The Door County powered bike rack makes it easy to load your heavy e-bikes. It draws power from your vehicle's 7-way connector, so you can raise it and lower it with the push of a button. If your vehicle only has a 4-way connector, you can upgrade it with a 7-way kit (ETBC7L - sold separately).
Insert the key to activate power and press the down button on the touch pad to lower the rack. With your bikes loaded, press the up button to raise the rack. In case of emergency, hit the pause button to stop the rack from moving.
To keep you visible and safe, the Door County also has LED brake lights and turn signals, so you don't have to worry about larger bikes blocking your vehicle's tail lights.
Ratcheting clamps with soft pads grab your bikes by the top tubes or downtubes to ensure safe transport with minimal movement and noise. The clamps can be rotated to grab bike frames with angled downtubes.
The arms are detachable so you can reposition them anywhere along the upright tube to fit bikes of any frame style or shape.
Curved wheel trays allow you to easily roll your bikes onto the rack. To load your bikes, raise the front end of your heaviest bike a few inches off the ground and roll it onto the tray closest to your vehicle, then lift and roll your second bike onto the front tray.
Ratcheting wheel straps with quick-release levers secure your bike's wheels to the trays.
The rack tilts down with your bikes loaded. So, whether you're at the trail or the grocery store, you don't have to remove your bikes to access your cargo area.
To tilt the rack, just step on the pedal at the front of the wheel tray and lower the rack carefully with both hands. To return it to the upright position, push the rack back toward the base until it locks into position with an audible click.
The rack folds up for easy transport and compact storage. The wheel tray folds in half and there is a small lever under the base of the rack that lets you fold up the shank. It also includes a storage cover to keep the rack dry and clean while it's in storage.
Built-in wheels let you easily roll the rack, so you don't have to lift it and carry it to your vehicle. You can use the upright mast as a handle to steer the rack as you're rolling it across your garage.
Locks on each frame clamp knob secure your bikes to the rack. The lock on the clamp also prevents the tab at the end of the arm from opening, keeping it secured to the frame.
A locking hitch pin is included to secure the rack to your vehicle. The threaded hitch pin also helps eliminate rattle in the hitch receiver during transport. The locks are keyed alike with the power unit, so you only need to use 1 key.

Connects to your vehicle's 7-way connector.For the price, the quality really isn't there. The tail lights are not weatherproof and use clunky incandescent lamps which are a PITA to remove. The backup light is only implemented on the right side. Both could have had backup lights for the addition of one bulb and the connection of one more wire.
And the mount doesn't really fit my step-through Specialized COMO ebike. If the frame had been slightly higher, that would have helped a lot.
If I'd been able to try the rack locally, I would not have kept it. But the cost to return makes that prohibitive
My husband bought the bike rake specifically to carry out 2 Specialized Ebike’s which weight 62 to 65 pounds each. MWith this rake I don’t have to lift my bike up which is great when I’m alone. The only problem I’ve had is the outside bike straps. One of the ratchets broke and E-Trailer was wonderful in helping get us a replacement. My husband put the new one on. I do have friend’s that will be purchasing them in spring.
The only complaints I have would be to Saris. Placement of the outside straps. It’s awkward latching them. Also, when my husband bought the rack the maximum weight load was more. They changed it to a lower amount.
You get what you pay for! Compared to the leading competitor, this e-bike rack was a breeze in setup and fit our Gazelles bikes like a charm. etrailer, as has been my experience over 10 years, was easy to work with in exchanging this rack and offering a price match credit. We got our product in 2 days from order and everything was in order with the charges. This rack rocks and is very stable. My only gripe is they need more instructional wording in their manuals. Pictures are great but need legends to match the pictures. The etrailer reviews were true to form. Order now folks - you won't be disappointed!
We’ve just completed a 3000+ mile journey with our new bike rack and our heavy e-bikes. LOVE IT! Super sturdy, easy to use and really convenient.
The electric lift allowed me to load my ebike without extra help. Highly recommend
This rack will be a game changer for myself and wife. My wife was very pleased she can now go on rides when I’m on the road working.
Really enjoy the ease of loading my bike. Enjoying the quickness and ability to load by myself a heavy bike.
