Easy to use and excellent quality. It's a must to use on my step-through e-bike to attach correctly to my bike rack. The e-bike is secured without any issues.



by:

This bar I used with my bike rack to keep my step-thru bike mounted. Worked like a charm. So easy to put on.



by:

These bars expand, open and click-shut with a very satisfying click. Needed to attach our step-through bikes to the rack. Absolutely worth the few extra bucks.



by:

These bike bars serve there purpose as far as holding the bikes down on the bike rack, only thing is that sometimes they get stuck trying to get around the post, but overall would purchase again if needed

as if they were brand new, have never had a problem



by:

These did not work well on my ebikes and I send them back for a refund. When used in combination with a lock, they make removing the bikes pretty easy.



by:

This is perfect for my step-through e-bike; used with my Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack. Great quality!

Thats great! I love this gadget - solves the complicated problem of ununiform bikes pretty easily, doesnt it?



by:

Really well built.
Easy to assemble
too.
Haven't received the adapter bars yet,they're probably just a day behind.
You're a great company to do business with.

I live in NYC and like to get out and mountain bike about 3 to 4 times a week. I was skeptical about tire racks being a suitable option for hauling a dual suspension MTN bike with 27+ tires ,however Since my Jeep is parked in a parking garage a hitch rack would be a nuisance and roof racks are a hassle to install on a 2020 Jeep Wrangler, so I decided a tire rack was worth a shot. This rack completely exceeded my expectations. First the installation takes minutes. Even though it does not bolt on to the spare frame, It is by no means a flimsy rear wheel rack. It is a burly ultra secure big trail bike hauling mountain bike rack and doesn’t block the rear camera view when not in use. With the extension bar the bike fits securely and comfortably on the arms. The extra straps completely secure the frame so it doesn’t wobble on the road and evenly distributes the weight so there is hardly any pressure on the head tube and seat post. I highly recommend this rack for a hassle free strong and sturdy mountain bike rack that will protect your high performance trail bike with confidence.



by:

Needed a platform style rack for heavy E-bike that is a step through model with fenders. This severely limited the choice of racks. Found one that said it would work and it did but because the center support grabbed the frame so low, it wobbled quite a bit and rubbed against the chain guard. This adapter bar solved the problem. Ordinarily the bike hangs from this type device so rubbing on the painted frame isn't an issue but in my use It is being pushed down by the center clamp and rode over the seat post onto the frame.. I solved this with a white spacer ring I made (see picture) so the adapter bar couldn't ride down and rub the frame.
It's a very solid nicely made piece of equipment. probably overkill for my use



by:

I like the way they attach. Much easier than the sring loaded cheap ones that pinches your fingers every time you install them.



by:

I received our bike frame adapters and am using them both for our Pedego ebikes. My only issue is there is no protection; rubber surface, to protect the bikes. I added foam door seal, which came off after the first trip, so I will attempt to attach more with Super Glue.

I usually recommend item # SR0500 because it is a good price and also has rubber coating.



by:

Great product.
Keeps the woman's bike
straight on the rack.
The locks are tight and hold the handlebars and the saddle in place.
Solidly build. Every time we go on a bike trip, I put it on my wife's bike.
Bicycle racks do not take women's bikes in account so this bar is the best alternative out there.



by:

This bike rack adapter is great. Very heavily well-built and will do exactly that for which it has made. I would have given it five stars except the way it has made the adapter bar slides in and out (so that it can be adjusted to fit to different lengths). There is no way to lock the bar length in place. And on both ends where the bar attaches to your bike, at the bar end there needs to be some sort of padding so not to scratch the bike while racked.



by:

Did the job for allowing securing bike to the rack



by:

Great products. Well made and fully assembled. Good communication and products arrived very quickly. Appreciated all the information on the website. It gave me the confidence that it would fit my vehicle.
I mounted the bike rack on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with back up camera with no issue. There is a tight clearance between the spare tire, and 3rd brake light but I was able to install it with the tire cover in tact. Going forward will probably put small spacers on the back of the tire mount for an extra fraction of inch clearance.
Also, the adapter was needed to level out the women bike on the rack.



by:

So quick and easy to pop on and off a must for RAD brand bikes



by:

Happy with the bike frame adapter bar. Secures my ebike to the bike rack. Transporting ebike allows us to explore new areas.



by:

it was easy to put on the bike,and fit perfectly on the bike rack.

still sturdy and working great.best investment i made,at a reasonable price.



by:

Works great with our two Rad power electric bikes. They are heavy but fit like a glove in the rack. A great way to transport our bikes for a fun day riding on the inter urban trails in Bellingham.



by:

Functioned as advertised and fit easily around my women's 1975 step-through Schwinn. The product has a real no-brainer design that is secure. I have no reason to question its ability to hold my bike on the rack regardless of road condition or reasonable driving speed.



by:

Easy to use on certain circumstances where the rack won’t hold bikes. We have Aventons that we had issues securing to the rack, The adaptor solved the issue.



by:

Very well put together. Easy to install. I installed this on two different models of step thru ebikes and worked great. We decided to use one as a permanent part to a step-thru Blix Aveney ebike as it now doesn’t look like a woman’s bike for my guy to ride. These work well for support on our bike carrier.



by:

Easy to use. Works pefrctly.



by:

Fit great on our Magicycle Ocelots and our Hollywood rack.
Great price and fast shipping.



by:

Used for step through bikes.

