Your e-bike matters, how you carry it should matter too. This rack holds your bike by the wheels, so you're not scuffing paint every time you load up. And it tilts, so you can grab snacks or gear from the trunk without taking your bike off.
The Crosstrack has pivoting upright arms with tire grips that grab your bike firmly by the wheels, not the frame. These grips allow you to load and unload quickly, and they won't scratch or scuff the paint. The grips have slots on the inside so you can adjust them to fit your wheel size.
Grabbing gear from the trunk doesn't mean unloading your bike. You can tilt the Crosstrack away from your vehicle by pulling the handle and gently lowering it down. Need snacks? A jacket? No problem. Grab what you need and get back on the road. And when your bike isn't loaded, the rack folds up against your vehicle. This takes up less space, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage.
The Crosstrack installs into a 1-1/4" hitch using a threaded anti-rattle hitch pin. Slide the shank into the receiver, insert the pin, and tighten it down. This pulls the rack snug against the inside of the hitch to reduce sway and rattle while you drive. It also includes a 2" adapter so you can switch between hitch sizes without changing racks.
The rack includes locks for your bikes and the rack, so you can step away from your vehicle for a bite to eat or leave it in the parking lot overnight. The cable lock wraps through your bikes' frame and the rack, and the locking pin secures the rack to your hitch. Both locks are keyed alike so you only need 1 key for the rack.
If you leave everything on the trail and are completely gassed when you're done cycling, you're not going to want to lift your bike onto a rack before heading home. The Crosstrack Ramp (HLY39RR - sold separately) lets you roll your ride into place and hit the road.
When you're hauling your bike, staying visible matters. This LED bar (HLY79RR - sold separately) lights up your brake signals, turn indicators, and flashers, so even if your ride runs past sunset, other drivers know exactly where you are and what you're doing.
Note: This rack is not compatible with bikes with fenders.

Yes, the tilt is awesome David! What kind of rider are you, more the easy going trails, or are you out there speeding past trees feeling the wind in your face type of rider? I am easy trails for now, but the more risk I have at getting hurt the more fun I have, but I need a better bike first =)

Picking out the right rack takes some time and research, happy to hear it exceeded your expectations Peter! Do you have a specific trail you like to ride? My granddaughter just got her first big kid bike with gears, we have been hitting up the paved trail parks here in Missouri.

Glad you are happy with it so far, Alvis! And nice bike! I had a Specialized road bike back in the early 2000s and really liked it. Did the Tour de Sewer on it a few times in Southern California. Have fun out there and let us know if there is anything we can help with down the road!

I am very sorry to hear this Edward, and would like to dig a little deeper on why this is. What hitch do you have on your vehicle? There should be a sticker on it with this information.
