• Do I Need a Bike Frame Adapter Bar when Using the RV Rider with Step-Thru Electric Bikes?
  I have a great solution for you. Even though the independently-adjusting cradles on the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR eliminate the need of a bike frame adapter bar, the OnRamp is not safe to use on the back of a flat-towed vehicle. I I confirmed with the engineers at Yakima that the OnRamp cannot withstand the extra torque/forces exerted on the rack during transport on your 2019 Jeep Wrangler. Even if the OnRamp was approved, the 5-inch distance between the center of the pinhole and the closest...

• Best 2 Bike Carrier for a Jayco 5th Wheel Trailer
  For starters, bike racks used on the back of a 5th wheel trailer must be rated for this use as they will experience more stress in comparison to a bike rack used on the back of a vehicle. This has to do with the movement associated with the carrier being located father away from the rear axle. The best platform style bike rack we have for a 5th wheel trailer is the Swagman E-spec 2-Bike Platform Rack part # S94FR. The Escapee was actually designed specifically for use on the back of a...

• Demo Video for Thule Passage 2 Bike Rack on Hatchback Vehicle
  I attached a link to a demo video for the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT being installed on a hatchback Toyota Prius C for you to check out. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes...

• Best Spare Tire Mounted Bike Rack Comparison Thule Vs Yakima
  The Thule Spare Me Bike rack part # TH963PRO and the Yakima Spare Tire part # Y02599 both do come with locks to secure the rack to your spare tire and cable locks to secure the bikes to the carrier. The biggest difference between the two and is only an advantage for some people is that the Yakima can fit on spare tires that are up to 12.5 inches wide whereas the Thule can only fit tires that are up to 10 inches wide. Aside from that the only actual feature that the Yakima has that the Thule...

• Recommended 2 Bike Rack For 2013 Honda Fit Sport Where Trunk Mounted Racks Wont Fit
  I reached out to my contact at Thule and they confirmed they do not have any fits for your 2013 Honda Fit Sport Model. They said the reason is the factory spoiler is not strong enough to support the straps. All of our manufacturers exclude the Sport model for this reason. My recommendation is to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11064 and then use the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack # TH92BJ which is a confirmed fit along with the support strap...

  The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75676 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Lexus RX 450h. We do not have any videos of the RX450h with that particular hitch receiver, but I have added the video of the installation of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13143 which is also a fit to assist.

• Adapter for low Step-Through Frame E-Bike to fit Bike Rack
  The perfect solution for you to carry your EVELO Luna with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2-Bike Carrier for Electric Bicycles # HLY84FR would be to use an adapter bar which attaches between your seat post and handlebar stem to create a horizontal mounting point. You can see exactly what it does in the photo I've attached for you. The bar you want is going to depend on the length between your seat post and handlebar stem; the Swagman Deluxe # 64005 is adjustable from 24 3/8" to 33...

• What Bike Rack do You Recommend for Transporting an E-Bike on a Truck and Travel Trailer?
  I have a solution for you. Any time you use any adapter like the MaxxTow Hitch Adapter # MT70032, you reduce the overall weight capacity of the hitch by 50%. With that being said, that will reduce your trailer's hitch to only 65 pounds of available tongue weight. Since the OnRamp # Y36FR already weighs 39.5 pounds, that leaves only 25.5 pounds of available tongue weight on the rack. This is extremely dangerous. We unfortunately do not recommend going this route even if you plan on further...

• How do I Transport a Honda Grom, a Scooter, and 2 Bikes on My Class C Motorhome?
  As far as mounting your Honda Grom and your scooter to your 2019 Winnebago 22R motorhome, we unfortunately do not have a traditional bike rack that will work for the weight of those bikes. However, the best route is to use the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches - With Ramp - 77" Long # UF48-979033. The Ultra-Fab is RV-approved and will fit motorcycles/scooters up to 500 pounds. In addition, the carrier comes with an included ramp that can be positioned on either end to make for...

• Recommended Thule 3 Bike Rack Compatible With Class 1 Hitch On 2008 Honda Accord
  The Thule Helium Aero Pro 3-Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting - Aluminum # TH9043PRO is the only Thule 3 bike carrier that is rated as compatible with Class I trailer hitch receivers, however the manufacturer will limit the rack to two bikes on a Class I trailer hitch. This is a really nice bike rack with the built in anti-rattle as well as the one-key system to secure the rack to your receiver and the cable lock to secure your bike to the rack itself. I recommend using the...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Compatible with 2016 Volvo XC90 Spoiler
  On your 2016 Volvo XC90 if you have a roof rack you can use the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top Trunk Bike Rack # HRF2 or # HRF2-3. I confirmed this with the manufacturer. We don't list the fit in our guide because it requires the rails for a fit. If you don't have a roof side rails then you will need to add a roof rack to your flush mounted rails to use that rack. The # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX040 are my recommendation. If you have the raised factory side rails then you don't need to add...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Ford Sport Trac Automatic Behind a Winnebago Adventurer
  We have everything you need to flat tow your 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac behind your Winnebago Adventurer, but before attempting to tow I strongly recommend checking your owners manual before proceeding. From what I could find, the 4WD models with the electronic shift transfer case and automatic transmission cannot be flat towed. Ford also has distance and speed restrictions when flat towing this vehicle. To flat tow your 2001 Ford Sport Trac Automatic behind your Winnebago Adventurer...

