Features to know about

Built for Big Loads: 80 lb Capacity Per Bike

Heavy e-bikes are no problem here. The Sport Rider SE holds 2 electric bikes, each up to 80 lbs, on a solid steel platform built for real weight. Adjustable wheel hoops fit up to 5.0" tires and 60" wheelbases, so everything from standard to fat-tire rides sits steady. The 10" spacing between bikes keeps frames from bumping, and the ratcheting frame hooks lock down each bike without stressing the paint.

Stay Visible on the Road: Integrated LED Light Bar

Hauling big bikes can block your vehicle’s tail lights, but the Sport Rider SE fixes that with an included LED bar. It adds stop, turn, and tail light functions using a simple 4-flat connector, so your signals stay bright and clear even when the rack is loaded. Every wire and strap needed for the hookup is included, so setup is straightforward and safe from the start.

Easy Access and Compact Storage: Tilts and Folds When You Need It

Getting into the back is simple thanks to a tilt-down design that works with bikes loaded. Once parked, the rack folds up against your vehicle for a smaller footprint. Whether you’re rolling up to a trailhead or fitting into a tight garage, the rack’s spring pins and snapper pin make each move quick and tool-free.

Tool-Free Mounting: Anti-Rattle Handle and Stop Plate

Hooking up the rack doesn’t mean crawling under your hitch. The welded stop plate automatically aligns the shank and pin holes, so you slide it in, drop the pin, and tighten the anti-rattle handle. No tools, no wobble. That solid, play-free fit keeps the setup quiet even on rough roads.

Security That Covers It All: Locks for Bikes and Rack

Peace of mind is built in. The Sport Rider SE includes keyed-alike locks on the frame hooks and hitch pin, plus a security cable to tie everything together. That means both your bikes and the rack stay secured wherever you park. With its powder-coated steel construction and 54-lb frame, it’s a durable, theft-resistant setup ready for long-term use.

Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack w/ LED Bar for 2 Bikes

Hi everyone, Aiden here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Hollywood Rack Sport Rider SE 2-Bike Rack with the light bar attachment. This is gonna be a platform style bike rack capable of carrying up to two bikes and two really heavy bikes up to 80 pounds each so this is a great option for your heavier e-bikes, and with that light bar attachment down below you're going to be getting your turn signals, brake lights and running lights from going down the road so long as our vehicle has 4-pole wiring. Let's check it out. Now the Sport Rider has been around for a while so there's nothing really new about the bike rack, but this kit, like I said comes with this light bar. So that's the thing that really sets it apart.

So if you're familiar with the Sport Rider or maybe you already have one, you can get this piece separate. But if you're looking at getting a bike rack that has some sort of taillight function especially one that's just ready to go right out of the box, kitted together, then this is gonna be one of the quickest and easiest ways to do it because it's pretty cost effective. And as much as I thought the light bar felt like an afterthought at first, it kind of is because this bike rack wasn't designed from the ground up to have it. I do think it integrates fairly well and it's a pretty good light bar. It's very visible here in the middle of the day, the sun's out, but also the LEDs are really nice because you've got the amber LEDs in a sequential sequence for your turn signals and the hazards that we have on right now.

And then the top row is red LEDs for your running lights and your brake lights. So you do get some sort of distinction there and if you're braking while your turn signal's on it's very easy to denote what's happening and for other drivers to see what you're doing when you're going down the road. As far as the bike rack itself goes, it's gonna fit I think a really unique place in the market. It's got that 80 pound capacity, which is one of the things that really sets it apart from the competition because not many bike racks in general have that high of a capacity. Sure, a lot of them, especially on our site have e-bike compatibility with 60 pound weight capacities and maybe some that even go up to 70.

But if you need up to 80, this is one of your only options. So whether you're using it on a passenger vehicle like this or maybe you have a motor home because this is motor home approved and you need a way to carry an e-bike that's that heavy, then this could be a great way to do it. It is also a very stable bike rack. No movement of the bikes in the cradles there. These frame hooks do a great job at pushing them down and holding it in place and the wheels straps down on those cradles also do a good job at keeping the wheels nice and still.

