Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
We needed a bike carrier that could handle our heavy 55 lb e-bikes. Looks like this one will do it just fine. I like the built in locking cable feature, and locked hitch bolt. Folds up nice, out of the way, when not in use.
I purchased a Pedego electric bike for Debera for her birthday. Our old rack wasn't built for the weight of the Pedego. After checking on line, I seen that the Yakima HoldUp 2 was adequate for the amount of weight we had to deal with. We placed an order sunday night an by tuesday afternoon we had our new rack. I have a Toyota 4Runner, which was not on the list of vehicles that would except this rack. After trying to install the rack, I could see that the spare tire is right up against the back side of the receiver on the vehicle. I did a slight modification of cutting 3/4 inch. off the backside of the racks 2X2 inch. male portion, allowing the rack to slide in far enough to let the racks locking pin to be inserted and screw in place, holding the rack very snug. The slight modification in which I did, did not hinder the structural integrity of the unit, what so ever. We have gone a total of four rides with the new rack an have been very pleased with its performance. The rack holds tight to the vehicle, the bikes have very little movement, the single key locking system is convenient. So to sum it up, we are very pleased with your service and the service of the product in which we have purchased from you, 5 stars all the way!

Yakima FullSwing Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Swing Away
Installation today was pretty straight forward. We had no problems. It may require two people to install the bike rack onto the hitch because it is pretty heavy. But, as a 41 yo woman I was able to attach the bike rack to the hitch by myself. We haven't used it yet to transport our bikes, but I imagine that will be seamless too.
This is the best rack I’ve seen or used for being able to have full access to the trunk / back hatch of the vehicle. That said, it is very heavy and an awkward shape so storing it when not in use is no treat if you’re short on space. All in all, probably the best rack I’ve seen.
What our customers are saying:
"I recently purchased a trailer hitch and a bike rack from you. I could not be more satisfied with the products and your service. I have searched for a couple of years for the right product at the right price and your company is the best. I just wanted to tell you that when people ask me about the hitch, I will definitely tell them to contact you. Thank you."
