Specs:
The Sport Rider Special Edition platform-style hitch bike rack makes it simple to carry 2 recumbent bikes on the rear of your vehicle. The rack has extra-long locking arms to hold recumbents with wheelbases up to 74" long and wheel hoop adapters to accommodate the smaller front wheels on recumbents. 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 SE2 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 74" 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.
The included pair of adapters easily attach to the wheel hoops to accommodate the front wheels of recumbent bikes or 1 kid's bike with 16" or 18" wheels.
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 pint, 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.
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.

Take 2 recumbent bikes to your favorite trail with this hitch bike rack. Ratcheting frame hooks and adjustable wheel hoops securely hold your bikes. Rack tilts back and folds up for storage. Anti-rattle system reduces wobble and sway while driving.The rack works exactly the way we wanted it to. We use it for our tandems and wanted something that was more accessible than on the roof of our vehicle. We like how we can lock the bikes to the unit and lock the rack to the vehicle with the locking pin. Relatively easy set up and quick attachment to the vehicle.
Just want to say how pleased I am with my new Hollywood recumbent bike rack. As the pictures show, it's easy as pie loading, unloading, securing and gaining access to my Subarus Forester's hatch. This thing is a beast in terms of strength and quality. I looked at other options for my recumbent bike where the bike actually mounts facing skyward; to the tune of 800-900 bucks! So I'm glad I found eTrailer.com bc it's the right rack for my application and wallet.
Dan R - 06/19/2015Heavy but works very well and sturdy. Use on truck now but bought a bike bunk to put on trailer and will try it with that next month
This bike rack is well constructed. We carry two sun easy-sports with no problem. The frame is thick enough to minimize any rocking motion and handles the extra weight easily (each bike is 40lbs.). The bikes stay snug and are easy to lock onto the rack.
This bike rack was even better then I thought it would be! Very well made and heavy duty. Went together especially easy and quick. Instructions are easy to follow. The rack fits my wife's long wheel base recumbent easily and still has room to grow. I put both my Rans crank forward and the recumbent on and fits perfectly. Easy to load and unload. Now we can head to more riding areas. I love it! Working with etrailer was great and they had it to my house in record time!
Bought this rack a year ago and love it. We have a long and a short wheelbase recumbent and they fit great. No more removing wheels from the bikes, just easy on and easy off. I've got a picture that was taken before I had the bikes centered on the rack. It's not a great picture but you get the idea.
a Very well thought out rack for my very long recumbent ! Also holds My wife's V frame. Stable and sturdy built. One of two racks that would accommodate My Gold rush, this is the better of the two. Would totally recommend.
I just assembled this rack and it seems to be very well made. It hasn't actually been used yet but I am sure that it will suit our needs well on both our SUV and motorhome. I like how solid and stable it feels when mounted. We have conventional bikes and a recumbent so this configuration is perfect since we'll only be traveling with two at any given time. The only minor negative is the fact that the instructions contain some errors (e.g. to lock the hooks, the key rotates counterclockwise not clockwise as stated). Also, the references to "inside" and "outside" for wheel holder installation on the passenger side are reversed. This, of course, is obvious as you assemble it but the info could be cleaned up. The illustrations help to clarify the erroneous text. Looking forward to our first trip with it in a couple weeks.
The bike rack is superior to other ones available. It takes seconds to load and unload the bikes securely. When not in use it folds up nicely. You will love it. We do!' It is perfect and keeps the bikes stable when on the road.
Adam from etrailer did an excellent job directing me to this Hollywood bike rack. The product was initially shipped with a missing part,,, and etrailer quickly rectified the situation by sending a completely new rack. The Hollywood rack was easy to assemble, is very sturdy, and perfectly supports our needs. Great job and great product.
This bicycle rack is the solution for transporting my Surly Big Dummy. The rack is sturdy and easy to use.
This bike rack is very sturdy. Assembly was straightforward. Packaging was impressive especially considering the weight. Mounting into the hitch receiver is solid. The flexibility to handle a std bike and recumbent is exactly what I needed. I am extremely happy with my purchase and the service from etrailer.
Larry P - 09/08/2018Pro: Holds a heavy cargo bike with a long wheelbase. Con: The foam padding on the arm holders broke apart on our first road trip and scratched both bikes. Very cumbersome to adjust wheelbase. Heavy with cheap velcro straps and foam padding. I've owned several racks over the past few decades and this by far the worst. The only benefit is that it can accommodate a heavy bike with a long wheelbase. It's been over a year since I purchased this so maybe there are other nicer options out there that will fit a cargo bike. I would recommend looking at other products. Though Etrailer customer service and transaction was very good.
We use this for our mountain bike tandem on a Toyota Tacoma. Easy to put the bike on. Easy to remove from truck if I need to haul stuff.
I like your website because you show the people who handle my order but I do not like your music your company plays while I’m hold on the phone waiting to speak to a company representative.
Totally happy with the quality of this bike carrier. We needed a "specialty" carrier because on of our bikes is a recumbent and the wheel span is much longer than normal. This carrier handles our regular and specialty bike and we couldn't be happier.
Jim - 09/11/2017Incredibly fast & professional
I bought this rack to carry a diamond frame bike and a long wheel base recumbent bike. Very few are available. The quality of this rack is very nice. Instructions are great. I have bought from trailer before and went back to them for this order. Quick shipping and quality products. I gave this 4 stars because of the process of placing the bikes on the rack. I have to move the top bar that holds the bike down almost to the point of removal to get the first bike in the rack or take several other steps to lower the center bar, etc. Not difficult to do and the rack is solid. I am very pleased with the rack.
We are very pleased with our purchase over the past year. We have use the SE-2 2 bike rack on many day trips across Michigan. This is a great stable and well built rack to transport a recumbent and a standard size bikes. The bikes are very secure and ride well behind our Subrau Outback.
Have yet to use rack. Assembly was easy, great directions quality is very highly at least on par with Yakima and Thule.
Love my new rack! With the two-bike extension, I can now carry my recumbent plus my wife's and kids' bikes all together. Easy to assemble and very adaptable--securely holds my 6ft+ recumbent all the way down to my five-year-old's bike.
It works very well for me. I carry 1 or 2 mountain bikes - one of which has 3 inch wide tires. It has been to Guaymas Sonora Mexico and back.
I order this product on Tuesday, after learning a order the wrong product from another vendor. It was to small for my recumbent bike which is very long. As I mention earlier, Tuesday with free shipping, it arrived Friday on the same week, from the Great State of Missouri to DC metro area. Saturday, it was on my vehicle with my recumbent bike. I had a Great 4 of July Weekend. Thank you, very much. Respectfully, DFTD.
