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.

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.

Fit great on our Magicycle Ocelots and our Hollywood rack.
Great price and fast shipping.
by: David05/27/2023
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: MountainMama08/05/2023
Easy assembly, never had a problem with it, someone else said the locking pin was too short but mine is just fine. Works great for carrying e-bikes and it's easy to load them. Be sure to secure them to the carrier with a strap or a strong bungee at the vertical post the hook slides down onto, or they will fall off in transit! If you have a step-through bike, you'll need a converter (an added bar) to carry it on this rack. Customer service was great, too!

@Timothy Glad they're working well for you!
by: Monique12/18/2022
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: Glenn 07/17/2022
Fits my step-thru bike frame perfectly and is very sturdy when I put my ebike on my car bike rack.

Still just as good.
by: Steve 08/15/2023
The adapter bar not only allowed us to avoid having to buy another bike rack to accommodate an e-bike, but also very strong and easy to install and remove.
by: Deborah05/30/2022
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.

A needed item if you have e-bikes from Lectric! The bar worked great and easy to install!
by: John 07/26/2023
The bike frame adapters work great. They were delivered precisely when you said they would be here. We just took our step through, wide tire bikes to the beach 2.5 hours from our house and enjoyed a fabulous 20 mile ride along the coast. Good product and good service.
Thanks

The Hollywood Racks bike frame adapter bars are of excellent quality. I used them yesterday to install 2 girls' bikes along with a man's bike on my new Swagman bicycle support that is now on the rear of my 5th wheel. They did the job.
by: Glenn 06/19/2023
These are a must for the LLectric step thru bikes in conjunction with the Hollywood e-bike rack. Gives you a better clamping location higher up then the actual bike for a more positive hold.
by: Bruce05/11/2022
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: Dan M08/02/2023
It is an excellent add-on to my E bike rack. For friends bikes, makes it easy and safe.
by: Joseph09/08/2022
Great e-bike carrier. Easy installation but helpful to have an extra set of hands loading and unloading. Exactly what I was looking for.

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.

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: Thomas11/14/2021
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: Kathleen09/24/2019
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: Lloyd12/14/2022
Pro: very sturdy. Con: lacks a mechanism for locking the length. Con: difficult to press the release buttons. I added tie wraps, as shown in photos, to help press the buttons
by: Marc07/13/2015
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: Timothy 05/05/2023
Glad i ordered these. they were nedded with our step through e-bikes to keep them secure on the new bike rack we got

view full answer... - Could Hollywood Bar Bike Adapter Fit on Women's Beach CruiserYes the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter bar part # HRBA-PRO would do great installed on a women's beach cruiser bike so that it could be carried with a hanging bike rack. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

view full answer... - Does Hollywood Racks Bike Adapter Bar HRBA-PRO Fit 17.5 and 22 inch Seat Post to Handlebar BikesSince the opening of the bike frame adapters like the # HRBA-PRO is a bit wider it can be challenging to get an exact measurement for the minimum but we do know that it will fit the two dimensions you have that are 17.5 inches and 28-13/16 inches. This will work great on your Yakima RidgeBack 5 bike rack as well. I attached a link to this page that will take you to our return policy page as well.
view full answer... - Can Adapter Bar Be Used For 65-Lb Electric BikeYou are correct. The weight of your e-bike would be too much for any of the adapter bars we offer. The maximum weight that an adapter bar can handle is about 35-lbs. If you are using the bar to use with a platform bike rack you can use it to provide a level attach point but it will not work with a hanging bike rack. You will also want to make sure your bike rack can handle the weight of your bike. If you find you need a new bike carrier I recommend a platform carrier. You can check...

- Does Hollywood Racks Express 3-Bike Rack fit 2004 Acura MDX?Yes, the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier # HRE3 is a fit for your 2004 Acura MDX. This is a solid and economical choice for a trunk-mounted rack, though if you will be using it one a week I would recommend a rack with anti-sway cradles (which hold the bikes on the rack) instead of standard rubber cradles like the Express has. Anti-sway cradles will ensure your bikes do not make # MPG2139 is similar to the Express but it does feature anti-sway cradles as well as a shorter distance...
view full answer... - Recommended 3 Bike Rack for 2016 Jeep With Spare TireI recommend going with the Hollywood Racks Road Runner 3 Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches # HR320. This bike rack fits Class III, 2 inch hitch receivers and features a 20 inch long shank that provides 15 inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar. This means that you will not need to use a hitch extender which reduces your hitch receiver Tongue Weight (TW) by 50%. The Road Runner can fold up when not in use for rear clearance, and can also tilt...