Now because it makes frame contact not the best idea for carbon frame bikes and alternative frame bikes might need a bike adapter bar. So there are some limitations to it. It's not perfect, but if you do have a bike that'll work with that frame hook then I do think it's gonna do a great job at keeping it still. This rack does have the ability to tilt away with the bikes loaded, which is really convenient if you need access to the back of your vehicle during a trip or anything. I'd rate the ease of difficulty kind of in the middle with this. There's a pin and retaining clip on the bottom that we need to remove just as a secondary safety measure, and then a pull pin on the side that will do the final release of the bike rack and lower it down with the bikes loaded. So you will need to probably push up on the rack a little bit to help release the bind on that pin, but that'll let you open up the back of your vehicle. Now this truck, it's just not gonna work really with this specific year, make, model. No bike racks work with the tailgate, but for a typical passenger vehicle with a hatch or a trunk this is gonna work just fine. With this tilted out of the way, you can probably see a little bit better. The 4-pole wiring that goes from our light bar to our vehicle, so you will need 4-pole wiring on your vehicle. If you don't have that, you can pick it up here at etrailer to find the right kit for your vehicle. Just entering in your information to our fit guide to find the right one. And then this lead is quite long and will go all the way back to our light bar where we have the excess bound up with one of the cable straps they included. The rack just pushes back into place. That pull pin will latch in so it holds itself for you, and then you can put the safety pin and retaining clip underneath that, making sure you just push up so it'll actually line up and clip into place and then you're ready to hit the road. Now as far as how it holds the bikes those hooks have a lock on them so you can make sure that no one can press this button and release the hook when you're not around, making sure that you've got security built in. And as far as unloading goes you wanna start down at the bottom. Our wheel straps here are gonna be the secondary points of contact that help to ensure the bike stays a little bit extra still. And with how long these straps are and how wide the cradles are, this is compatible with fat tire bikes up to five inches in width. And then when those are both removed we can turn our attention to that hook up top, press the button and push up on the hook to release it. It does get bound up a little bit so you might have to just squeeze it pretty aggressively to push it up and then tilt the bike out of there. Now one thing I don't like about this is that there is a screw on the top of the mast here which means that these hooks can't be fully removed. For this outer bike, it's no problem because I can easily get it in. But what that means for our innermost bike is that I have to fish it around that hook, and with a heavy e-bike, that's gonna be really difficult. We'll show you what that looks like right now. So we'll get that second hook undone. This is as high as it goes, which means I now have to get the bike fished out through here, being careful to not hit my own vehicle and get it out from the bike rack. Now I will say this process was a little easier because we have it on a truck. There's a little more distance here and less up here to worry about hitting, whereas with an SUV we'd have some glass there and maybe a larger lift gate. So again, some things to consider just because it's going to be a little harder to load if you can't get these hooks out of the way. Now, if that loading process is a concern for you then I'd recommend something like the Hollywood Rack's Destination e-bike rack. That's gonna be a very similar rack in terms of weight capacity. It can hold up to 70 pounds but it's going to have a mast that isn't in the center. It actually sits behind both bikes so you don't have to fish it around anything. You just might have to watch out for the handlebars when you're loading up that innermost bike, but it's a lot easier and it comes with a ramp. So instead of lifting the bike up into place you can wheel it up. Depending on your vehicle that process will be a little bit easier than others. The higher your hitch sits, the steeper that ramp will be but regardless of how steep it is it's gonna be easier than just lifting it up on your own. Now two measurements you probably want to keep in mind in this state is how far it sits out from the back of your vehicle. And one I like to include for this one is how close that center cradle sits to the hitch pin 'cause that's gonna help you figure out if you have clearance with your bikes. A lot of times motor home approved bike racks have issues with that on the platform side of things like we have here. So from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of that first cradle is 15 inches. You can go to your own vehicle whether that's your passenger vehicle or a motor home, set your bike up 15 inches from that hitch pin hole and figure out if your handlebars are gonna hit the back of your vehicle or if you have clearance. Now the other thing to keep in mind is from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest point out and that's 32 inches. That'll let you know what your clearances are like when you're adding length to the back. So when you're driving around, just keep in mind that there's gonna be 32 inches of added space which honestly for a two-bike rack isn't too bad. You can fold all that up though. We'll start by folding the mast down, which is done just by this one pin here. It's a pretty unique system where it's got a small tab on one side that lines up with a tab on the noch holes so they use that to feed it through. And then when you twist it, it won't pop back out 'cause it hits that tab. So pretty simple system. And then we can just pull the pull pin and lift it up. And then there's a second pull pin that you might have to pull or it'll just auto latch depending on the age. Ours has been down in the shop and out in the rain for a long time now, so it doesn't move the smoothest but that'll relatch in right there in the folded state and now only stick out 18 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole. So you do save a good amount of space by folding it up, making it easier to drive around with. You do have to keep in mind though that it is going to sit closer to the vehicle now though. