I inquired about the bar before purchase.



by:

This company is terrible and a ripoff (ETRAILER) buy this from AMAZON.



by:

This bike rack adapter is great. Very heavily well-built and will do exactly that for which it has made. I would have given it five stars except the way it has made the adapter bar slides in and out (so that it can be adjusted to fit to different lengths). There is no way to lock the bar length in place. And on both ends where the bar attaches to your bike, at the bar end there needs to be some sort of padding so not to scratch the bike while racked.



by:

Great product.
Keeps the woman's bike
straight on the rack.
The locks are tight and hold the handlebars and the saddle in place.
Solidly build. Every time we go on a bike trip, I put it on my wife's bike.
Bicycle racks do not take women's bikes in account so this bar is the best alternative out there.



by:

Great products. Well made and fully assembled. Good communication and products arrived very quickly. Appreciated all the information on the website. It gave me the confidence that it would fit my vehicle.
I mounted the bike rack on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with back up camera with no issue. There is a tight clearance between the spare tire, and 3rd brake light but I was able to install it with the tire cover in tact. Going forward will probably put small spacers on the back of the tire mount for an extra fraction of inch clearance.
Also, the adapter was needed to level out the women bike on the rack.



by:

Fit great on our Magicycle Ocelots and our Hollywood rack.
Great price and fast shipping.



by:

These bike bars serve there purpose as far as holding the bikes down on the bike rack, only thing is that sometimes they get stuck trying to get around the post, but overall would purchase again if needed



by:

Easy to use and because it hangs on the tire can carry the weight of my electric bike.
Very efficient and courteous service and quick shipping.



by:

Works well. No issues with holding bike in place. Have used for 4500 miles with bikes on rack behind fifth wheel. Need to wrap cloth around ends so doesn't rub paint off of bicycle. One improvement I would like to see is to be able to lock in place once you have the length set for the bike

No changes from original review. Over 15,000 miles and no issues. Would like to see something for the ends so wouldnt have to wrap to protect paint on bike.



by:

Very well put together. Easy to install. I installed this on two different models of step thru ebikes and worked great. We decided to use one as a permanent part to a step-thru Blix Aveney ebike as it now doesn’t look like a woman’s bike for my guy to ride. These work well for support on our bike carrier.



by:

Works great with our two Rad power electric bikes. They are heavy but fit like a glove in the rack. A great way to transport our bikes for a fun day riding on the inter urban trails in Bellingham.



by:

it was easy to put on the bike,and fit perfectly on the bike rack.

  • Bike Rack Recommendations for 2 Hitch Receiver and 72 lb Step-Thru E-Bikes
    Thank you for the details! For your application I recommend checking out the Kuat Piston Pro X # KU98VR which can carry up to 67 lb bikes with a 5" wide tire and you can add a ramp with the part # KU63VR. This will work if you're able to remove the battery from your e-bikes (which will reduce the weight of your bikes) and they don't have front and rear fenders. If your e-bikes have fenders then you'll need the Yakima OnRamp # Y88DJ and an Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO instead. This rack can...

  • Will The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE HLY84FR Work With Lectric 3.0 Step Thru Bikes?
    In order to use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR with your Lectric Step Thru Bikes, you likely will need to use an adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. This way the hooks will have something to connect to. Otherwise the hooks would not go low enough to connect to the step thru frame. If I may make a suggestion, the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR will work nicely for your Lectric step thru bikes without the need for an adapter bar. The clamps on this rack can attach to any part of the...

  • Best Bike Rack For Aventon Adventure Step-Thru EBike
    Your Aventon Adventure step-thru ebike weighs 73 lbs, and for a bike that heavy, the best option (and the only one able to handle the weight of your bike) is from Hollywood Racks: - Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR The # HLY84FR has an 80 lb per-bike weight capacity so it'll handle your heavy Aventon bike, and has a number of quality-of-life features, including an easy-to-use anti-rattle handle.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for Adventon Adventure Step Thru Bikes
    Depending on what type of hitch receiver you have there are two options available for your Aventon Adventure Step Thru bike. If you have a class III hitch with a 2" receiver, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack item # HLY84FR. This rack can handle up to 80 lbs bikes with a 5" tire width. The only other thing you'll need is an adapter bar like item # HRBA-PRO since you have step through frames. If you have a 1-1/4" class 1 or class II hitch receiver you will need...

