Specs:
Finally, you no longer have to choose between carrying your bikes or your gear. This versatile rack combines a platform-style bike carrier with a cargo basket, giving you the ability to simultaneously transport 2 bikes and 100 lbs of gear with your 2" hitch. This means no more leaving that extra camping gear behind because you want to take your bikes along, and no more switching out your bike rack and cargo carrier for separate use.
Platform-Style Bike Rack
The Sport Rider SE consists of a 2-bike base unit and a removable 2-bike extension unit, allowing you to use the carrier as either a 2-bike rack with the cargo carrier or as a 4-bike stand-alone rack. The 2 pieces also make the rack easy to install because you can slide the base into your hitch and secure it before adding the extension. An anti-rattle system tightens the rack's shank to your hitch receiver to prevent it from rattling around inside the tube.
Locking, Ratcheting Hooks
The Sport Rider SE uses locking frame hooks to secure your bikes. The ratcheting, cushioned hooks easily adjust along the vertical mast and lock securely in place. The release buttons allow each hook to slide up the ratcheting arm for bike removal. The hooks function independently, which means you can position them to carry bikes of different heights.
Adjustable Wheel Hoops
The wheel hoops accommodate bicycles with wheelbases up to 60" by sliding along the horizontal arms. They are secured in place with easy-to-use hand knobs, and the Velcro-like hook-and-loop straps fasten the wheels to the hoops.
If you want to carry a fat bike on the Sport Rider SE, you can replace the rack's wheel hoops with specifically-designed fat bike cradles (sold separately).
Heavy-Duty Cargo Basket
The cargo basket measures 52" long x 15-1/2" wide x 6" tall, giving you plenty of space to haul camping gear or supplies. The raised side rails offer multiple tie-down points, and the included cargo net stretches over your gear to secure it in place.
The carrier can also function as a stand-alone cargo basket. Simply remove the bike rack and insert the basket into your vehicle's 2" hitch, using the included adapter. The cargo basket can carry up to 220 lbs of gear when used as a stand-alone.
Folding, Tilting Design
The rack tilts, with or without bikes loaded, for easy access to your vehicle's rear cargo area. Simply remove the pivot pin, pull the bottom quick-release spring pin, and lower the rack.
The rack also folds up against the back of your vehicle when it's not in use. To raise the rack, just pull the upper quick-release spring pin and lift.
Tool-Free Installation with Anti-Rattle System
The rack installs in your hitch without the need for tools. Simply slide the shank into your receiver until the welded stop plate contacts the hitch. The stop plate saves you from getting on your hands and knees to align the pin holes while inserting the hitch pin. Once the pin is in place, attach the lock pod. Lastly, use the integrated anti-wobble handle on the front of the shank to tighten the rack inside your hitch receiver and prevent it from rattling. A second lever secures the two-bike extension to the base of the rack.
Complete Security for Bikes and Rack
The Sport Rider comes with locks for both the rack and your bikes to deter theft. The lock cores in the frame hooks hold the bike down on the rack and prevent them from moving. Also, the lock pod attaches to the hitch pin to secure the rack to your vehicle. These locks are conveniently keyed alike. For extra protection, the 8' long security cable wraps through the bike frames, connects to the hitch pin, and is secured to the pin by the hitch lock. The extension cable can be added to the 8' cable to help secure 4 bikes to the rack.
Add-On Adapters
If you want to use the rack to transport a kid's bike with 16" or 18" wheels, wheel hoop adapters (sold separately) are available.
If you want to transport 1 recumbent delta trike or 1 recumbent tadpole-style trike with the Sport Rider SE, you can use the HRTRK-ADP adapter (sold separately). Or if you want to transport 1 standard bike and either 1 recumbent delta trike, 1 recumbent tadpole-style trike, or 1 adult trike, then you can use the HRTRK-ADP-2 adapter (sold separately).
Note: The trike adapters can only be used with the Sport Rider SE's two-bike base unit.

etrailer makes the effort to personally email you about product delays and updates - usually I don't care for this service but it was helpful during COVID and with long delays asking if I still wanted to make a purchase. Once item was ready, they contacted me again and things were shipped within a few days of payment. Bike rack is so far built well and all parts are included :) Thanks.