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest point it's gonna be about seven and a half inches. So that will let you know if you have clearance to even fold it properly with your vehicle because if it sits too close it's just not gonna fold. In this folded position you can see that light bar a lot better, how it clamps around the square tube of the sport rider here and that's what lets it hold on. They give you additional hook and loop straps to help support it because this is a flexible material here because you can put this on really any bike rack even if it isn't the Sport Rider, you just use things like these hook and loop straps and a strap that feeds through the back of the light bar to attach it around bike frames or any point that it would fit. But regardless, in this folded state, it can still work. Just loosen up those hand knobs a little bit and flex it out of the way of this reinforcement plate and just push it down. So not the most graceful thing in the world and it doesn't sit perfectly flat because of our cradles here, but it does work and it will be visible in this folded position. Now with that in mind, I do wanna point out some more specific comparisons to other bike racks with taillight functions because this isn't the most graceful thing in the world. Both of the options I'm gonna compare it to are much more premium options and they're not gonna be for everyone. So in that case, this might be your best choice. But the first one is the Kuat Piston Pro X. That's going to be an example where the taillights are directly integrated into the rack. It comes out of the box with everything you need, ready to just plug into your 4-pole wiring, giving you all those functions in the back but that's going to be very expensive. It is very nice, but again, it's just not for everyone. And the other example is the Yakima StageTwo, another premium option capable of carrying up to 70 pounds but that one is going to be one that you have to purchase it separately. It's nice though because the rack is designed from the factory to work with that light kit add-on piece. There's a channel in the center of the body of the bike rack where you can run a cable through and the whole thing looks very intentional and it especially is very easy to see because the lights fold down when you fold it up and always remain visible and they're very large lights. So if you're looking for something that has a really nice add-on and looks like it's built with the intention of upgrading it down the line, that would be my choice. And it is a little bit more cost effective than that Kuat but not by much. Again, if you're looking for something to get you started this is the way I would go, especially if you plan on upgrading to a different rack down the line 'cause you can still take this light bar with you and use it on a separate rack. Now, something you might not think about when living with the bike rack until you actually are living with it is what it looks like when it's not in the hitch. In your garage it's gonna stand up on its own pretty okay and it's not gonna be super heavy. Don't get me wrong. It's not lightweight by any means but it's got good handholds and the weight is distributed really well if you grab it by the mast and the main frame there and then you can get it to your vehicle relatively easily. Now the biggest thing is that on that two inch shank it's going to have a stopper. So when you slide that into your hitch just put it in all the way until it hits that stopper. That is gonna be by far the most helpful thing when setting this up because there's no need to align a hitch pin hole. It uses a standard pin with a lock on the other side and an oblong, oval shaped hole rather than a threaded one. So it makes it very easy to pass this pin through. And on the outside we have this hand knob that we can just thread without a tool and that's going to draw that hole against that hitch pin and bind it against the hitch pin hole. That acts as your anti-rattle device, keeping it tool free and keeping the installation very quick and easy. That lock core is keyed alike to those cables, or sorry, the hooks up top and it just pushes onto the end of that hitch pin so you don't need the key unless you need to unlock it. And because this comes with the 4-pole wiring I just have it draped over right there. All the excess is still bound up, but just plug that into your 4-pole and then you're ready to load up. And by now I think you know probably about how I feel about this Sport Rider SE with that light bar attachment. I think it's a great way to get started. Certainly not the nicest option on the market right now. I'd say for me the Yakima StageTwo with its light kit is my personal favorite but it is a fair bit more expensive, doesn't have as good of a weight capacity and it's not going to be as easy to operate in some regards because it's super heavy and this is a lot easier to get in and out of the hitch. So for me, I like it for those reasons. I like that it's easy to get in the hitch, it's easy to get started. You can take that light bar and put it on a different bike rack down the road if you get a different one, or if you have multiple bike racks for different vehicles in the family. Plus it's got an 80 pound weight capacity that's really impressive and it's going to be fairly easy to use with that tool free install. So if that all floats your boat, you're into those things and you don't mind maybe the harder loading process on the inside cradle there with the wheel hook and you're not concerned about the frame contact then this could be the right one for you. But that has just been our look at the Hollywood Rack Sport Rider SE with the light bar attachment. Thanks for watching.

