Specs:
Note: For installation on a fifth wheel or travel trailer, you must remove the folding pin and install the supplied bolt, washers, and nut.
5th Wheels, motorhomes, and travel trailers have different suspensions than standard commuter vehicles. The 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 different wheelbases. 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 need to carry fat bikes, there are cradles (sold separately) that let you carry bikes with tires up to 5" wide.
You can fold the mast down for access to your rear cargo area. Just pull the spring-loaded release lever at the base of the mast and fold it down. You can also fold the rack up against your vehicle for storage. Pull the pin at the base of the rack, fold it up against your vehicle, and reinsert the pin in the hole at the bottom of the rack.
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.

This heavy-duty rack carries 2 e-bikes up to 70 lbs each on the back of your car, truck, or SUV. It also handles the extra bounce and sway resulting from being mounted on your 5th wheel, motorhome, or travel trailer.First trip was over 500 hundred miles using the Swagman E-Spec. I was worried something bad was going to happen. Fortunately, everything held and had no problems. Family was driving behind us and they said everything looked good. My only little issue was the lock placement on the locking ratchet hooks. The locks face towards the trailer and you have to finagle the key backwards to lock and unlock the locking ratchet hooks.
This is a great rack. I got it the recommendation of my brother-in-law, who has on and it has worked wonderfully for him. It's a good solid, rack and holds the the e-bikes quite well. It assembles easily and sets up for the bikes easily also. You really only have to remember which hook to install first. I am adding a strap to tie the bikes together just as an added precaution. I will aso being using a cover to protect them. It is going to be an extra large BBQ cover. The size I got is 82" wide to make sure.
My only nit, and the reason I didn't give it 5 stars, is that you have to order fat tire adapters separately. They are not an included option when ordering the rack itself. And remember to order TWO sets if you want to replace both. They only come in a pack for one bike.
It’s a shame that the fat tire saddles can’t be an either-or purchase. Now I have a set for the trash can. Why not make the fat tire saddles the standard and the skinny saddles the option? The fat tire set will work for all tires. It would have been nice if the the 2” tube was another 3” or 4” longer so the handle bars on the bike had a little more clearance from hitting the back side of the camper. The hold down hoops could have been a little bigger. The cross members on a lot of electric bikes are pretty wide as most Ebikes store their batteries their.
Very heavy duty and stable on the back of my fifth wheel. No shaking with my 65lb electric bike. Just a little disappointed that I had to buy an additional set of tire holders for my wife’s electric bike. Come on, just put them in the original set!
I was worried about a rear bumper bike rack for my 2 Lectric bikes bouncing too much but after traveling 2,000 miles, we didn't have any trouble. The Swagman E-spec from etrailer bike rack was made specifically for my RV and attaches to the hitch that is rated at 300 lbs. The bike rack locks the bikes into the rack and I had a cover from [online] to protect the bikes from the elements. Loading and unloading is very easy. Prior to the bike rack, we had to fold the bikes in half and put them in a 80 gallon plastic tub and muscle them into the living room between the slides and that was a horrible experience having to lift them into and out of the RV. The supply chain pandemic issue took place and delayed the arrival by 6 months but worth the wait.
Works great to secure our two e-bikes, my wife’s beach cruiser and my Sondors fat tire bike. This was the only rack that was actually approved for fifth wheel trailers. It works great and the tire straps as well as the locking bite secure the bike well for travel. We’ve gone hundred of miles over some less than perfect roads with zero mishaps. The lock on the rack is fine for travel or a quick stop but overnight etc . We choose to add an additional heavy chain and large Schlage lock for added safety and deference. I would recommend this rack 100% especially for those with a fifth wheel.
Awesome e bike carrier. I had a Swagman for my regular bike and I looked no further when I needed an e bike rack for my RV. Sturdy, reliable and Swagman and etrailer have some of the best customer service.
This rack was advertised for evoked with fat tires. My bike has 5” tires which do not fit in the rack. When you go on to the web site, they advertise a wide wheel rack for this rack but they are unavailable. I have a brand new Swagman rack (which took 6 months to get) that I cannot use. Very disappointing!