  • Recommended E-Bike Rack For Two 50lb E-Bikes With A 50" Wheelbase
    Hi Bill, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR. This bike rack has an 80lb per bike capacity so it'll be able to easily handle your 50lb and 48lb e-bikes. The wheel cradles can handle tires up to 5" wide and a wheelbase up to 60". The ratcheting hooks secure your bikes by the frame and have built-in locks to help prevent theft. If you have an alternative frame and the hooks wouldn't grip the frame correctly then you can use an adapter...

  • Compatibility of Swagman Titan 2 Bike Carrier # S63400 with Class A Motorhome
    According to my Swagman representative, the Swagman Titan 2 Bike Rack, part # S63400 will be compatible with your Class A motorhome, as long as the weight of the bikes remains within the 35 lb per-bike weight capacity. However, Swagman racks cannot be used on the rear of a towed trailer of any kind. To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # HRBA-PRO is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat...

  • Recommended 4 Bike Rack For 2017 Honda Pilot And 2011 Honda Odyssey
    The first thing we will look at is clearance from center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the outermost bumper. The Curt # C13146 has a 5 inch clearance measurement on your Pilot. The measurement on your Odyssey with the # 75270 is 6-1/2 inches. The Hollywood Racks Road Runner 4 Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches - Tilting # HR400 will work well to carry your 4 bikes including the new fat bike. The distance from center of hitch pin hole to back of upright bar is 10-1/2 inches so you...

  • Will Hollywood Racks HR1400Z-FB 4-Bike Rack Carry 4 E-Bikes With Fat Tires
    The # HR1400Z-FB will accommodate bikes of that size and shape, if an adapter bar like # HRBA-PRO is used for the step through framed bike, but you'll need to find out if the weight of the bikes would be a problem. I saw several weights mentioned online for the Aventon Aventure, and didn't see what the battery packs weigh. The # HR1400Z-FB can accommodate 4 bikes weighing up to 50 lbs each, so if your bikes weigh less than that, or if removing the battery packs will place the weight of...

  • Recommended Bike Rack To Carry 2 Lectric Fat Tire e-Bikes on Jeep
    Lectric Bikes is right on the money. My go-to recommendation is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE, part # HLY84FR. The rack can handle 2 bikes weighing up to 80 lbs each with tires up to 5 inches in width. To determine if the rack will work on your Jeep, you'll need to find the hitch pin hole in your hitch receiver tube. Measure from the center of the hole rearward until you clear either the furthest rearward point of the back bumper or the furthest rearward edge of the spare tire (if...

  • Trunk-Mounted 2 Bike Carrier For 2013 Mini Countryman

This allows you to safely transport 2 bikes and has a weight capacity of 35lbs per bike. Your vehicle's paint will be protected by the foam pads on the rack. This rack is made of sturdy steel construction with black coat finish that will be sure to prevent rust and corrosion. While this bike rack reduces the need...

  • Recommended Platform Bike Rack for Two 52 lb Electric Bikes on a 2016 Subaru Forester

If you want to stay with the Hollywood Racks brand, they have the Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR which is made to carry electric bikes. This is a folding bike rack that will fit in a 2 inch hitch receiver, has a weight capacity of 80 lbs per bike, and also...

It can carry any road bike, mountain bike, hybrid, fat tire or electric bike. There are some things you need to take into account. Make sure that the wheelbase is no more than 60 inches. Measure this from the bottom of your front tire where it touches the ground to the same spot on your back tire. Make sure that your bikes do not weight more than 80 lbs each....

    The padded ratcheting hooks on the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY74FR that you were looking at can slide up and down the length of the vertical mast, so they should be able to grab onto the frame of a step-thru bike like yours. With that being said if the step-thru is more dramatic than most you may just need to add an adapter bar like # HRBA-PRO to create a horizontal attachment point for a secure connection.