  • Can the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack Be Used with Step Through Bikes
    We have a solution for you either way but the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR may or may not work with your particular step through bikes. There are different styles of step through bikes and depending on how low the step through is, the ratcheting arm on the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR may go down low enough to secure the bike or it may be a little short. However, if the ratcheting arm does not go down low enough on your particular bike we do...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for Electric Step Thru Bikes
    Hey Anthony thanks for stopping by! The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR will work fine with your step thru bikes, but you're also going to need an adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. If you're not sold on the Sport Rider SE, then I'd suggest going with the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR. This rack is very similar to the SportRider SE but does not require the adapter bar for step thru bikes. Both racks can handle the exact same size bikes, so whichever you choose you'll be set! If there...

  • Best 4-Bike E-Bike Capable Hitch Mounted Bike Rack
    Hey Gene! There's nothing on the market that's going to fit all of your requests but I've got one that's pretty close. The highest capacity 4-bike bike rack is going to be the Benton Shifts & Grins item # B82FR. It has a 55 lbs capacity for every bike on the rack, not just the front two. This isn't a common feature amongst 4-bike bike racks. Typically the back two are limited to 35 lbs - 40 lbs. You are going to have to remove your batteries and get your bike's below the 55 lbs limit. The...

  • Best Bike Rack for E-Bikes with Fenders That Doesnt Rub
    I have a few different bikes racks for you that will carry e-bikes with fenders. That said, you will need to go with a frame mount style as you can't use a wheel mount bike rack on a bike with fenders. The best option for you will be the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Electric Bike Rack part # HLY84FR which has an 80 lb per bike weight capacity and soft padded frame hooks so you don't have to worry about rubbing. If either of your bikes has a steep drop tube frame then you will also need...

  • Is Adapter Needed with Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for Step-Thru Frames
    The padded ratcheting hooks on the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY74FR that you were looking at can slide up and down the length of the vertical mast, so they should be able to grab onto the frame of a step-thru bike like yours. With that being said if the step-thru is more dramatic than most you may just need to add an adapter bar like # HRBA-PRO to create a horizontal attachment point for a secure connection.

  • E-Bike Rack Recommendation for Pedego Interceptor Electric Bike
    E-bikes are becoming more popular every day, so the bike rack options are increasing just as rapidly. We've got a couple solutions that will work for your needs, but the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE that you mentioned, # HLY84FR will not fit in your 1-1/4" hitch receiver. Instead, what you need is part # HLY74FR. It's essentially the same bike rack, but it's designed to fit both an 1-1/4" hitch, (Class II only) as well as a 2" hitch (Class III). It will easily accommodate your Pedego...

  • How High Will Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Sit on 1999 Ford F-250
    Looking at your measurement there it appears as though the top of the hitch is approximately 24" off the ground. The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR has a rise of 7" so expect to lift your e-bike about 31" to get it on the rack. If that is too much I recommend pulling the battery so it is easier to lift. Also, now that I see the full frame of your particular TotGuard you will likely need the # HRBA-PRO as well. We have options with a ramp like the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202...

  • What 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack will Hold My RadWagon 4 and RadRunner Plus E-Bikes with Fenders?
    The only rack we carry that will hold your 77-pound electric RadWagon 4 and RadRunner Plus is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HLY74FR. As far as weight capacity, the Sport Rider SE has a massive per-bike weight capacity of 80 pounds. The Sport Rider SE is will be able to attach to your 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver. In addition, the rack will safely bypass the front and rear fenders by attaching to the frame. This is ideal because...

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Work With a Womens Step-Through Bike Frame
    The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE part # HLY84FR will work with most step-through frame bikes. The best chance you have of this is to switch the short hook to the bottom and then the long hook to the top on the upright as that will then allow for the lowest connection point. That said, there isn't really a measurement for this so best option would be to order the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # HRBA-PRO which is designed to provide an attachment point for step-through frame...

