• Do I Need a Bike Frame Adapter Bar when Using the RV Rider with Step-Thru Electric Bikes?
  I have a great solution for you. Even though the independently-adjusting cradles on the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR eliminate the need of a bike frame adapter bar, the OnRamp is not safe to use on the back of a flat-towed vehicle. I I confirmed with the engineers at Yakima that the OnRamp cannot withstand the extra torque/forces exerted on the rack during transport on your 2019 Jeep Wrangler. Even if the OnRamp was approved, the 5-inch distance between the center of the pinhole and the closest...

• Will the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Clear My Spare Tire on My Jeep Wrangler?
  Yes! Our part number # HLY64FR is the same as the Hollywood Racks part number HR1700. These both correspond to the Hollywood Racks RV Rider. As far as clearing your spare tire on your Jeep Wrangler, there is a definite way to tell if you have enough clearance with the rack installed on your hitch (if you have a hitch receiver). Since the shank of the RV Rider measures 7-1/2" from the center of the shank's pinhole to the closest part of the rack, you have the ability to make a measurement...

• What Bike Rack do You Recommend for My 60-Pound E-Bike on My 2013 Ford Focus?
  I have a great solution for you for a bike rack with a ramp. Unfortunately, Saris does not make a ramp for the Saris MTY Bike Rack SA4031. We also do not have a bike rack that has a ramp for a single bike. With that being said, we do have a 2-bike option that comes with a ramp. For that route, I recommend the Yakima OnRamp # Y96FR (for 1-1/4" hitches) or the # Y88DJ (for 2-inch hitches). The great thing about the OnRamp in addition to the included ramp is that you will not have to purchase...

• How To Carry 4 Bikes On A 2008 Mazda 5
  I do have a couple options for you but Class I hitches like the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame part # 24773 that fits the 2008 Mazda 5 are designed to only carry 2 bikes because of it's limited tongue weight rating. The weight of the bikes and bike rack is all considered tongue weight on the hitch and putting 4 bikes on a rack in a Class I hitch would create too much leverage and possibly damage the hitch or vehicle. With that being said, I recommend to get a 2 bike rack for the Class I...

• What Bike Frame Adapter Bar do You Recommend for My Children's Bikes?
  For a great option for a bike frame adapter bar for your children's bikes, I recommend two of the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005. This adapter bar comes with a telescoping tube that extends 24-3/8" to 33-3/4" to ensure a snug fit on most bikes. It is also compatible on all brands of bike racks that require its use. The adapter gives you a straight, horizontal plane needed to attach to your rack.

• How Do I Install Straps Without Hooks For My Trunk Mounted Bike Rack On My 2017 Toyota Prius?
  For your 2017 Toyota Prius with Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack, # Y02634, the attached instructions show you how to convert the hooks to anchors. The anchors are made by essentially feeding the strap back through a slot in the hook to allow the entire hook to remain inside the hatch as an anchor. I've attached a picture to assist as well.

• 3-Bike Trunk Rack Recommendation for a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica
  Definitely! For a great 3-bike trunk rack for your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica, I recommend the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638. This rack comes with a 35 pound per-bike weight capacity (90 pound maximum overall capacity). It also comes with anti-sway cradles that eliminate the tendency for bike movement during transport. As far as locks, the best and most economical way to lock the rack and the bikes is by purchasing the passive security strap # Y02623 along with the etrailer cable lock...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Compatible with 2016 Volvo XC90 Spoiler
  On your 2016 Volvo XC90 if you have a roof rack you can use the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top Trunk Bike Rack # HRF2 or # HRF2-3. I confirmed this with the manufacturer. We don't list the fit in our guide because it requires the rails for a fit. If you don't have a roof side rails then you will need to add a roof rack to your flush mounted rails to use that rack. The # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX040 are my recommendation. If you have the raised factory side rails then you don't need to add...

• Demo Video for Thule Passage 2 Bike Rack on Hatchback Vehicle
  I attached a link to a demo video for the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT being installed on a hatchback Toyota Prius C for you to check out. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes...

• Recommended Bike Rack for Trek Verve 3 with Step-Through Frame for a 2004 Volvo S40
  The Swagman Chinook # S64683 is a great bike rack that can be adjusted to hold kid's bikes so I don't think that the hook being able to come down far enough will be an issue. My only concern is that the 3rd point of contact will be lower so I am not sure how secure a bike with a low step-through frame will do. To ensure that your wife's bike will remain secure in the bike rack there are 2 options. You could either use an Adapter Bar # 64005 which is typically used for hanging style...

• Recommend Trunk Mount Bike Rack for Carrying an Electra Townie on a 2010 Toyota Prius
  I do have a trunk mount bike rack option available for your 2010 Toyota Prius, however, the Hollywood Racks Gordo part # HRG2 is not a confirmed fit. For a bike rack that is a confirmed fit and will work well with your Electra Townie, I recommend using the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH45JV. The OutWay is my number one choice for trunk bike racks. It is the easiest to install because it uses only 2 rubbeer-coated straps instead of the 4-6 straps of other carriers. It comes...

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack to Carry Electra Townie Womens Bike on a 2001 Ford Escape
  Both the Hollywood Racks Expedition, part # HRF6-2, and the Saris Solo, part # SA102, are confirmed to fit your 2001 Ford Escape. Even though both racks fit I believe there's a better option. For almost every vehicle with a rear hatch the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top, part # HRF2, is the best fit. It's specifically designed for hatchbacks. You'll need an adapter bar for an Electra Townie on any hanging bike rack. I recommend the Swagman Deluxe, part # 64005.