Lets be honest, there are better looking racks. But I work at etrailer.com and can use pretty much any bike rack in the world. When it came time to go on an adventure race I chose this rack to get my teams bikes there. When we got home one of my team mates bought one because he was so impressed. When it came time to go on a 12 hour road trip with my family I chose the Hollywood. It is a star. Not a Marilyn Monroe, more of a Sylvester Stallone. The thing is solid and it works really well. It is heavy, but any 4 bike rack is going to be on the heavy side. The option to remove the 2 bike extension is nice because it makes the rack easier to handle when you only need 2 bikes. The antirattle knob snugs the rack up in the hitch super tight. Having the cable lock and hitch lock included and keyed the same makes it easy to lock the bikes up when you stop for dinner. The folding feature uses pins and clips instead of the switches found on some other racks. The pins and holes were a bit tough to get aligned at first. I had to ask my wife to lift up on the end of the rack just a hair to get the pin started. She got chain grease on her and I quickly learned that asking for her help was not a good solution to my pin alignment problem. So I grabbed my drill and a bit that was sized the same as the pin hole and cleaned out the holes. About one minute later the pin was sliding in and out perfectly and my wife will never get greasy again. In a nutshell this rack is not the lightest, not the easiest and not the prettiest, but I love it. It is easy enough to use that it is not a hassle, it locks to keep the bikes safe, is a great price for the features and it is solid, very solid. You can see in the pictures that I have used this rack extensively and it still is working great.

