Pivoting Arms with Ratcheting Hooks
The Curt platform rack has ratcheting hooks that grab your bikes firmly by the front wheel, so it won't scratch or scuff the paint. To load a bike, simply place your front wheel in the cradle, rotate the arm up and over the wheel, and press down firmly on the ratcheting hook. To unload your bike, press the button on the upright arm to release the ratcheting hook, and slide the hook up.
Sliding Ratchet Straps
The wheel trays have cradles with ratcheting straps to secure your rear wheel to the rack. The cradles slide along the tray to accommodate bikes with a variety of wheelbases. To secure your wheel, run the strap over the rim and back down through the strap buckle and pull tight. To remove your bike, press the quick-release button on the buckle and undo the strap.
Front-Mounted Lever for Easy Tilting and Folding
The rack tilts down with your bikes loaded. So, whether you're at the trail or the grocery store, you don't have to remove your bikes to access your cargo area. It also folds up when not in use. This leaves a smaller footprint, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage. And if you want to remove it, it doesn't take up as much space to store it.
To make tilting and folding easier, the Stage 2's release lever is mounted on the front of the rack. This means you won't have to reach through or around your bikes with one hand to reach the lever, while supporting the rack's weight with the other, when lowering the rack. Instead, you'll be able to hold the rack with both hands the entire time.
Tool-Free Installation with Anti-Rattle Device
The rack quickly installs in your hitch receiver, without the need for tools. Just slide the shank into your hitch and turn the knob until snug. Turning the knob deploys an anti-rattle wedge in the shank to help take play out of the hitch connection.
Complete Security
The rack includes locks to secure your bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. Integrated cable locks thread around your bikes' frames and insert into the lock at the top of each arm. The cables store inside the arms when not in use. The lock on the hand knob secures the rack to your vehicle. The hand knob will spin freely when locked so a would-be thief can't operate it. The locks are keyed alike, so you only need to use 1 key.

Great addition to loading the SUP boards and now adding the e-bike platform to extend the day trips! Extra weight and 4"tire rack is an industry must! Easy to install and set up. Plenty of room for the tail gate access!

Box was half destroyed in shipping, but no damage to bike rack. Installation was easy. Instructions good. Works great so far. Rack is quite heavy as it needs to be. Not sure how I will store it. Big and heavy. Happy with rack so far.

Glad it arrived unscathed despite the rough shipping! I've heard of L-brackets being used to store the rack or even a shelf - but it is pretty hefty! Nature of the beast for a strong beefy rack I suppose :)

We haul 2 electric bikes with fat tires. They fit on the rack perfectly. Very sturdy rack; anti rattle feature prevents rack from wiggling & bouncing in the receiver - this is a great feature; bike tie downs are very effective & simple to use; tilting & stowage is a great feature. We highly recommend this bike rack.

The bike rack came as the day it was projected. The assembly was easy and the rack appears to be more than satisfactory. I do intend to add another ratchet strap for added stability as I travel the interstate speeds.

Love it! We have super heavy e-bikes and I'm not worried one bit. I do add a bungy around the tire and rail to help cinch it a bit, but really that's my own paranoia more than anything. Love the tilt function for getting into the tailgate of our SUV. Wish it was made in the USA!

Overall, a great, heavy duty rack with good weight capacity. At about 8 months the trigger mechanism broke but CURT honored the 1 year warranty and sent a new mechanism. In the last year, this rack has hauled e bikes all over the United States and provides a stable, lockable platform for bikes of all sizes. I am very satisfied.

This is an excellent bike rack for heavy ebikes. We bought two ebikes about 18 months ago and my old bike rack couldn't handle the weight of the ebikes. This rack is extremely strong and sturdy. It's probably a bit too much for just regular bikes as it is quite heavy and moving it around in the garage isn't easy. But it's well worth it for heavy ebikes. I strongly recommend this bike rack!