• Recommended 2 Bike Rack For 2013 Honda Fit Sport Where Trunk Mounted Racks Wont Fit
  I reached out to my contact at Thule and they confirmed they do not have any fits for your 2013 Honda Fit Sport Model. They said the reason is the factory spoiler is not strong enough to support the straps. All of our manufacturers exclude the Sport model for this reason. My recommendation is to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11064 and then use the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack # TH92BJ which is a confirmed fit along with the support strap...

• What Single Bike Rack do You Recommend for My 4.8 Inch Wide Fat Tire E-Bike?
  From the looks of your recent searches, you are looking for a 1-bike wheel-mount hitch bike rack for your electric fat bike with 4.8 inch tires. For a great rack that fits your needs, I recommend the Saris MHS Modular Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # SAR23MR. Not only does the MHS accommodate your 4.8 inch wide tires, it comes with a 60-pound weight capacity. In addition, it is compatible with bikes that have a wheel diameter of 20" - 29" and a maximum wheelbase...

• Adapter for low Step-Through Frame E-Bike to fit Bike Rack
  The perfect solution for you to carry your EVELO Luna with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2-Bike Carrier for Electric Bicycles # HLY84FR would be to use an adapter bar which attaches between your seat post and handlebar stem to create a horizontal mounting point. You can see exactly what it does in the photo I've attached for you. The bar you want is going to depend on the length between your seat post and handlebar stem; the Swagman Deluxe # 64005 is adjustable from 24 3/8" to 33...

• Best Option for Bike Rack on 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
  Your best option for a 3-bike rack would be to use a hitch, the Curt # C13383, which is a fit for your vehicle, and a hitch-mounted bike rack. The reason for this is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack HRF2-3 must be attached to a trunk or hatch lid made of steel and because your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica hybrid does not have that, you will not want to use this rack. In addition, I do not recommend using the Yakima trunk-mounted racks that fit your Pacifica either, because the upper...

  The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75676 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Lexus RX 450h. We do not have any videos of the RX450h with that particular hitch receiver, but I have added the video of the installation of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13143 which is also a fit to assist.

• Best Spare Tire Mounted Bike Rack Comparison Thule Vs Yakima
  The Thule Spare Me Bike rack part # TH963PRO and the Yakima Spare Tire part # Y02599 both do come with locks to secure the rack to your spare tire and cable locks to secure the bikes to the carrier. The biggest difference between the two and is only an advantage for some people is that the Yakima can fit on spare tires that are up to 12.5 inches wide whereas the Thule can only fit tires that are up to 10 inches wide. Aside from that the only actual feature that the Yakima has that the Thule...

• Hitch Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Winnebago View Class C Motorhome
  I have a bike rack that will work for you, but I cannot recommend the Kuat Sherpa # SH22G for use on your 2016 Winnebago View. Kuat does not approve the use of their Sherpa 2.0 - or other bike racks - on motorhomes or camper trailers. A bike rack is put under a lot more torque and stress when used at the back of a motorhome or camper when compared to being used on a vehicle. Kuat has not tested and designed their bike racks for use under these more strenuous environments. There are not...

• Recommended Dual Hitch Adapter For 2017 Kia Sorento for Bike Rack and Pop-up Trailer
  Your 2017 Kia Sorento has a towing capacity of 2,000 to 5,000 lbs depending on what motor and transmission you have. I recommend checking your owner's manual to make sure you are within the manufacturer's specifications. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75908. This will give you a 2 inch opening that will allow you to use the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544. This will allow you to tow your...

• How do I Transport a Honda Grom, a Scooter, and 2 Bikes on My Class C Motorhome?
  As far as mounting your Honda Grom and your scooter to your 2019 Winnebago 22R motorhome, we unfortunately do not have a traditional bike rack that will work for the weight of those bikes. However, the best route is to use the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches - With Ramp - 77" Long # UF48-979033. The Ultra-Fab is RV-approved and will fit motorcycles/scooters up to 500 pounds. In addition, the carrier comes with an included ramp that can be positioned on either end to make for...

• Will the SportRack Hitch 4-Bike Rack Work With Kid's Bikes
  The SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack part # SR2415 will work with kid's bikes as well as most adult bikes. That said, if any of these bikes have an alternative frame type which is common on kid's and women's bikes then you will need an adapter bar which ensures the bikes hang level so that you don't have to worry about the tires coming into contact with the road. The Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # 64005 is our most cost effective option. Please note, any hanging style bike...

• Will the Yakima FullBack Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2018 Honda CR-V
  The Yakima FullBack 3 # Y02633 will fit your 2018 Honda CR-V as long as it is not a Touring model. This is an excellent choice for a truck mount bike rack because of the adjustability of the arms, easy to use ZipStrip straps, and integrated cable lock. I have linked a video review of this rack for you. If you do have a Touring model then there is a 3-bike rack that will work; the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack # HRF2-3. You will not be able to open the rear hatch with any trunk mount...

• Compatibility of 3 Bike Rack on 2015 Toyota Prius
  The Reese Q-Slot Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack is a fit for your 2015 Prius but has been discontinued. If you already have the rack it will work very well for you. I recommend using the included pin and clip for a secure fit in the hitch and then using a cable lock like # e98891 to secure your bikes to the rack. The 2 inch receiver only Reese Q-Slot Platform-Style 2 Bike and 4 Bike Rack PS63138 (also discontinued) was a 2 or 4 bike carrier, but would NOT work on your 2015 Toyota Prius...
