Perfect for travelers, this platform rack lets you carry 2 heavy e-bikes on the back of your RV. It has padded hooks on the ratcheting arms that hold your bikes securely by the frame. Upright mast folds down with bikes unloaded for cargo-area access.

Note: When used on an RV or towed vehicle the RV bolt must be installed in place of the folding pin and clip.
5th Wheels, motorhomes, and travel trailers have different suspensions than standard commuter vehicles. The Swagman E-Spec is designed to handle the extra bounce and sway that results from being placed further away from your vehicle's rear axle. It also gives your bikes 5" higher clearance than most other RV-rated platform racks. The E-Spec is constructed with reinforced steel, so it will easily carry 2 e-bikes that weigh up to 70 lbs each. But it's not just for your RV. You can also install it in the 2" hitch on your car, truck, or SUV.
The E-Spec's mast has a pair of ratcheting hooks that hold your bikes securely by the top tube. And because they move independently, you can carry bikes of different shapes and sizes. The hooks have soft padding that won't scratch or scuff your bike's paint.
The wheel cradles slide to accommodate bikes with tires up to 5". Hand knobs let you release the cradles to slide along the bike tray and adjust for your specific bike lengths. Each cradle has a ratcheting strap so you can secure your bikes' wheels during transport.
If you're using the rack on a passenger vehicle and want the ability to fold it up for storage, you can remove the RV bolt at the back of the hitch bar assembly and replace it with the included pin and clip. In this configuration, you can fold the rack up when you aren't carrying bikes. This means you don't have to remove the rack to park in small lots at the trail head or in cramped parking garages. You must re-install the RV bolt to use the rack on your RV again.
Whether on an RV or a passenger vehicle, you don't have to remove the rack for rear cargo area access. With your bikes unloaded, just pull up the spring-loaded release lever and fold the mast down.
The ratcheting hooks have lock cores in the release buttons so you can secure your bikes to the rack. Simply slide the hooks over your bikes' top tubes until they click and lock them in place. There is also a keyed-alike locking hitch pin that secures the rack to your vehicle.

Easy to assemble top finish and biold
Package here early. Great customer service. Highly recommend this company
Easy to assemble. Not too heavy for se nior.
This is exactly what I wanted! Pretty easy setup and a solid rack. Great product!
Everything went smoothly. I ordered it and a few days later it was delivered and now I have to f8nd the time to put it together.
I am very pleased with my purchase, and the treatment I received to ensure this was the correct hitch for my vehicle.
This rack handled my two rad e bikes well. Nice quality
Have not transported a bike with it yet, but I want to say that the packaging was great and the instructions for assembly were easy to follow.
etrailer is my first stop for my RV needs. The customer service is top notch and that is very important to me. The products are name brand and very well priced.
Assembled easily. Seems strong but is heavy to lift into position on my motorhome. I believe it will work out fine.
Provides a steady, sturdy ride for both of our Pedego Ebikes on the back of a 2017 Highlander.
Every thing went well. I easily put it together and it is now mounted on my RV. I would prefer that you send me a tracking number generated by UPS if indeed, there was one. I prefer the extra detail they provide. The one you did make available to me was right on the money, it said delivery date was the 28th as you stated.
Thanks, Ray
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.
Heavy duty and heavy. Holds our bikes solidly with little movement. Very happy with our purchase.
We bought new electric bikes and this bike rack works perfect with them. Very well made. Great product!
Fits the bike well and easy to install. Like the Keyed alike receiver lock and lock for the bike arms.
The quality of the bike rack is on point. No movement while driving. No plastic. Secures bikes really well and everything can be locked up for security. Awesome product!
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!
This is very well built and the instructions were fairly straight forward. I haven't used it yet because we have step through bikes and I didn't know when buying that I would need two bar adapters to go between the neck and the seat to take the place of the upper tube. I have ordered them now but they may not come till May 25. It would have been nice to know. More people are getting the step through versions of E bikes.
We used the chat room to determine what product we needed, and they gave us exactually what we needed. This bike rack is tow trailer rated, and is very sturdy and fit our e-bikes perfectly. We received it two days from ordering. Assembly was extremely easy. Assembled it right in the truck receiver which made it super simple.
The box was in bad shape when it arrived. So, I was a little worried that the product was banged up. Fortunately, it was not. It works just fine. The bolt that attaches the unit to the trailer hitch eliminates any slack and wobble...a great feature. Carries 2 "heavy" e-bikes with no problem.
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.
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.
Great Quality and Value: We bought this rack to support his & hers electric bikes. Excellent investment. Safety secures. I don't worry about theft. Like the 1 key fits all locks concept. Would buy again but I think this will last a long time so won't need to.