Wanted to provide some feed back after using my 4 bike hollywood rack/cargo carrier for awhile. Bike rack is great. I have been able to haul kids bikes along with ours. No criticism other than I would use something other than hook loop system for tires, but it works. I have only recently tried to use the cargo carrier. A little disappointed. The way it is shaped really limits what I can put on it. Why do they not make them a standard rectangle? I can't fit a cooler, tote, or even my equipment bag because of the narrow 12 inch center section. I can't find a tote that will even fit in the 15"x17" sides. Cargo carrier is currently useless. If I could do it again I would have only bought the 4 bike rack. I know it will not make any difference but I like to express myself at times. Have a great day and put in a good word to the Hollywood engineers on their next cargo design. :)

Very happy with this product. love the versatility. i've used it for 2 bikes, 2 bikes + cargo basket, and cargo basket only. i have it on a subaru forrester 2016.
Bought this and a Hollywood 4 bike rack. The carrier and rack work very well together. Very sturdy and doesn't rattle. Puts the rear end out there but provides awesome storage and carrying ability. Could buy from several sites on the web. CarrieAnne is the main reason I bought from etrailer. Excellent product knowledge awesome attitude and she did exactly what she said she would do and it arrived when she promised. I assumed Amazon Prime was always best but a very competitive price and personal attention as well as the personal assurance of it was what I needed was the clincher.
This is honestly the best bang for your buck! The rack is really solid, the anti-rattle system really works and the fat bike option is a car saver! The bike rack was very easy to put together. The cargo carrier fought back a bit when putting it together but it is really sturdy. We purchased this primarily for out fat bikes and to have extra space outside our Crosstrek. Cant wait to take the bikes out later, get them all dirty and NOT have to put the muddy front tires in the car!
Unbelievable the way it tightens down to hitch. Bike racks are both great quality. I’d suggest this product to anyone that needs to haul bikes especially those with 2 inch hitch and rv
Well I had to think about this one before I bought it because of the price but it looked to be the only one that would work for us (my bike has a long wheelbase). And the folks ar etrailer have never sent anything that was not quality. I was not disappointed. The product description tells you all about the bike rack and I can tell that it is heavy duty and VERY well made. If you only occasionally haul lightweight bikes around you may want to consider something less expensive but if you do serious bike hauling over rough roads this rack is well worth the money. The rack folds up out of the way in seconds and folds down to give access to the back hatch on an SUV. It took about forty five minutes to put together but if you lay all the parts out and have the right tools at hand like you’re supposed to it should take less than twenty. Having put it together once I think I could do it in less than ten minutes. You will need a 3/4” and a 17mm wrench and a philips screw driver. In short, this is an extremely well made, quality bike rack that is well worth the money. As always, I am happy with the folks at etrailer.
Awesome rack system. I can hold all 4 bikes (an Electra cruiser, two commuter bikes and a 29er MTB bike) and it does so quietly, stably, and securely. It clears my driveway apon both out and in without a scrape.
Lowell R - 09/12/2018I received the product on time and I was able to assemble it without any problems. I am impressed by the quality and I can't wait to take it on my next trip.
Great product. After a year use it's holding great. We have done several long travel, one across the country, and had no issues with it!
Fine product exactly as advertised.
I haven't used this product but easy to put together and it's exactly what I order. It was exactly what I needed.
Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
So far I am very impressed with the quality of this rack. The box arrived undamaged and the rack was in perfect condition. The finish is very nice and robust powder coat. Assembly was a breeze with the included instructions. As other have mentioned it is very strong and a bit heavy.. I am 6'2 200lbs and have no trouble handling it at all by myself as long as I do it in 2 pieces. The rack is very easy to separate into 2 pieces. I haven't used it yet buy I have no doubt it will work splendidly. I hung it using a hitch mount bracket that I ordered from Amazon. I was able to hang it underneath some 12 inch shelves and all I had to do was reverse the 2 bike rear section to allow the rack to clear the shelves. Fits like a glove.
Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
Well we had a long journey before I received this bike rack due to demand and COVID no doubt, but it was worth it. I just received it yesterday and assembled with the great instructions. The product quality and features have so far exceeded by expectations. If you have heavy E-Bikes (up to 80 lbs each) this is the only way to go. Also, I recommend buying the storage cart.....makes it real easy to move around
Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
Bought this rack to haul my new electric bike which required a rack that could hold the extra weight. It was easy to put together. It is heavier than regular bike rack, but I manage and I a woman in my early 60’s. I really love the way my bike sits on rack. I used it all last summer and had no issues. If you have an electric bike, this is rack for you. I bought the adapter for securing a woman’s bike but I didn’t end up using it much. I use old riding gloves where the holding post meets the bike to keep from scratching bike.
Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
2006 Saturn Vue with 2" hitch When I bought the rack in December 2019 there was no Fat Tire specific rack like I see now, so I bought the HR1450 and two fat tire adapters. Still a great value. I had no problem assembling it. It took me a bit to figure out the best positioning of the wheel racks that works best. If you have to have the two adjustment knobs on the left or right sides for both bikes near each other, it can make it very hard to turn them, so place them accordingly.. I added some pipe padding to my clamps. Don't push the clamps down too hard. It can make removal very difficult. The instructions tell you NOT to push down hard but you feel like you have to. I now push them down until they stop, no further. The bikes may not be ROCK stable like this but I have gone on 400 mile mountain drives to Lake Tahoe and back with no issues. The guy in the video actually does it about right if not TOO tight for my liking. Our bikes have a sloped frame. I initally was worrried that the clamp wouldnt grip and but an adapter but it was kinda loose and I didnt think it was very secure. I returned it. I have no issue with our bike frames in the photo. The keyed alike pin lock and clamp locks are nice, The anti-rattle feature is great. You can actually tilt it down two stops so it makes getting these heavy bikes on and off really easy. I am just now posting this review after having gone on 4 long trips and 2 short ones with the rack and our 2 Bikes. It works great. etrailer was great about price matching and shipping.

Bike rack came quick from etrailer . It was packed very well for protection. Easy to put together, instructions were clear for assemble. Rack is well made, I had to use the Swagman bar for my wifes bike for the hook. Swagman bar fits just right to hold bike. Great rack for heavy bikes.
Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
I've had the Hollywood Rack for a year now and couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. We have two eBikes and they fit perfectly and travel securely. We've taken the bikes on several long trips without any issues. The rack looks and operates as good as the day we bought it.
Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
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.

Shipping was faster than expected. Easy to assemble, very sturdy high quality bike rack. I was unsure what to expect but am pleased.
Adam - 07/20/2020Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
It was very difficult finding a bike carrier that handled the weight and the odd wheelbase of our ebikes. This works perfect.
Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
For the price I give it 5 stars although 4.5 is more realistic. So far, I have only used the two bike carrier and have travelled well over 500 miles. I have yet to attach the extended carrier and used it with all four bikes but I doubt that would change any of my opinions. I like that all of the locks are on the same key (hitch bolt, slide down locks and cable lock. I love that the cable lock was included. The hooks are well padded although I can see a bit of black rubbing off on my cross bar. This doesn't bother me. The Velcro straps work well, I just wonder how time and wear will treat them. The carrier is solid and doesn't have any movement up and down, but it does have a little sideways movement. This isn't a big deal to me. Getting the bike closest to the vehicle on the rack is challenging, but doable once you learn how. The ability to tilt the rack away from the vehicle is great and well as the ability to fold it up. It is solidly built and has significant weight to it. The adjustability of the wheel wells is very nice. You should be able to place any style and size bikes on it with no issues (except for fat tire). I've seen some of their older models and this one is much better.
Happy i - 08/30/2020Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
Love our new Hollywood rack! It was easy to assemble. It looks really solid and secure while driving. Bikes are quickly and easily loaded. Can’t wait to try it out with the cargo tray. One minor suggestion, please make the Velcro tire straps a little longer. They barely fit around the bike with the 3” tires.
Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
outstanding turnaround time, had carrier in 4 days. Took an hour to assemble. Perfect for mtn bike and spouses ebike. Used a hitch tightener to stop all rack movement on hitch receiver. They cost about $12.
