The eTrailer has been a God send and we are so grateful. Our son-in-law died from COVID last year which left our daughter and two grand-daughters alone. This eTrailer was a gift which allows the three of them to get out for bike rides whenever they need to “clear their heads” and be refreshed in God’s glorious creation. This is the ONLY three bike carrier we know of… and Thank You for making it available. God bless.

I was excited to get this and eager to just pop it onto my spare tire like it shows in the video. 45 minutes later and I'm resigned to drilling an extra hole where the buttons are in order to tighten the hold over the tire, and chagrined that I had to "rear" my smaller bike frame angled upwards in order to seat it on the red rack receivers. This was because there wasn't enough room vertically on the frame or horizontally on the frame. Not sure how I would have been able to prepare for that, maybe there is some comment about smaller bike frames somewhere? One strap to secure the bikes is not enough in this situation, so things were strapped every which way, including the front tire of the bike so it wouldn't wobble everywhere. The bike and rack made it home for the maiden 60 mile highway trip, but I was not totally confident with it.

I do not want you to not feel safe to use the bike rack. From what you are describing it sounds like you might need to use a bike adapter bar. It would provide a horizontal mounting point by attaching from the bikes seat post to the handle bar post. To take a look at an example, look at part # 64005, as it fits with a lot of different bikes. Would you be able to send a picture of the bike rack installed and how the bikes are loaded on it?

Great product at a really good price. As always etrailer customer service was outstanding.

Seems quite sturdy. Retaining straps are a pain to get through the buckles. Recommend setting the rack on a flat surface, I used the truck tailgate, to start the straps through the buckles. Otherwise an easy install , fits tight on the spare tire. I got this to carry our folding wheeled walkers also known as roller-a-raters .
Moving them outside will free up a lot of room for the fur baby .

We received the bike rack very quickly and installed it on our 2011 Rav 4. The rack seems quite sturdy but we couldn't be confident in using it. The straps holding the unit onto the spare tire, when tightened as much as humanly possible, still left the hooks somewhat loose. We simulated a bouncy dirt rocky road and the straps worked their way loose towards the sides of the spare tire thus loosening the whole unit. We felt that the whole thing could easily come off the spare tire taking our new bikes with it. We just felt like it was too risky. The way the Rav 4 spare tire is mounted makes it hard to get the straps all the way straight under the tire and, therefore, leaves them vulnerable to working their way loose and off the tire.

The 2011 RAV4 has two fairly unique features that makes fitting this particular rack a little bit of a challenge. The spare tire is offset on the rear of the vehicle and the spare tire has a smooth, hard cover. If the cover is removed, this rack will fit much better. Because of the offset tire, longer bikes could extend past the edge of the vehicle on the passenger side, which is less than ideal. Although its quite a bit more expensive, the Thule Spare Me, part # TH963PRO allows the arms of the rack to be offset so the bikes will be more centered on the rear of the vehicle.

2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
CHECK THE WEIGHT CAPACITY!! It is designed for ultra-lightweight bikes, although it does not state that on the box or in the product description. The capacity is 33 lbs per bike, whereas most adult bikes are 40+ lbs and children's bikes are around 30 lbs. We loaded this rack with two adult bikes and a child's bike (unaware of the unusually low weight capacity) and the bikes fell off the back of our jeep onto the highway! My husband had to pick them up off the interstate before anyone hit them, risking his own safety. I contacted the company, telling them what happened, and they advised that since one of our bikes was 42 lbs, they would not return the rack (which I had only purchased 2 weeks prior.) I am grateful my husband didn't get hurt, but felt compelled to let others know. The company really should note this on the box or consider re-designing the bike rack to hold bikes of typical weight.

2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited
I received this bike rack 2 days before it was even supposed to arrive! We had purchased another spare tire bike rack (Thule Spare Me) that would not work with the new Jeep JL due to it having to mount through the center of the tire where the camera is. This one installs over the top of the tire and then has straps that go around the tire to secure it. No tools required and we had it on the spare tire in 5 minutes. It seems very secure and we used a cable lock to lock it to the tire to prevent anyone from stealing the rack when the bikes are not on it. Will be heading out on a 1000 mile road trip soon, so that will be the real test.

Toyota RAV4
For the price, not bad. This bike rack is a simple design, that's easy to use, but doesn't seem very secure. I have used this on an older model Rav4, which means the bike or bikes are going to stick out more on one side of the vehicle. There seems to be a lot of movement when hitting potholes and bumps in the road. If you don't plan on using this rack often, don't want to spend a lot, this may be for you. Sufficient, but not very sturdy.

