Great product. Just use an extra strap between your frame (under the seat) and the carrier bar for added safety. Just think... if the seat came off, your bike would be on the ground without it!



by:

This product is a God send.Too bad that th bike rack I purchased didn't mention the fact that I way need to purchase a bike frame attachment. If they did it would have beeen better thank god this product is available and that etrailer had it available.



by:

I ordered this for my step through e-bike. The quality of this product is excellent! I especially love the fact that the ends are not metal like some others I looked at. This one won’t scratch my bike. E-trailer shipped it quickly and I had it within days of placing my order.



by:

Nice product, sturdy, easy to use! Great service, came quickly

Still working great after a year. It is well made and sturdy, and does the job!



by:

Our adapter bar for our bike rake was exactly what we needed. Alex from etrailer kept in contact with us thru the whole process to let us know when it was shipped and to make sure we received it. I would recommend etrailer for ordering any bike accessories you may need. Thanks Alex for a job well done.



by:

Although we haven't used these on a long trip, I can say they work great to stabilize our kid's bikes when we went on a short trip in our community. We had no idea we were supposed to use these adapters to keep the bike safe (from falling off) and also from damaging the bikes while being transported, we now realize how much better the bikes fit and are much more secure. Because of COVID, the Thule adapters were out of stock but this brand is pretty much the same, does the same job and was less expensive.



by:

Purchasing thru etrailer was a great experience. My order was processed promptly, my package arrived as expected, and the shipping vendor used (UPS) delivered on time and when they said it would be delivered! The product purchased is of high quality and works as expected. I’d definitely do business with etrailer again. I highly recommend etrailer.



by:

The frame adapter bar was just what we needed. It goes on and off with such ease.



by:

The bar fits my "low entry" bike well. It's strong and supports the bike nicely on the bike rack.



by:

Perfect for supporting our bikes on our bike rack.



by:

Great experience dealing with your company. The adapter bar is working out perfectly. Now I can put the ladies bike and Childs bike on the rack. Thanks.



by:

Bike frame adapter works great. Easy to attach to bikes and works with my bike rack great.



by:

I have been VERY happy with the customer service from etrailer, specifically Noah!! As far as the product, it is easy to use and solves the problem of securing my step through bicycle. I have just used it once but so far so good.



by:

This rack is rock solid and easy to install and uninstall



by:

Perfect fit to add to bike rack!



by:

Great tool to "even out" those bike lines when carrying on the back of a vehicle.



by:

If you have a step through bike, this is a must. Well built and easy to use



by:

Great addition to my vehicle and helps Me transport my bikes safely.



by:

Perfect for a step through bike frame.



by:

I thought this was something terrific that I couldn’t findI put this on in five seconds and took it off in five seconds this appears to be just what I was looking for



by:

There's no way that I could mout all four bikes without these. They work beautifully.



by:

Works well



by:

Definitely helps on a female bike. No issues. Works great.



by:

I've not had a chance to try this out yet. I'm giving 4 stars for the speed in shipping though!



by:

Work as expected. A little cheaper than the Yakima brand.

  • Is the Swagman XTC2 TILT a Good Rack for My 2021 Lexus RX 350?
    Yes, the Swagman XTC2 TILT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S64671 is a great economical rack to use on your 2021 Lexus RX 350 with a 2-inch hitch receiver. As far as installing and removing your hitch to your vehicle, all it requires is for you to slide the shank of the rack into the hitch receiver and place the hitch pin into the pinhole of the receiver. Since the Swagman XTC2 only weighs 30 pounds, it is easily manageable to lift. As far as traveling at high...

  • Can the Thule Doubletrack be Used with Womens Bikes
    If you are using the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack part # TH92BJ with a bike that has an alternative frame like most womens bikes then you are going to want to use an adapter bar like the Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SR0500 on each of those bikes. The adapter bar will hook around both the seat/handlebar post and provide a level surface for the frame hook to attach to. The frame hooks themselves can go pretty low but the issue is that if you did not use this adapter bar then you risk...

  • Securing Bike With Alternative Frame To Platform Bike Carrier
    Most frame mount platform bike racks will fit a vareity of bike frames. If you have concerns with the crossbar height of any bikes you can check out an adapter bar like part # SR0500. This adapter attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and provides a level plane for securing the bike on a carrier.