• Recommended Dual Hitch Adapter For 2017 Kia Sorento for Bike Rack and Pop-up Trailer
  Your 2017 Kia Sorento has a towing capacity of 2,000 to 5,000 lbs depending on what motor and transmission you have. I recommend checking your owner's manual to make sure you are within the manufacturer's specifications. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75908. This will give you a 2 inch opening that will allow you to use the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544. This will allow you to tow your...

• Compatibility of 3 Bike Rack on 2015 Toyota Prius
  The Reese Q-Slot Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack is a fit for your 2015 Prius but has been discontinued. If you already have the rack it will work very well for you. I recommend using the included pin and clip for a secure fit in the hitch and then using a cable lock like # e98891 to secure your bikes to the rack. The 2 inch receiver only Reese Q-Slot Platform-Style 2 Bike and 4 Bike Rack PS63138 (also discontinued) was a 2 or 4 bike carrier, but would NOT work on your 2015 Toyota Prius...

• Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2001 Honda Accord Coupe with Spoiler
  Since you don't want a hitch I assume you aren't interested in a roof rack for the same reason so that leaves you with a trunk mount rack. A great trunk mount I like to recommend is the Saris Bones, part # SA805BL. This is a high quality, easy to install rack that's more affordable than some of the others. The arched design is great for spoilers and it's mostly made of plastic making it a lot less susceptible to rust and corrosion. It also has anti-sway cradles. The only thing I don't...

• What is the Maximum Wheelbase of the Hollywood Racks Destination
  The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY94FR can handle bikes with a maximum wheelbase of 48", so it should be able to handle an extra large mountain bike in most cases. If you find that you need a rack that is a bit larger, let me know what the wheelbase of your largest bike is and I can look for a suitable alternative.

• Will Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack Work with 2015 Nissan Rogue
  The Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # Y02637 is not a confirmed fit for your 2015 Nissan Rogue. I've linked the page to other options confirmed to fit. With a hanging style bike rack, you often will need the bike adapter bar like # 64005 to give you a level transport by creating a top frame rail between the seat post and handlebar.

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Infiniti QX60
  The Thule OutWay 3-bike # TH56BV would be what I would recommend for your 2014 Infiniti QX60. It is a confirmed fit and the nicest rack around. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around....

• Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2008 Honda Odyssey
  To start, I recommend using Draw-Tite hitch # 75270, which is a confirmed fit on your 2008 Honda Odyssey. This is a Class III, 2" hitch which is a complete bolt-on installation so no drilling into your Odyssey's frame will be required; I've added a link to a video of this hitch being installed on an '08 Odyssey for you to check out. As for a bike rack, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 # HR1450Z, which uses padded hooks to grasp your bikes by the top tubes and adjustable...

  I am attaching a helpful article that explains how to measure to see what clearance you need at the back of your Jeep with the rear mounted spare tire. After you have measured for clearance you can take a look at the attached link I have provided for hitch mounted bike carriers. If you want to let me know the year of your Jeep Wrangler, and the clearance measurement you have, I can make some recommendations that will work for you. Also, let me know what size hitch you have on your Jeep....

• Recommended Bike Carriers for 2015 Toyota Camry
  The trunk-mount bike rack I recommend for your 2015 Camry is the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. This carrier uses only 2 retractable cables to secure the rack to the car versus other bike carriers that typically use 6 straps. The # TH45JV features an upgraded cradle system and includes a spacer between the bikes to keep the bikes from hitting one another and it has a locking system to secure the bikes to the carrier and the carrier to the vehicle to help deter theft. This bike carrier also...

• Will Hollywood Racks Express Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan
  The Hollywood Racks Express trunk mount bike rack # HRE3 is listed as a fit for your 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan. It does not have a glass hatch accessory requirement like Yakima trunk mount bike racks. An adapter bar, such as # 64005, is recommended but not required unless the bike has a step-through frame. If the adapter bar is not used the bike will be at an odd angle and can affect ground clearance. However, if your Tiguan has that top spoiler or trim piece at the top of the hatch then...

• Recommended 4-Bike Hitch Mounted Bike Carrier For 2005 Volvo XC90
  From my research on your XC90 I found it has a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. You can verify that by checking the decal that should be on the passenger side front door post or on the inside of the engine compartment on the driver side under the hood for the weight capacity for your vehicle. Since the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR weighs about 40 lbs, you would be fine because the weight capacity for each bike in the carrier is 35 lbs, or a total of 140 lbs. This bike...

• Can I Use My 2 Aventon Adventure Lectric Step-Thru E-Bikes With the Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR?
  From the sounds of your question, I assume you are talking about the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR. If this is the rack you are referring to, yes! It works with 20" diameter tires as long as you have the adapter # HLY24FR for each bike. This adapter does not come with the rack itself. This rack is a great choice because it has a super high 80 pound per bike weight capacity. It also accommodates fat bike tires up to 5 inches wide (if you have them). As far as your step-thru...
