Thule Bike Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes
Bought this Thule bike adapter bar for my wife's Mango Longboard fat-tire beach cruiser. We already had the Thule 2-bike carrier, not sure what model number. The bar works fine for hanging the bike on the carrier, but we haven't traveled with it yet; it will get a 1000+ mile trial run soon. With this bar and this particular bike the bike's front wheel hangs too low to leave it on the bike. It's a quick-release style wheel, so not a big deal to remove, but the wheel takes up extra space inside the vehicle. I don't like that the weight of the bike is being held by the handle bar post and the seat, but that's just the nature of these adapters and there is really no other way to put this type of bike on this type of carrier without it. The bar is rated for 50 lbs. and the bike weighs 37 lbs., including the front wheel, so I expect this bar to work fine for us.
Kat at etrailer was very specific and knowledgeable as to what I needed for my car. The installation was done by a mechanic but I probably could have figured it out. My husband was grateful that he didn't have to install it but he was super impressed on how it looked and its sturdy strength. Haven't had a nice day in Texas since it was installed so I will report back as to how the bike rides on the rack. Overall, very impressed. Shipping was fast too!

Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar
Well designed product for my 2015 Ford Edge. The installation was fairly simple....the videos helped. The 2 bikes were secure and safe with the locks. A solid choice for bike trips.
Worked very well on my 2016 Ford Edge. We took our bikes on vacation and had no issues. I have not tried putting it on by myself but think I may need assistance. My husband was able to get it on the vehicle alone.

Thule Passive Security Strap for Trunk Mounted Bike Carriers
Easy to install (and uninstall) and does a great job of keeping my bike stable and sound as I travel with in in my baby Prius. I highly recommend! I'm also glad that I got the security strap to make sure that I can keep the frame safe from theft.
ALL is excellent.

Kuat Ubar Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes
I just purchased a new bike rack for 3 bikes, two of which are women's bikes that would not as have fit properly. I'm relatively new to biking and i never would have thought about an adapter bar. The Kuat Ubar is easy to use, light fit perfectly with the rack. The picture isn't great, but the two bikes closest to the camera have the Ubars in use. Everything about this purchase from eTrailer has been perfect. I got a personalized recommendation (for this rack) when I submitted a question and this was easily the best online shopping experience ever. This was my first purchase here yet I was made to feel like I've walked into a store where I've been a regular for years. I'll recommend you to everyone I can!
I was grateful to so many others who wrote reviews on this website and praised the customer service. I was looking for a trailer to haul 5 bikes including womens and kids bikes and have it work on my husbands Jeep wrangler, my daughters Subaru Outback, occasionally an RV and mainly my Toyota Sienna that doesn't even have a hitch yet. With so many options online and seemingly different products for each one, I wanted help to know if there was any product that could help me meet all me needs, so I decided to call Etrailer and get some help. They were amazing just like everyone said! He recommend the Yakima Ridgeback which would meet all our different hitch needs and the best selling Kuat Ubar adaptor bars that would make it work for our women's and kids bikes and different hitch needs. And the best surprise of all is that he told me they even carried hitch packages for my Toyota! I hadn't even expected that. The quote I received from my Toyota dealer for installing a hitch was going to cost me over $1000! But Etrailer sent me one for under $200! I am excited to get our whole family out biking more together this summer and thanks to etrailer we got everything we needed and all shipped to Alaska for only a hundred bucks in less than 2 weeks! The man on the phone explained how my husband could install the hitch himself, but after looking at it yesterday, he decided to take it to a local shop where they can raise the whole car for the install. But that will still be cheaper than what I thought I would have to pay before. We are planning to get the hitch on our van this week and try out the bike trailer by the weekend. Thanks for everything etrailer!!