  • Which Spare Tire Bike Rack Has the Highest Weight Capacity
    I have attached a list of all our spare tire mounted bike racks for you to look through. Out of these options, the Surco Spare Tire 3 Bike Rack part # BT300 as you mentioned has the highest carrying capacity which is 35 lbs per bike. The rest of the spare tire mounted bike rack options we offer top out at 33 lb per bike. The Surco will allow for up to 3 bikes to be carried at a time, has rubber pads to protect the bike's frame, and comes with a lock. If you will be using this bike rack...

  • Which Hitch-Mounted 4 Bike Rack Is Recommended For Bikes With Fenders?
    I have a solution for you, but wheel-mount bike racks such as the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22G-NA22G are not typically ideal for bikes with a fender or basket. This is because the hook that mounts around the tire could interfere with and cause damage to the fender or basket. That said, I attached a photo that a customer submitted, showing this rack being used with a bike that does have a front fender and basket. While the Kuat NV 2.0 could potentially work for you, I still recommend going...

  • Can the Lets Go Aero Hitch Bike Rack Hold Fat Tire Bikes?
    The way the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric Bike Rack # LGA34FR bike rack works is that it clamps around your bike's tire. The hook that goes around your rim can accommodate up to a 4.5" tire width. From what I know of the Lectric XP Step Thru is that they have 4" tires, so this rack should work perfectly for you. If the tires on your electric bike are wider than 4.5", then I recommend a different bike rack like the Swagman E-spec # S94FR which can accommodate heavy electric bikes AND is approved...

  • Will the Thule Camber 2 TH9058 Fit a 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-350 Sedan
    Yes, the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 will work perfectly on your 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-350 Sedan. There will be plenty of bumper clearance and the tilting mechanism will allow you to get into your trunk without having to remove the bike rack. The Roadway 2 has a threaded hitch pin so the rack will be stable while in transit and it comes with a lifetime warranty which Thule stands by. Please note if any of your bikes have an alternative frame you will also need the SportRack Bike...

  • 3-Bike Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack Fit on 2016 Lexus RC 300
    After doing some digging, I was able to find one option for a 3-bike trunk-mounted bike rack for your 2016 Lexus RC 300, from Yakima: - Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack # Y02633 The FullBack will fit your Lexus, but it is also just a really nice rack with strong anti-sway cradles and ratcheting straps which secure your bikes at three different points; this ensures your bike won't swing while you are traveling, keeping it steady to protect the bike as well as your Lexus. I do recommend adding...

  • Which Bike Rack Is Best For Electric Step-Thru Bikes? Saris Freedom, Swagman Current, Swagman E-Spec
    All of the bike racks you were looking at happen to be great options, but I would go with the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # SA4412B for your step through ebikes (Electra Townie and Magnum). This carrier is very lightweight at only 22.5 lbs, whereas the Swagman Current # S64678 weighs 49 lbs and the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR weighs 60 lbs. Also, the Saris uses adjustable cradles that can be used at various heights, including very low down for your step through frames. The Swagman...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for 2006 Toyota RAV4 With a Spare Tire on the Back
    I have three different brands of bike racks that will fit your 2006 Toyota RAV4 with a spare tire on the back. The Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack # TH963PRO is a hanging rack. A nice feature on this frame is that it comes with a bike and rack lock on it. The other brand of bike rack that we have that will fit on your RAV4 that I recommend is the Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount, # HRSR1. The Spare Me Bike Rack doesn't include a lock for the bike(s) so you will want to...

  • Trailer Hitch and 4-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2020 Toyota Sienna
    Let's start with a trailer hitch for your 2020 Toyota Sienna, and for that I highly recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76112 because of Draw-Tite's reputation for quality and because it has a hidden crosstube for a clean look. Since you mentioned a small trailer, the correct wiring harness for your Sienna will depend on what model it is. If you have a 2020 Toyota Sienna SE model, you need T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118498; if you have ANY other model of '20 Sienna you...

  • SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar Length
    The maximum length of the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SR0500 is 22-5/8 inches. It falls under the category of adapter bars that are 14-5/8 inches to 29-1/4 inches so that may be where the confusion is. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out also. If you are looking for a longer adapter bar you might be interested in the Yakima Top Tube Adapter bar part # Y02531. This bar extends out to 31-1/2 inches of length.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2006 Honda CR-V With a Spare Tire
    For your 2006 Honda CR-V with a spare tire I recommend using the Thule Apex Swing 4 Bike Rack # TH9027XT. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the upright bar on the carrier is 12 inches which should give you more than enough room for your spare tire. This bike rack features a swinging arm that will allow you to gain access to your cargo area just keep in mind that you will most likely not be able to open your rear door all of the way. It also has bike locks built into...

