Same-key locks keep your bikes and rack secure.Haven't used yet, however, it arrived two days after order, was not expecting until several days later. Easy assembly and seems solid. Will follow with additional review after using. Thanks Etrailer. 837342
Rack was delivered early in time for us to take on our camping trip. Assemble was straight forward however I encountered a few challenges when putting our 2 e-bike on it. I’d wanted to put my fat tire bike on the inside since it is considerably heavier than my wife’s Trek. Unfortunately the handlebar of my bike touched the rear window of my 5th wheel so I had to switch positions. To get the hooks to fit properly I had to switch the long and shorts hooks. When all was done, everything worked great. I did try to fold up the rack but couldn’t get the pin to come through. I didn’t want to force it so I’ll work on that problem when I get back home. 847508

After upgrading to e-bikes, I ordered from etrailer, the Swagman E-Spec Electric 2-Bike Rack for 2” hitch. This was to replace the lighter weight 2-bike Swagman rack (also purchased from etrailer??) on my 2017 Honda Ridgeline pickup. The rack arrived via UPS on time and in perfect condition! I was amazed at the quality of packaging Swagman utilizes. No styrofoam!! All parts were separated, cushioned and secured from movement by die-cut cardboard pieces that would make an origami instructor proud!! Un-boxing was effortless. Provided assembly instructions were clear and complete. From a previously viewed etrailer video, I opted to first place the bike rack’s 2” shank into the receiver on my truck and assemble the rack in place. Assembly took around 30 minutes! Mounted on the truck the rack looks great!! In the “folded-up” position, you can still partially open the Ridgeline’s bi-opening tailgate. But use caution to prevent scratching the tailgate’s paint on the steel wheel supports. It’s much easier to just pull the locking pin, rotate the rack down to the “carry” position, do your tailgate stuff, then lift the rack back up and re-pin it to be on your way. With the Swagman rack down in the “carry” position, and the vertical j-hooks’ mast laying horizontal, you can lower the Ridgeline’s tailgate, or use it’s swing-opening feature without fear of striking or scraping paint. My rating of etrailer’s offering of the Swagman E-Spec Electric 2-Bike rack is 12 out of 10 Stars!!! 828622
Haven't tried bikes on rack yet as they are on backorder but rack is great. Arrived in a few days, well packaged, assembling was a breeze with clear instructions so took less than an hour. Heavier and more sturdy than I expected. Fits easily in hitch and I love the locking pin. 828052
We are putting this rack on the back of our Honda C-RV which will be flat towed behind our motor home. This rack was very reasonably priced and fits our needs exactly. We will be carrying two RAD power eBikes. They each weigh 68 lbs each. This rack is rated to hold two 70 lib bikes. We did have to buy fat tire cradles to accommodate our tires. That was an extra $50 per bike. This is NOT etrailers policy, it’s the way the Swagman Company does it. It would be nice if you could have a choice of cradle depending upon the bike you want to carry. However, the rack is SOLID, the quality is outstanding and it was easy to put together. The eTrailer video was helpful in determining the best way to unload and load the bikes. After a test drive with the bikes loaded on, we could not feel any sway and the car did not seem burdened by the extra weight. We think we made a great investment because the rack is so much easier than folding the bikes (yes, they fold into a little square) to load into a car. The pictures were taken before we realized that we can fold the handlebars down. That will make it much easier to put the cover on them and make the profile lower. We ARE happy. 825912
I purchased the Swagman E-Spec electric bike rack to use on back of our fifth wheel. My wife and I went on our first trip to Cape Cod this past weekend and the rack worked as advertised. Things I liked about the rack are; easy to assemble, easy to load our two hybrid bikes, RV approved if you use the additional bolt, bikes are very secure on the rack, and one key locks the bikes plus the hitch bolt. So far, I'm very satisfied with the rack after one trip. 816420
Swagman EBike carrier was delivered promptly, all the parts were there, the directions were complete - with English words, not just confusing icons. Our pictures don't show EBikes. We wanted to make sure that the front of vehicle location would allow them to fit.....Now we will order our new bikes. I've always been a fan of Swagman with their attention to detail and good fitting, well engineered design. 815158
Review from a similar E-Spec in Hitch Bike Racks
The swagman ebike carrier is as described. It’s a heavy duty carrier that will carry 2 ebikes behind my fifth wheel. I’ve only assembled it and installed my ebikes to make sure everything works for my 2 Surface604 bikes. I especially like the heavy construction and locking pin and slides. The locking pin screws into the receiver so there is no movement. They also supply heavy duty fasteners and a bolt to replace the pin to make it even more rigid. The bolt does eliminate the ability to fold the platform, but I prefer the rigidity that it provides. It’s early, but I like it so far. 641689

Review from a similar E-Spec in Hitch Bike Racks
This bike rack has been perfect for our full-time RV travels. It carries both of our e-bikes at the back of our travel trailer. We can easily remove it, if needed, and place it in the truck’s trailer hitch if we want to drive somewhere far away to begin our bike ride. The one thing that could be improved is the tightening knobs and stops for keeping the bike wheels the proper distance from each other. For peace of mind check them regularly. I placed metal hose clamps at the ends of both bars to ensure staying power (otherwise vibration could possibly shimmy the wheel holder off of the end of the bar - it happened to us!). Still a great product. 784033