Bought to carry two 60 pound e-bikes on our class C RV and it worked great.

This bike rack works great for our 2 Lectric 2.0 e-bikes. We mount it on our 2019 Honda Ridgeline. It folds up nicely when it’s on the truck and we are using our bikes. The locking mechanisms work well also. I contacted support for a smaller hook arm to clamp B over the bike frame. They knew exactly what I needed and shipped it - no problem.



by:

I was surprised with how soon the rack arrived after I ordered it. Odelia was very helpful in placing my order and followed up with a couple of emails.
The rack was packaged very nicely. Assembly was easy. My only nit was labeling of the front & back of the rack in the instructions was confusing. The back of the rack should be farthest from the vehicle and the front closest to the vehicle. Otherwise the assembly instructions were clear and assembly was smooth. I’m using this rack with a 41 pound e-bike.
I’ve driven it around the neighborhood and I can’t wait until the COVID emergency is over to take a road trip with my bike using the rack.



by:

Great communication from seller. Fast shipping, particularly since it's free. Item arrived and was in good shape. Heavy and awkward to carry so be careful how far you have to lift it. Don't ask your wife to pick it up. Not very difficult to put together, although slowed down by cumbersome instructions with poor pictures and it took time to identify each part as the correct one. Good quality unit, although some packing styrofoam was glued to bars leaving several stretches of white, sticky goo on the upwards facing bars where the tire holders slide. Makes adjusting the tire holders more difficult. Overall a good product and handles the 4 bikes well. Will see over time how it holds up to consistent use.



by:

Just received my Hollywood Rack last week and put it together and used it this weekend. The rack seems solid, easy to load bikes and the rack seems to secure the bikes well to the rack. I have not driven far with 4 bikes yet but with 2 bikes I've had no issues at all. Looking forward to years of service with the rack.

The rack arrived on time and in good shape from etrailer.com, no problems at all.



by:

This is there perfect rack for our two fat tire e-Bikes. Assembly was extremely easy, and the quality of this rack is excellent. I highly recommend this rack for fat tire e-bikes!



by:

This rack has all the bells and whistles of a much more expensive rack at a significantly better price. My 14 year old son put it together easily from the pictures (I had a harder time following the instructions) but between the two of us it didn’t take more than 30 minutes. It is super solid, holds the bikes very securely, and I love the built in locks for each bike, which you pay a lot more for with other brands. It’s just really solid and well designed. The photo shows the 2 rack configuration on my 2018 Honda Pilot. The rear door is able to open without having to put the rack down. My son and I are exploring the great mountain biking around Fort Collins and it’s great to have the bikes on in a minute and go. Thanks Noah for making this suggestion!

I've only just received my HR1400 Hollywood rack, assembled it, installed in on my car, and loaded it with 4 of our bikes, but I'm very impressed so far. It's exactly what I was hoping for. It is heavy, but it's extremely sturdy. I found it very easy to mount on my car and remove when I do so taking advantage of the fact it breaks into 2 pieces (which it does very easily). I'm looking forward to using it on our next outing.

By the way, etrailer.com rocks! You had the best price on this rack and it was sitting on my doorstep 2 days after ordering (ordered Wed afternoon and delivered Friday).

In addition, I had no issues with the packaging or the contents being damaged as a few others have mentioned in reviews.

THIS RACK SAVED OUR e-BIKES FROM GETTING STOLEN!
The would-be thieves cut the cable that I used to secure the bikes together but they couldn't release the locking hooks on the bike rack to be able to remove the bikes. The straps holding the wheels to the brackets were cut, but they really aren't necessary for holding the bikes on the rack anyway.
This rack is so simple to use and has performed flawlessly every time.
We've used it on quite a few trips, one of them was over 5800 miles in 3 weeks! 100% worth the price!

I was looking for a 4 bike hitch mounted rack of this style. My main goal was to have it fit my 05 Jeep Wrangler with 31 x 10.5 tires. I wanted to make sure the rack would rest in the folded up positon when not in use. I also wanted the flexibility to have only a 2 bike mount for when I ride solo.

I emailed etrailer and they were quick with a response and included a video as well. I placed the order a week ago Saturday, and my rack was delivered ahead of schedule. I was blown away by the service I received from etrailer, and am very pleased with the rack. I found it easy to install and it totally does what I need it to do.

Thank you etrailer. Keep up the great job.