In regards to a women's bike, child's bike or those with a step-through frame, the Curt rack can absolutely carry those, but as with all hanging bike racks it will require the use of an adapter to provide a horizontal mounting point for the bikes to be carried. For that you will need the Bike Frame Adapter...

- Arm Length of Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5-Bike RackThe distance is 26 inches for the arms from the center pole out of the Road Runner bike rack, which is the following part number: - Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5-Bike Rack # HR520 The only other thing to keep in mind is that with a hanging bike rack, if one of the bikes you want to carry has a step-through frame, or you want to carry a children's bike, you'll need to give those bikes a horizontal mounting point with Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO.

- Will the Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier # HRSR1 fit a 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser with Backup CameraThe Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier # HRSR1 should work just fine on your 2013 FJ Cruiser with a backup camera. It will fit around the wheel and would not interfere with the camera aside from its view being mostly blocked by your bikes. On an FJ forum there was a guy who removed the camera and mounted it to the bike rack frame so that the camera would be use-able with bikes loaded. Also, I do not recommend you have your bikes loaded on the rack while you open and close the rear hatch...

If you use the Hollywood Racks Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO, then you would be able to carry your women's step through type of bike on this bike rack. There are several different attachment styles that you can use depending on how your RX350 is equipped. You can use vehicle attachment hooks, the D-Ring attachment straps for roof racks and side rails, or the hatch anchor attachment...
view full answer... - Is The Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack Compatible With A Specialized Roll 3.0 Bike Because your Specialized Roll 3.0 has a step-thru frame you'll just need an adapter like part # HRBA-PRO so that the ratcheting hooks of the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack # C18085 have something grip.
view full answer... - How Would an Alternative Frame Bike Mount to Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier on a Honda CR-VFor alternative frame bikes like your sons you would need to use an adapter bar, # HRBA-PRO. I have included a picture showing how it works. Basically one end clamps around the handlebar gooseneck, the other end around the seat post. This creates an artificial top tube to mount the bike on a hanging rack. This method creates a more level mount for the bike so you will not have one wheel dipping close to the ground.

- Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a Subaru Outback and a 2011 Toyota HighlanderFor your Subaru Outback and your 2011 Toyota Highlander, the trunk mount bike rack that I would recommend is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 bike rack, # HRF2. Most trunk mount bike racks are not recommended for the Highlander because of the rear spoiler. The rear spoiler on the Highlanders is made of plastic and it cannot support the weight of traditional trunk mount bike racks. The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 bike rack does not put any additional stress on the spoiler and it is...

The Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top # HRF2 is a confirmed fit on your 2018 BMW X1 and the high-rise frame and strap mounting options enable the rack to fit hatchbacks, minivans, and SUVs with spoilers- just like your X1.

- Can I Carry Kids Bikes Without Adapter Bar On Curt Premium 4 Bike RackYes the Curt Premium 4 Bike Rack # C18064 can carry most kids and women's bikes without an adapter bar. The smaller and unique frames those bikes usually have creates issues on most bike racks when trying to keep the bikes level. Other times it is too challenging to get the bike rack arms through the frame or the arms are too spread out for the small frame. The tapered design of the bike rack makes it easier to fit a smaller frame bike like a kids bike on the last two spots. With your...

They tested this rack and found that the trunk is secure and strong enough for the weight of the rack plus two bikes. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO to provide a horizontal...

According to Yakima they do not classify any of their bike racks as a fit for your 2012 Ford Edge. Their fit notes indicate that the rear spoiler can not support the weight of the bike rack, and the bikes as well. Thule classifies their Raceway, Passage, Archway, and Gateway all as a fit for your vehicle. However since your vehicle does have a rear spoiler, I recommend the Hollywood Rack Over the Top # HRF2. This bike rack carries two bikes and...

I have confirmed the fit of the Over the Top # HRF2 on your vehicle by consulting Hollywood Racks. To carry womens 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 post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point...

Even with the different mounting options for the Over the Top the middle support frame arm would still be in contact with the rear glass on your 2012 Honda CR-V, and would prevent you from using your rear windshield wiper.

This trunk-mount bike rack is a very popular option for your '19 Civic to carry three bikes because not only does it offer stability for your bikes with its anti-sway cradles but because it is also durable, having been made out of steel but with foam padding to keep your Civic from being damaged in any way.