We bought two e-bikes and needed a bike rack that could handle them. Right from the beginning I was impressed with etrailer. Great product description, great videos and prices were competitive with other companies. We purchased the Curt rack on 9/6/23 and the delivery date was scheduled for 9/11/23. We were pleasantly surprised when the rack arrived on 9/9/23. We assembled it today and plan on using it next weekend. Assembly was easy.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Hitch Bike Rack
- Hitch for 2017 Keystone Montana 3950BR Carrying Bike Rack Hey Arlen, welcome back! For a hitch I recommend the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch # 13703. This Class III hitch fits 22" to 72" wide trailer frames and can be bolted or welded on for installation. It has a max tongue weight of 350 lbs which will be more than enough for the e-bikes and bike rack. It looks like you have the Curt Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # C89JR. Unfortunately, this bike rack is not rated for 5th wheels so I don't recommend using it with your setup. For a bike...
view full answer... - Is Curt Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes Rated for MotorhomeHi Klara; the Curt # C89JR isn't rated for motorhome use so it will not work with your 2023 Gulf Stream Conquest. Instead, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR. This is in the same price range and secures the bikes by the frame. It also has a capacity of 80 lbs per bike. If you have a step-through model and need a different mounting style the # HLY64FR will also work. This is a frame mount but with the padded clamps it can also hold your...
view full answer... - Curt E-Bike Rack Compared to Yakima Holdup Bike RackI am assuming you meant Yakima Holdup part # Y02443 as there isn't a Standup bike rack they offer. This is a pretty similar bike rack to the Curt E-Bike Rack part # C89JR in a few ways as they are both platform racks that use wheel mounts to secure the bikes. The Curt has a 65 lb per bike capacity whereas the Yakima has a 60 lb per bike capacity. The Curt is geared more for carrying e-bikes, or at least that's how it's marketed, but e-bikes almost always have front fenders which would interfere...
view full answer... - Best Mid-Range Platform Wheel Mount Bike Rack with LocksThe RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10004 is a solid choice for a bike rack and I'd go with it over the Curt Bike Rack # C89JR (the same as 18088) any day of the week. Curt isn't a huge bike rack manufacturer so I'm not very confident in their recreational products to be honest - when it comes to towing though, Curt is right at the top with others. In regards to bikes wobbling this shouldn't be the case if they were installed properly. You might see the bike rack wobble some during travel but...
view full answer... - Best Bike Rack for Transporting E-Bikes Behind a 5th Wheel Trailer The best bike rack for e-bikes that is also rated for a 5th wheel trailer is the Hollywood Racks RV Rider item # HLY64FR. This bike rack has an 80 lbs per bike capacity. It also fits tires up to 5" wide. One of the reasons the RV Rider Bike Rack item # HLY64R is the best for not only a 5th wheel trailer but for e-bikes in general is the attachment method. It uses padded clamps with hand knobs that hold the bikes securely by the frame or seat post. This mounting method avoids any fenders...

view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack for Two Electra 2.0XP Step Thru BikesI have a great bike rack that will work with your Electra 2.0XP step thru bikes but you don't want to use the Curt Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # C89JR because it will damage your fenders. Instead, I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack item # S94FR. It has a weight capacity of 70 lbs per bike and is rated for use on all motor vehicles, fifth wheels, motorhomes, travel trailers, and flat towed vehicles. This is a frame mounted bike rack that completely avoids your Electra's fenders....
view full answer... - Why Can't Curt Bike Rack C89JR Be Used at Rear of Fifth Wheel TrailerAt the rear of a trailer the ride quality is much rougher than at the rear of a vehicle due to the less sophisticated suspension and the very long distance from the axle and the rear of the trailer which exaggerates the movements. The most similar two bike platform rack that is rated for use at the rear of a fifth wheel is the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR which has been reinforced for it.

Instead, I recommend checking out the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # LGA77FR. This bike rack has plenty of capacity, boasting 75-lbs per bike for a total of 150-lbs, is compatible with bikes with fenders, and can accommodate a maximum tire width of 4.5". Attached is a product review video for you to check out as well.

Best case scenario is that you'll be able to get the sensor to work by kicking to either side of the receiver, worst case scenario is needing to pick up a sensor relocator kit from your local Honda dealer. This will be the case with any trailer hitch for your vehicle. If you don't already have...

This rack will work great on a 2024 Nissan Murano, provided it is equipped with a 2" hitch. If you are in need of a hitch, I recommend the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e98907 which will be an easy bolt-on install. I have included a link to an install video for you below.

It has a tool-free anti-rattle device that presses against the inside of the trailer hitch to prevent movement and a 1/2" diameter clevis pin to fully secure it to the trailer hitch. Since the clevis pin isn't sold separately you could use the Curt Clevis Pin with Handle and Clip # C45805 or just pick up another 1/2" diameter clevis pin and clip from your local farm & home or hardware...

Here's what I'd recommend looking into: -The Swagman Current Pro # S65SR with the optional Loading Ramp # S32YR – Holds two e-bikes up to 60 lbs each and accommodates tires up to 5" wide. (fits 1-1/4" and 2" receivers) Or - The Hollywood Racks Destination E # HLY66ZR – Includes a loading ramp and holds two e-bikes up to...

We have a couple bike rack options to carry 2 e-bikes with full fenders, but we do not have any great options to carry 3 e-bikes that have full fenders. If your e-bikes are not a step-thru model you can use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR which uses a frame mount style and will...

I've included a video of it being installed on a 2008 Chrysler Sebring soft top convertible, so you can get an idea of the installation process.