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top Support Trek Hybrid Bikes
    The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top Bike Rack, part # HRF2-3, might require your Trek Hybrids to use an adapter to mount the bikes on the bars (depending on the model, of course). I recommend the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes, part # HRBA-PRO. It will create a top bar to hang your bikes. I've linked to a video review of it below. Keep in mind that the Over-the-Top has a weight capacity of 35 pounds per bike. Be sure to check that your model...

  • Fit of Thule TH92BJ DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Rack for 2020 Terrain
    The Thule # TH92BJ Double Track Pro you'd looked at would be an excellent choice for you. The rack can carry two bikes weighing up to 35 lbs each with tires up to 2-1/2 wide and wheelbases up to 46-1/2 inches. The rack only weighs about 32 lbs, so it's easy to handle. The USA made rack includes a locking hitch pin as well as locking ratcheting hooks to secure the bikes to the rack. The only thing I'd recommend checking is how far your hitch is recessed under the vehicle by measuring the...

  • Will Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack Fit a 2004 Volvo C70 Convertible
    Hollywood Racks does not recommend any of their racks for your 2005 Volvo C70 Convertible. Instead, I would recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # TH56BV. This trunk rack is perfect for carrying 3 bikes on your convertible. It attaches easily with 2 rubber-coated straps that let you raise your trunk or hatch without removing it from your Volvo XC70. It even works well with most spoilers. The OutWay is by far the easiest trunk mounted rack to use since it uses only 2...

    I did some research on Uhaul's website and your Class I trailer hitch has a maximum tongue weight of 200lbs, so you will not have a problem carrying your two e-bikes. The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # TH903202, is an excellent choice. It comes with a ramp to help you load and unload your bikes. This hitch bike rack will clamp your frame, making it easier for you to carry your bike with fenders. Your Trek Domane + is an aluminum...

  • Will The Swagman Chinook Bike Rack Work With Townie 7D Step-Thru Non-Electric?
    Hey Beth, thanks for reaching out. The Swagman Chinook Bike Rack # S64683 works well with step thru bikes like your Townie 7D Step-Thru, but there are a few things to consider. First, it is a frame mount rack, so your fenders will not be an issue. I found the review you mentioned and the main thing I noticed is this customer was using the rack to carry only ONE step thru bike. The bike on the inner position has a more standard frame. This is important because the long ratcheting hook...

  • What are the Pros/Cons of the Sport Rider SE 4 # HR1400Z and the Malone Runway 4 # MAL82VR?
    When it comes to hitch-mounted carriers by Hollywood Racks and Malone that can carry adult bikes, kids bikes, and mountain bikes, one pro of the Hollywood Racks models is the weight capacity. If you are looking at a rack like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # HR1400Z, the per-bike weight capacity is 50 pounds. This is great for heavier adult bikes (not electric bikes) and full-suspension mountain bikes. Another great advantage is that the Sport Rider...

  • Recommended Trunk Mount 3 Bike Rack for 2019 Volvo XC90
    I checked with all of our bike rack manufacturers and the only 3-bike trunk rack option that is confirmed to fit your 2019 Volvo XC90 is the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack, part # Y02638. For your XC90, the HangOut 3 requires that the upper and lower hooks must be installed in anchor mode. See the attached installation instructions for more details. Since this is a hanging style rack, in order to carry a bike level during transport, it must have a relatively straight top tube. Most standard...

The Sport Rider SE2 has adjustable wheel cradles to fit a variety of bike sizes and the ratcheting hooks come with integrated locks to make sure that your bikes are secured when attached to the rack.

The rack is also fat tire compatible. The rack can tilt while loaded with bikes, giving you access to the rear of the vehicle. It has anti-rattle hitch receiver lock which helps do away with extra movement in your rack while locking the rack to your vehicle. The arms that secure the bike lock as well. Since...

    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...

This trike carrier will fit both 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers and can carry a trike with a max track width of 36", a max wheelbase of 74", a max tire width of 3", and a max weight of 100 lbs. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Since your Schwinn has a step-through frame you may need to use an Adapter...

  • 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...

  • What Bike Rack will Hold My Cannondale Step-Through Electric Bike as well as Another Adult Bike?
    For a heavier bike like your Cannondale electric step-through bike as well as another road bike or mountain bike, I recommend hitch-mounted platform rack because the weight is too heavy for a trunk-mounted or roof-mounted rack. To go the hitch rack route, I recommend the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # SA4412B. Apart from its 60 pound per-bike weight capacity, the Freedom has cradles that adjust independently along the upright mast to hold bikes...

It isn't a traditional platform rack but it does secure the bikes by their wheels so there is no frame contact and has a whopping capacity of 75 lbs per bike, making it a...

The OnRamp has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 66-pounds per bike and includes an integrated ramp that allows for you to roll the bike onto the securing platform without lifting the bike off the ground.