  • Is the Thule Camber 2 a Good Fit for the 2016 Nissan Rogue
    The Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 is an excellent option for your 2016 Nissan Rogue. It is cost effective, easy to use, and has a lifetime warranty. It will however interfere with the view for your backup camera but this is more or less unavoidable with any rack due to the position of the camera on the vehicle in regards to the position of the trailer hitch receiver. However, the bike rack only weighs around 28 lbs and it can be removed with a single bolt so taking it off the vehicle...

  • Best 4-Bike Hanging Rack for a 2019 Toyota Camry
    The Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR is an excellent option for a 2019 Toyota Camry with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11576. That said, if you are interested in adding locks then the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack part # TH9025XT is a better option as you not only get a hitch lock with anti-rattle but also integrated bike locks. The Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device part # THSTL2 when added to the Thule Hitching Post Pro would only give you a hitch lock and...

  • Best 4-Bike Rack To Clear Rear Doors On a 2007 Dodge Sprinter
    The only way you are going to be able to open the rear doors on your 2007 Dodge Sprinter with a bike rack installed and the bikes attached would be to use a swing-away bike rack. I saw that you were looking at four bike racks so if this is how many bikes you have then I recommend going with the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack part # SR2415 which is currently the most cost effective option that fits the bill. However, you will need the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SR0500 for...

  • Will Safety Straps of Curt 3-Bike Towing Rack Work on 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
    Yes, your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder is compatible and will work with the safety straps of the Curt bike rack you mentioned, which is the following part: - Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack for 2" Ball Mounts # C18013 The hooks are vinyl coated so they won't harm the finish on your Pathfinder at all. In regards to your other question, there isn't another option for a 3-bike towing rack without straps, though I'm confident you'll be happy with the Curt rack.

  • Sport Rack Elite SR0500 Bike Frame Adapter Weight Capacity
    The weight capacity of the Sportrack bike frame adapter part # SR0500 is 35 lbs which is the highest capacity adapter bar out there. The Hollywood Racks e-bike rack part # HLY74FR would not require an adapter bar as the hooks of the rack can come down lower for step thru bike frames like you mentioned.

  • Whats Difference Between Hollywood Racks and Sportrack Bike Frame Adapter Bar
    The only real advantage the Hollywoood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # HRBA-PRO is that it has a wider width range of 15-13/64 inches to 28-13/16 inches whereas the SportRack # SR0500 has a range of 15-1/4 inches to 22-5/8 inches. Based on that I would go with the Hollywood Racks.

  • Using the Yakima BackSwing on a 2006 Dodge Sprinter RV Conversion with Softride Versa 2 Rack
    The Yakima BackSwing # Y02483 is a great add-on for allowing your standard platform rack to transform into a swing away rack, however it is not compatible with 1-1/4" hitch shanks or shanks that allow for an adapter to go up to 2"; for that reason, it would not be an option for you to use with your Softride Versa unless you have the version that was specifically made for use with a 2" hitch receiver. If you don't have the 2" version and you'd like to upgrade to a swing away platform rack,...

The swing away function gives you full access to your cargo area even when the bikes are loaded. It has anti-sway cradles to prevent bike to bike contact and the cradles are adjustable to ensure proper bike spacing. This bike rack does not include the locks for additional security.

    Yes, I confirmed with Yakima that the FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 will fit your 2021 Nissan Sentra with a factory spoiler. If you have a children's bike, women's style bike, or step through bike, I recommend an adapter bar like the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SR0500. The adapter bar will give you a straight horizontal frame that is required to mount on the FullBack 2.

  • Best Electric Fat Tire Bike Rack for 5th Wheels
    Sounds like what you're looking for are bike racks that can accommodate fat bike tires, have a heavy weight capacity for your electric bikes, AND are sturdy enough to handle the extra road stress on a fifth wheel. That's a tall order, but I actually have TWO great recommendations for you. The first is the Swagman E-Spec Electric Bike Rack # S94FR with a separate Fit Tire Bike Adapter # S64679. It has a weight capacity of 70 lbs per bike, and can be folded up when no bikes are loaded. It...

    To pair with the Swagman Current # S64678 I recommend using the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # SR0500, which will fit well on your Trek Verve 2 Lowstep. These are meant to work as universal parts though, so really any adapter bar would work, no matter who the manufacturer is. I've linked a short review video that shows how this is installed.
