These did not work well on my ebikes and I send them back for a refund. When used in combination with a lock, they make removing the bikes pretty easy.



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

Thats great! I love this gadget - solves the complicated problem of ununiform bikes pretty easily, doesnt it?



by:

Did the job for allowing securing bike to the rack



by:

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



by:

Easy to use on certain circumstances where the rack won’t hold bikes. We have Aventons that we had issues securing to the rack, The adaptor solved the issue.



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.

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:

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:

Easy to use. Works pefrctly.



by:

Used for step through bikes.



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:

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 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:

Really well built.
Easy to assemble
too.
Haven't received the adapter bars yet,they're probably just a day behind.
You're a great company to do business with.



by:

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

still sturdy and working great.best investment i made,at a reasonable price.



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:

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:

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



by:

Functioned as advertised and fit easily around my women's 1975 step-through Schwinn. The product has a real no-brainer design that is secure. I have no reason to question its ability to hold my bike on the rack regardless of road condition or reasonable driving speed.



by:

appears to be a well-built thought-out design. I will follow up with a review after usage.



by:

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



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:

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:

simple, solid - does what I need it to

  • Can the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack Be Used with Step Through Bikes
    We have a solution for you either way but the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR may or may not work with your particular step through bikes. There are different styles of step through bikes and depending on how low the step through is, the ratcheting arm on the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR may go down low enough to secure the bike or it may be a little short. However, if the ratcheting arm does not go down low enough on your particular bike we do...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for Electric Step Thru Bikes
    Hey Anthony thanks for stopping by! The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR will work fine with your step thru bikes, but you're also going to need an adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. If you're not sold on the Sport Rider SE, then I'd suggest going with the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR. This rack is very similar to the SportRider SE but does not require the adapter bar for step thru bikes. Both racks can handle the exact same size bikes, so whichever you choose you'll be set! If there...

  • Is Adapter Needed with Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for Step-Thru Frames
    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.

  • Best Bike Rack for E-Bikes with Fenders That Doesnt Rub
    I have a few different bikes racks for you that will carry e-bikes with fenders. That said, you will need to go with a frame mount style as you can't use a wheel mount bike rack on a bike with fenders. The best option for you will be the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Electric Bike Rack part # HLY84FR which has an 80 lb per bike weight capacity and soft padded frame hooks so you don't have to worry about rubbing. If either of your bikes has a steep drop tube frame then you will also need...

  • How High Will Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Sit on 1999 Ford F-250
    Looking at your measurement there it appears as though the top of the hitch is approximately 24" off the ground. The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR has a rise of 7" so expect to lift your e-bike about 31" to get it on the rack. If that is too much I recommend pulling the battery so it is easier to lift. Also, now that I see the full frame of your particular TotGuard you will likely need the # HRBA-PRO as well. We have options with a ramp like the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202...

  • Recommended Trunk Mount 3 Bike Rack for 2019 Volvo XC90
    I checked with all of our bike rack manufacturers and the only 3-bike trunk rack option that is confirmed to fit your 2019 Volvo XC90 is the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack, part # Y02638. For your XC90, the HangOut 3 requires that the upper and lower hooks must be installed in anchor mode. See the attached installation instructions for more details. Since this is a hanging style rack, in order to carry a bike level during transport, it must have a relatively straight top tube. Most standard...

  • 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...

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Work With a Womens Step-Through Bike Frame
    The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE part # HLY84FR will work with most step-through frame bikes. The best chance you have of this is to switch the short hook to the bottom and then the long hook to the top on the upright as that will then allow for the lowest connection point. That said, there isn't really a measurement for this so best option would be to order the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # HRBA-PRO which is designed to provide an attachment point for step-through frame...

  • What Spare Tire Bike Racks fit a 2012 Jeep Wrangler with a 12-1/2
    You have the option of purchasing a two or three bike spare tire rack for a 2012 Jeep Wrangler. I recommend a hanging rack like the Hollywood Racks SR2 2-Bike Carrier, part # HRSR2, provides an economical solution for your bike hauling needs. It features a built in rack lock and fits most lug patterns and tires up to 12-1/2" wide like your 12.4" tire. The Hollywood Racks SR2 will require the use of an adapter bar like Hollywood Rack's Adapter Bar, part # HRBA-PRO, to accommodate child,...