I've been using a Yakima RidgeBack 4-Bike for many years however I needed to find a bike rack that would transport my wife's new Trek Verve +2 Lowstep E-Bike. Since it is a Step-through and weighs 52 lbs. with the battery, I was uncomfortable hanging the bike off the RidgeBack. I typically only transport 2 bikes however occasionally need to pack up 3 or 4 bikes. After much research, I decided on the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE4. I loved the fact that I could take off the extension and make it a two back rack and appreciated the price. I was however concerned the E-Bike might be too heavy as the specifications note a 50 lb. per bike limit so I reached out directly to Hollywood Bikes. I asked if they thought it'd be alright to place the E-Bike closest to the vehicle with the battery removed. I heard back from them within 24 hours and they agreed, with the battery removed it would be fine. I ordered the SE4 on Monday morning and it arrived Thursday. It was well packaged and easy to assemble using the instructions. I had absolutely no issues and it went together perfectly. The rack is of very good quality and sturdy even when loaded up. I really like that the bikes can be locked down and everything, including the supplied cable is keyed alike. I was able set it up for only 3 bikes as that is all we're taking to Florida next week. I'll follow up after our trip.

I'm a senior e-biker who wishes to roll back the years, but that isn't possible. I drive a 2020 Chevy Equinox and have two electric bikes, which I had carried on a small rack. I saw the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes and resisted no longer. A few days later, my package was delivered. That night, I read and re-read the assembly instructions. It went together well, with no glitches. The hitch is super sturdy. No wiggle room at all. Once together, I loaded up my heaviest bike, mindful of using one of those metal bars for support since it's a low-step bike. (Remember, I'm a senior. Legs don't swing high like they once did.) Photos accompany them to show how she will ride. This will allow me to explore farther and go places I could not have before I had this rack. I like the ability to flatten it when not in use. This will also allow me to haul my granddaughter's bike together here in South Jersey or, as in "Toy Story," "To infinity and beyond."

Such a fabulous bike rack!! The rack is simple to mount onto the van’s hitch. It’s easy to add or take off the outer rack either before or after putting it on the hitch. The two part design is a great feature for taking a bike to the shop for repair, for when it’s just the two of us, or we can quickly add the second half for two more bikes. It folds up against the back of the van easily and securely. When needed it holds four adult bikes without any problems. Bikes are SO enjoyable to load onto this rack - way better than racks that support the bike by the frame. I have a Y frame bike so it was always challenging to load it onto a traditional rack. The tire supports move to accommodate any size bike. Bikes that have the lower frame get mounted closer to the vehicle for each section of the rack. The rack is stable when driving, even when fully loaded. The locking feature is nice, especially for when we’re away from home and the bikes stay on the rack overnight. Be careful when lifting as the rack itself is heavy.

Love the angled stabilizer. My E-bikes feel very secure on this Hollywood Bike Rack.

Absolute sturdy, easy to assemble, and all parts work perfectly. Will be taking it on a trip to MT and WY with my Aventure and Pace Aventon bikes - I live in the Midwest so I’ll post how well this does when I get back. We are doing the Turkey Tour and I’ll be riding and hunting with Greg from THP.

This rack is heavy, easy to assemble and has zero wobble. The reason I purchased this rack was due to the quality of the rack, but also my last experience with trailer. Great customer service, and if you have a question, it's pretty easy to get hold of a real person!
I actually purchased this for an Ebike.

Excellent bike rack. Easy to put together. Fits perfect with the etrailer curt hitch. This is a heavy duty bike rack, which also means it heavy but still manageable. Using this for my Aventon Ebike.

Let’s be honest. Nobody gets it right all the time. That being said, once again etrailer EXCEEDED my expectations. From navigating their website to receiving the rack, the experience was flawless. With a company this large, I would expect a hiccup from time to time but having done business with them for years and ordering numerous products, their service has always been great. The rack is well made. Assembly was a breeze and took about 15 mins. Excellent product Keep up the good work.