Provides a steady, sturdy ride for both of our Pedego Ebikes on the back of a 2017 Highlander. 739206
Review from a similar E-Spec in Hitch Bike Racks
Went together smoothly. Have not used yet but our juiced scramblers fit perfectly. Only reason 4 stars is having to pay an extra $100 for the fat tire chocks and no use for the included small chocks. 696209

I am very pleased with my purchase, and the treatment I received to ensure this was the correct hitch for my vehicle. 659355
Review from a similar E-Spec in Hitch Bike Racks
Love our new ebike carrier! Works perfect placed on our 5th wheel hitch. It's secure, solid and handles a 58lb and 48lb ebike beautifully. We're grateful the bikes don't bounce around when we're on the road like many we've seen, and fold up when at camp/RV sites. Yay Swagman, great design! 721753
Review from a similar E-Spec in Hitch Bike Racks
etrailer customer service and representative were excellent. Very informative and helpful during the ordering of this unit via phone. Bike rack arrived on time as indicated and was packaged very well with no damage or missing parts. Installation instructions were thorough and the installation process went smooth with no issues. However, would recommend making one modification to the installation instructions. In step 4 - installation of the ratcheting upright arm, I would suggest installing it opposite of what the instructions say. The instructions indicated to install the upright arm so that it folds to the left when looking at the back of the vehicle. The problem with this installation alignment is that the locks on the hooks are positioned facing toward the vehicle making it difficult to lock & unlock the hooks. Also attaching the upright arm in accordance with the instructions requires the longer hook to be slide on the arm 1st and the short one second. This alignment makes it difficult for loading and unloading bikes. By installing the ratcheting upright arm so that it folds to the left resolves these issues providing the advantages of: 1. Hook lock face away from the vehicle making it easier to lock and unlock the hooks. 2. The long hook which goes on the arm 1st is not closest to the vehicle allowing the bike closes to the vehicle to be loaded 1st and the bike on the outside loaded 2nd. Unloading is also easier allowing the bike on the out side to be unloaded 1st and then the bike closest to the vehicle unloaded 2nd. Bike rack seems very sturdy and rugged but have not had the opportunity yet to use it. Will report back with pictures once it is used. Plan to use the bike rack on the back of a SUV, Truck, and Fifth Wheel to carry an E-Bike and regular bike. 616948

Review from a similar E-Spec in Hitch Bike Racks
The rack was very easy to assemble. Installing the bike was a breeze. I live on the north end of the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington State. Today, I am taking my Pedego Interceptor down to the Discovery Trail starting in Cape Disappointment Park. The trail is about a 19 mile round trip from the Lighthouse, thru the dunes up to the point where Lewis and Clark first saw the Pacific Ocean. Pics from my last ride on the trail are also attached. Riding around my neighborhood is OK, but now I have access to several National and State Parks along the coast of Washington and Oregon. Opening up a whole new world to me as my official retirement will begin on June 30. Love my new Swagman E-Spec bike rack. Tony 510229
Review from a similar E-Spec in Hitch Bike Racks
Nice firm rack. I have another different brand that is very wobbly. The pin, with lock, was too long for my truck. The trailer plug was too close to the receiver. The second shorter pin worked but didn’t fit the lock. A very easy machining on a lathe fixed that. This is the best rack I’ve ever owned and I’ve had a few. 652563
Review from a similar E-Spec in Hitch Bike Racks
This is a great bike rack for heavy E-bikes! I had one problem that should be addressed. The adjustable wheel mounts attach to the square tubes with only a plastic friction clamp. Our bikes, and a lot of bikes nowadays, have a sloping top tube. When the bikes are clamped in the rack the center clamp puts a force on the mounts that can, and did, slide the mount off the square tube! I drilled and installed a 10/22 bolt in each mount clamp to prevent this from happening again. See pictures... The white plastic half-pipes are guides to roll the ebikes up from the side. 786475
Review from a similar E-Spec in Hitch Bike Racks
Love my new bike carrier! Quality materials and easy assembly. It's awkward trying to secure a step-through frame. I prefer nyloc nuts over lock washers but that's an easy fix. Now I'm looking for a cover to protect the bikes from the weather. 511739
GARY S - 05/21/2019Review from a similar E-Spec in Hitch Bike Racks
Received the bike rack today 06/28/19. Found it easy to assemble, but putting it on the receiver I found the receiver lock bolt was an odd size 7/8th to small and 15/16th to big. If your supply and of size bolt,please supply a wrench that works! 664272
Review from a similar E-Spec in Hitch Bike Racks
I am very satisfied with this bike rack.Our first trip was over 500 miles and it performed flawlessly. The reason for 4 and not five stars is that I tried to reverse the hooks 180' but the rumber protection was hitting the rachet. I will figure something out. I have a Rad Mini and a converted mountain bike and it handled the weight with no problem. p.s. Always remove your batteries for transporting. 562071