See what our Experts say about this Malone Spare Tire Bike Racks
- What is the Capacity of the Malone Runway Spare Tire Bike Rack for 3 Bikes?The Malone Runway Spare Tire Bike Rack for 3 Bikes item # MPG2148 has a 33 lbs per bike capacity. Even if you only use two you'll need to keep them at or below 33 lbs.
view full answer... - Will the Malone RunWay Work On 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara With Rear Spare Tire CoverIf you want to use a spare tire bike rack like the Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack part # MPG2148 on a vehicle with rear spare tire, you'll need to remove the spare tire cover while the rack is in use. In addition to scratches, the spare tire cover can cause the bike rack to shift and you run the risk of damage. In summary, if you want to carry the bikes with the rear spare tire you'll need to remove the cover. The other options entail installing a hitch or roof rack but these are much more expensive.
view full answer... - 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLWe did do an install of the Malone RunWay 3 Bike Spare Tire Rack # MPG2148 on a 2013 Wrangler Unlimited and that is shown in the video I linked for you, but we have not yet had a 2018 JL Wrangler Unlimited here to allow producing a video for that model. I contacted Malone to ask about the fit of this rack on the 2018 JL. The responded that it fits a tire width up to a 265 size, meaning a tire that is 265 millimeters wide.
view full answer... - Recommended Spare Tire Bike RackWhen it comes to adding a bike rack to your spare tire The Malone Runway Spare Tire Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MPG2148 will work. The bike rack will fit a spare tire width of 8 inches to 10-1/2 inches. It can hold up to 33 pounds per bike. It has a durable steel construction with a black powder coat which helps with rust resistance. I attached a review video link below.

With most of the bike racks the rear camera only will give you a good look at your bikes and possibly around your bikes to some degree. You won't see any notes on our product page unless the rack when installed and unloaded ends up blocking the camera completely, otherwise it is assumed you will have viewing restrictions...

You would either A need to contact the manufacturer, B make one of your own, or C buy a new rack entirely. The only one of these three options I would be able to help you with is C. If you were to choose this route then I recommend the Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack part # MPG2148. The RunWay is an excellent option for most spare tires. It has a weight capacity of 35 lbs per bike. It also comes...

The rack weighs only 14 lbs, so it's pretty light and easy to handle. The rack can carry 3 bikes weighing up to 33 lbs apiece.

The only difference is that the Runway is 1.5 pounds heavier than the Hanger and the Hanger comes with anti-sway cradles to keep bikes from contacting each other during transport. Even though the anti-sway cradles are nice to have, I recommend going with the Runway because it is a more economical option. As far as spare-tire fitment,...

The spare tire cover could cause the bike rack to shift and become unstable which is why it is not recommended. If you will be carrying any bikes with an alternative frame then you are also going to need an adapter bar like part # MPG2165. In addition to this if you are carrying any bikes that are valuable you may...

We have a spare tire mounted bike rack that will fit this size but it's not the Malone. Instead we have the Hollywood Rack SR1 part # HRSR1 which fits tires that are up to 15 inches in width.
view full answer... - 3-Bike Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for 2011 Toyota RAV4We do have one 3-bike rack that is confirmed as a fit for the rear spare of your 2011 Toyota RAV4. For that you'd want the Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack part # MPG2148 which will fit and work well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also....
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack Bike Rack For Popup CamperWhen it comes to putting a bike rack on your pop up camper with a pro rack system I recommend The Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum # RRRBC050. This carrier works with Aero Bars, Factory Bars, Round/Square Bars, and Elliptical Bars. It can hold up to 45 pounds. It fits bikes with 20 inch to 29 inch tires, and it comes with an integrated cable lock that adds an additional layer of theft deterrence. I attached a review video link below.

Instead, I recommend using the Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack part # MPG2148 which is a confirmed fit and will allow you to carry up to three bikes as well. The Malone RunWay attaches around the tire instead of through the lug studs so it will be much easier to take on and off the vehicle. The bike rack itself is also much easier to use as there are individual straps...
view full answer... - Will Malone RunWay Spare Tire Bike Rack Fit 2002 Jeep Wrangler XThe Malone RunWay, part # MPG2148, is confirmed to fit your 2002 Jeep Wrangler as long as you have the factory spare tire. Your only catch is the 35 pound bike because the RunWay has a maximum capacity of 33 pounds per bike. Since you're so close you likely won't have an issue. I definitely recommend loading the heavier bike closest to the Jeep though. You also may need a bike frame adapter bar for the girl's bike to keep it level on the rack. I recommend the Swagman Deluxe, part # 64005.

With regard to maintaining the bars, you need to clean them before you lubricate them. You should also avoid using petroleum based lube products because they attract dirt and dust.

Its mounting straps make it easy to install and remove according to your needs. Be aware that its per bike capacity is 33lbs, so you'll want to be sure that you are observing the weight limits of this carrier. I can't recommend opening the back door of your Jeep Wrangler with a spare tire rack mounted on it, as this rack will extend the length of your rear door by quite a bit, and risks damaging...

For a three bike rack, I recommend the Swagman Original # S64152-2 or for a 4 bike rack, I recommend the Yakima LongHaul # Y02476, both of which are approved to be used behind an RV or camper, like yours.