Great bike carrier with a very great price and was delivered super quick! I’ve only had Yakima bike carriers before, but decided to give Hollywood racks a try this time because of the good reviews and more affordable price. It didn’t take long to assemble and it’s a very well made carrier. Very pleased! And you cannot go wrong with buying from etrailer! A+

It's SOLID. It went together relatively easily, all the parts were included, and once we put the two 80 lb bikes on, it still felt solid and secure. Great product. (I also bought the braces for our step-through bikes, and they're great!) Also, etrailer.com chat/email customer service are fantastic! 10/10

Wow. This is a really well thought out rack. As I was assembling it I realized the small things they did to make it easier. An example is using carriage bolts for the arms instead of traditional bolts. It eliminates the need for a second wrench and it also makes it obvious which way they want to install the bolts (nuts down). While this might not mean much or seem like common sense to a lot of folks, I have put together enough things to know it isn't.

One thing to verify is that you're using the "snapper pin" as they call it in the instructions. It is the pin that goes all the way through in the back and keeps the rack from tipping down. I trusted the "front spring pin" a couple of times in assembly without the snapper pin and the rack tilted unexpectedly. It takes both for the rack to work correctly. And on the tip, I am very happy with the clearance of the handlebars and the tailgate opening. My handlebars are 27" across and when mounted the tip of the handlebar grip is about 29" from the rear window. When tipped, the tailgate is still three or four inches away.

I like the fact the rack is "transparent" when folded up to allow the tail lights and license plate to be seen. I looked at the 1up heavy duty, but it was quite a bit more in price and also substantially blocked the tail lights and license plate with the cars I would be using it on when it was folded up. I usually have the rack on a 2015 Subaru Forester and my bike is an Aventon Level 3. It weighs in at 67 pounds. With the battery out it is just under 59 pounds. This was one of the few racks that was rated for the weight and was by far one of the most affordable.

Overall, this seems to be a really superior design at an affordable price. And etrailer had a solid review showing the tilting and different features. This was around my 10th “major” purchase from them and I have been very please with their service and performance every time.

This is a very well made rack. A bit heavy but thats good. Youre not snapping or bending that metal. The locking arms can be a bit tough to get locked down but work fine. I love the anti rattle u bolt, bike stays solid with very little movement on large bumps. The folding feature Is fantastic allowing easier space management for normal use. You do have only a little room for the trunk with it tilted downward but that's not a big issue as yiu can still access it. The click strap for the wheels is also a nice feature for easier securement. Only true negative with the CRV is it blocks the back up camera so you can't see well when you're close to an object. Overall I give this a 9/10.

Assembling the Hollywood rack on my Truck was very easy. Directions were good. I was not sure the hitch assembly was pre bent or a manufacturing problem. Confirmation was sent back to me that it was intended in the design. I’m hooking up with my buddies June 11 for a ride and will be using the rack for my Aventon EMB. I did a test run on loading it with no issues. I recommend anyone who purchases this rack to do the same. I’ll send some photos after the ride.

  • Bike Rack for 2 E-Bikes With Lights and License Plate Holder Rated for Motorhome
    Hi Richard; for your application I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY34RR. This bike rack is motorhome rated, has a capacity of 80 lbs per bike, and includes an LED light bar with stop, turn, and tail light functions. The only thing it is missing is the license plate holder. To add a plate holder you could use the Yakima PlateMate # Y02713 which would allow you to strap it onto the bike rack or even one of the bikes.

  • Will Hollywood Racks Light Bar Work on Destination Bike Racks For Ebikes
    Hi John, The Hollywood Racks Safety LED Light Bar for Bike Racks # HLY54RR won't work on the Hollywood Racks Destination EBike Rack # HLY66ZR. As you mentioned, you wouldn't be able to attach it, though there is an ebike rack it will work with, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR, or the rack and light kit together, part # HLY34RR. That said, since you have the Destination now, you can add lights with the Curt Auxiliary Lights # C53201. This will...

  • Which E-Bike Rack will Work in Hitch of 2013 Ford F-250
    All of our e-bike racks would work great in the 2 inch hitch of a 2013 Ford F-250. The Hollywood Racks part # HLY34RR that you referenced or my favorite the Thule Easy Fold XT part # TH903202 which has a ramp that pulls out to make loading the heavier bikes easier.
