Powered Bike Rack for E-Bikes

Saris Door County

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).


Saris Door County

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.


Saris Door County Lights

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.


Adjustable Arms with Frame Clamps

Saris Door County

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.


Saris Door County

The arms are detachable so you can reposition them anywhere along the upright tube to fit bikes of any frame style or shape.


Curved Trays for Easy Loading

Saris Door County

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.


Saris Door County

Ratcheting wheel straps with quick-release levers secure your bike's wheels to the trays.


Foot Pedal for Easy Tiliting

Saris Door County

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.


Saris Door County

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.


Folds for Easy Transport and Compact Storage

Saris Door County

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.


Saris Door County

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.


Complete Security for Bikes and Rack

Saris Door County

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.


Saris Door County

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.

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



by:

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.



by:

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!



by:

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.



by:

The electric lift allowed me to load my ebike without extra help. Highly recommend



by:

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.



by:

Really enjoy the ease of loading my bike. Enjoying the quickness and ability to load by myself a heavy bike.

  • Recommended Swing-Away Bike Rack For Two 55lb E-Bikes
    The only bike rack that's going to be able to swing out of the way to open the rear doors and still have enough capacity for your 55lb e-bikes is the RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # RKY10002. This bike rack has a swing arm that will allow you to move the bikes over the the passenger side and open both rear doors with the bikes still in the rack. It has a 60lb per bike capacity and also includes integrated bike lock cables to prevent theft. It doesn't have an easy load feature...

  • Comparing e-Bike Racks Compatible with Lectric XP 2.0 Step-Thru Bikes
    I have a few different e-bike racks for you to check out and the differences really just boil down to the weight of the rack and the features it comes with. The first recommendation I have is the Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack # HLY66ZR which is the most cost-effective of the 3 but it weighs in at 46 lbs and it doesn't have any wheels on the rack itself so you'll have to hoist it into your hitch receiver on your own. We do have a customer that submitted a review photo (see attached)...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for Fat Tire E-Bikes
    I have a comparable bike rack that will work with fat tire e-bikes but the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # SAR42RR does not have an adapter or longer straps to allow the use of fat tire bikes. Instead you will want the Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # HLY66ZR. This rack can fit tires up to 4-1/2" wide without the need to purchase an extra adapter. It has a 70 lbs per bike capacity and only weighs 60 lbs. Similar to the Saris...

  • What is Needed to Use Saris Door County Bike Rack on 2018 Dodge Journey
    So good news is yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76225 that fits your 2018 Dodge Journey is 100 percent compatible with the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - Electric Lift - 2" Hitches # SAR42RR. You could use the Dodge wiring harness, assuming it is a 7-way, but my guess is it's going to be quite pricey compared to aftermarket parts (as is the norm). But to answer your question regarding what is needed for your '18 Journey for the electrical connections,...

  • 7-Way Extension For Use With Saris Door County Bike Rack
    Happy to help you out, and the 7-way extension Evangeline used in the video on the 4Runner of the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR is the TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension # TLW6036. This is a total of 42 inches long, which may be a bit too long for your application so I think the better option is the 32 inch long TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension # TLW6028.

  • Does The Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR Fit All 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers
    Hi David, The Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR does require a 2" trailer hitch receiver tube opening in order to mount. Hitch pin holes for a 2" hitch are typically 5/8" in diameter. The anti-rattle hitch pin lock # SA3022 included with this rack has a 7/16" thickness and threads into the shank of the rack to clamp it to the receiver tube and prevent any movement/rattling. As long as you have a 2" trailer hitch receiver you'll be able to use the Saris Doo County...

  • Does 7-Way of ETBC7L Have to be Mounted to Fascia Using Draw-Tite Hitch 76225
    Greatly appreciate the nice words, and I wish I could be as helpful here, but the 7-way of the # ETBC7L does have to be mounted to the fascia of your 2018 Dodge Journey when installing the Draw-Tite # 76225. The reason for that is how this specific hitch installs, directly behind the bumper and with the receiver dropping down. So there isn't enough room for a second bracket to stick out either forward or backwards for the bracket of the 7-way to latch onto. There also isn't enough space...

  • What E-Bike Carrier Do You Recommend For 2013 Itasca Navion iQ Motorhome And A Toyota 4Runner
    I took a look at all of our hitch bike racks rated to carry e-bikes and are motorhome compatible. We only have one rack that weighs under 40 lbs, secures the bikes by the wheels, and is motorhome compatible. It is the rack you mentioned in your question, the Saris SuperClamp HD 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount, part # SAR44VR. Our next best option is the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount, part # KU84FR. For starters it is motorhome compatible....

  • Will the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar Work with Lectric XP 2.0 E-Bike
    If you're using the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SA3040 on a Lectric XP 2.0 E-Bike with a platform style rack then there will be no issues but if you're using it on a hanging style rack then you will be way over capacity. The hanging style racks won't work with e-bikes anyhow due to capacity. If the handlebar post and seat post are between 19-25" apart then fit won't be an issue. If you need a platform style rack, the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part...

  • What E-Bike Rack will Fit My Travel Trailer and Fifth-Wheel Trailer?
    I have a great electric bike rack solution for you. Unfortunately, the Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR is not approved for fifth-wheel trailers or travel trailers. However, we have one that is compatible with both. For that route, I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # S94FR. The E-Spec is built for brute strength to withstand the added torque and force exerted on the rack when mounted on a fifth-wheel and travel trailer. It also comes with...

    The Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 can only be used on passenger vehicles. For a 2 bike rack for electric bikes that is compatible with your 2021 Georgetown 7 Series GT7 I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR. This bike rack is rated for motorhome use and can handle up to 80 lbs per bike. Unfortunately, there are no options with a ramp like the Thule for your motorhome. However, if loading and unloading is a big concern we do have the Saris Door County Bike Rack...

There is no way to to secure any of the ramps we have to the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR and Hollywood Racks does not currently offer a ramp for their racks.

  • What Type of Trailer Wiring Does Saris Door County Bike Rack Need for 2019 Toyota Sienna SE
    The lighting of the Saris Door County Bike Rack for E-Bikes part # SAR42RR does require a 7-way connector installed on the tow vehicle. Now there is a 7-way kit that fits your 2019 Toyota Sienna with the part # TK87FR but since you only need the taillight wiring and not a brake controller (for trailer brakes), it would be most cost effective to go with the 4-way kit part # 118648 and then use the 7-way adapter part # 37185 instead. There wouldn't be any ground clearance issues with this...

If you have a 2" hitch installed, there is a way that you can measure your setup to make sure you have rear bumper clearance.

    The only bike rack that we currently offer that has lights already installed on it is the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR. This bike rack is a frame mount design so it won't affect your fenders, but would require a frame adapter # TH982XT since you have a step-thru frame. It's rated for 60lbs per bike, so it would be more than capable of hauling your 40lb bike. The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202 would be a great option as well, except...

  • Recommended Wiring Kit For Using Saris Door Country Bike Rack With a 2020 Toyota Highlander 4-Way.
    The Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR will require power from a 7-way connector to be able to operate the lift mechanism for the bike rack. A 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L can be added to the 4-way on their 2020 Toyota Highlander to receive power on the charge line circuit to power the lift. This kit does not require connection of the blue brake light wire but I do recommend connecting to the yellow reverse light portion as the Saris rack does have a reverse light built in.