  • Recommended Hitch Bike Rack To Carry 2 E-bikes On A Class I Trailer Hitch
    I did some research on Uhaul's website and your Class I trailer hitch has a maximum tongue weight of 200lbs, so you will not have a problem carrying your two e-bikes. The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # TH903202, is an excellent choice. It comes with a ramp to help you load and unload your bikes. This hitch bike rack will clamp your frame, making it easier for you to carry your bike with fenders. Your Trek Domane + is an aluminum...

  • Will The Swagman Chinook Bike Rack Work With Townie 7D Step-Thru Non-Electric?
    Hey Beth, thanks for reaching out. The Swagman Chinook Bike Rack # S64683 works well with step thru bikes like your Townie 7D Step-Thru, but there are a few things to consider. First, it is a frame mount rack, so your fenders will not be an issue. I found the review you mentioned and the main thing I noticed is this customer was using the rack to carry only ONE step thru bike. The bike on the inner position has a more standard frame. This is important because the long ratcheting hook...

The Sport Rider SE2 has adjustable wheel cradles to fit a variety of bike sizes and the ratcheting hooks come with integrated locks to make sure that your bikes are secured when attached to the rack.

    When it comes to hitch-mounted carriers by Hollywood Racks and Malone that can carry adult bikes, kids bikes, and mountain bikes, one pro of the Hollywood Racks models is the weight capacity. If you are looking at a rack like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # HR1400Z, the per-bike weight capacity is 50 pounds. This is great for heavier adult bikes (not electric bikes) and full-suspension mountain bikes. Another great advantage is that the Sport Rider...

I attached a review video and installation instructions for this rack for you to check out also.

The rack is also fat tire compatible. The rack can tilt while loaded with bikes, giving you access to the rear of the vehicle. It has anti-rattle hitch receiver lock which helps do away with extra movement in your rack while locking the rack to your vehicle. The arms that secure the bike lock as well. Since...

  • Recommended Bike Rack to Carry a 26 inch Schwinn Meridian Trike with a 2012 Toyota RAV4
    The bike rack that I recommend using to haul your 26 inch Schwinn Meridian Tricycle with your 2012 Toyota RAV4 is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Trike Carrier # HR1000Z-R-TRKADP. This trike carrier will fit both 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers and can carry a trike with a max track width of 36", a max wheelbase of 74", a max tire width of 3", and a max weight of 100 lbs. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Since your Schwinn has a step-through frame you may need to use an Adapter...

    I do have a trunk mount bike rack option available for your 2010 Toyota Prius, however, the Hollywood Racks Gordo part # HRG2 is not a confirmed fit. For a bike rack that is a confirmed fit and will work well with your Electra Townie, I recommend using the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH45JV. The OutWay is my number one choice for trunk bike racks. It is the easiest to install because it uses only 2 rubbeer-coated straps instead of the 4-6 straps of other carriers. It comes...

The OnRamp has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 66-pounds per bike and includes an integrated ramp that allows for you to roll the bike onto the securing platform without lifting the bike off the ground.

  • Hitch Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Winnebago View Class C Motorhome
    I have a bike rack that will work for you, but I cannot recommend the Kuat Sherpa # SH22G for use on your 2016 Winnebago View. Kuat does not approve the use of their Sherpa 2.0 - or other bike racks - on motorhomes or camper trailers. A bike rack is put under a lot more torque and stress when used at the back of a motorhome or camper when compared to being used on a vehicle. Kuat has not tested and designed their bike racks for use under these more strenuous environments. There are not...

Keep in mind you do not want to exceed the tongue weight capacity of the hitch itself. As far as trunk mounted bike rack we do not offer a 4 bike rack that is compatible with that vehicle.

And for your wife's recumbent trike you will need to order the Trike Kit TRK-E20 from Hollywood racks. We do not carry this particular add on at this time but it will remove the rear bike holder and give you the components needed for the trike.