Katrina B - 08/17/2022This is an excellent product. We have used it for a year on the back of our 5th wheel. We have two large and heavy e-bikes; this has zero issues with sturdiness or excess bounce. The locks and adjustments are easy to use. Because of our taller and longer handlebar bikes we added a hitch extender to keep them out from the back window, although as mention they do not move once the are on. We highly recommend this product. The service and communication was excellent when purchasing the item. Very happy with the product and quality.
Very impressed with the quality of the Swagman E-Spec bike rack. Easy to assemble and install on the 5th wheel 2” receiver. Solid hitch bolt locking system provided that reduces bike movement to a minimum. Locking in the bikes was very straight forward. I used an extra strap/lock just for my own piece of mind. Watching the bikes through the rear back-up camera also showed little movement over rough roads. Added a travel cover and netting to protect bikes during travel. Highly recommend this product for RV applications.
I really like the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount Item #S94FR I gave 4 stars only because I had to send 4 hour modifying the hooks (shot and long) before I could use the Rack on my 2 electric bikes. The fit on the vehicle tight and secure, it strong enough to hold a lot heavy bikes then I have and only about an hour to set up minus the modification to the hooks to hold the bikes apart. Still looking for another long hook to make work.
Well built and solid constructions. We have a 25ft Navion with a spare tire mounted on the back so I had to add an extender to the hitch mount, but the bikes are very solid and secure in the rack. We have two Rad Mini's that each weigh about 65 lbs without the batteries. I suggest putting some foam padding between the bikes while on the reck so they don't scratch each other. Also get a cover for the bikes to keep road dirt off them while travelling otherwise they get really grimy. I bought a motorcycle cover that easily fits over both bikes. Very glad I chose this rack and purchased it from etrailer.
Mike L - 08/31/2022Big disappointment from the start. Rack fit to close to the trailer so it only held one bike. I stopped 3 times to check securement and on the 3 stop I found my bike hanging by one stirrup, while the other stirrup was still attached to the wheel. It rattled past the stop and yes it was tight. Swagman took about 6 months to tell me to pound sand that the measurements were in the add. The bike fit on the rack but the little flat head screw’s they provided for stops did not do the job. Might I add the gave measurements for the bikes but not the distance it stuck out. I also tried to submit reviews on Etrailer and Swagman and apparently you can only submit good reviews. It cost Etrailer my future business.??
I needed a platform bike rack for electric bikes to go on the back of a travel trailer. This product fits the bill.
Matthew - 08/20/2022The Swagman espec bike rack has exceeded expectations for intended purpose. I have it mounted to a custom hitch on the back of my Lance travel trailer. The rack is proven to be very strong, and has held the bikes and a rigid and controlled fashion. I have experience with a prior platform style bike rack, similar to this one, which unfortunately broke due to the additional sway experienced on the back of a trailer. Compounding this, is the weight of the E bikes themselves. Swagman bike rack has solve those problems, with hundreds of miles of service this far, and no hint of failure or any other problems. Would highly recommend.
I really like the rack but be careful when torquing down the handles for the tire holders. Mine cracked but Swagman promptly sent new ones. My 2.7” tire fit but would like to see the holders a bit wider. Overall I think it’s the best RV ebike rack out there. Thumbs up!
David - 06/04/2022I couldn't be happier with our Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack. It took awhile to get, but was worth the wait. We've taken several trips out of state with this on the back of our travel trailer hauling our e bikes safe and sound. Josh and the staff at etrailer were great to work with. Friendly, knowledgeable, and keep me informed.
Woks great behind trailer, solid. Carefully picked trailer approved bike rack. Easy to put together. Only had to slide into position 6 assembled pieces and a few bolts. I also easily added a bar to carry wife’s Pedego trike on it.
The swagman s94fr is heavy duty. Really well made I would recommend this
Bike rack. I have this rack attached to my 5th.wheel. The bike stayed on solid.
Excellent quality product. Packaging was top rated, very well packed and solid. The bike rack is very high quality and exactly what I had hoped it would be.
Assembled nicely and fairly quickly. Good quality build and directions are easy to follow. The bolt that goes to the receiver hitch really locks it down and takes all the wobble out of it. Both our bikes fit fine. With make RV'ing alot better with the ability to haul the bikes on the camper.
Your tracking system sucks. It indicates I received my complete order when the bike rack has still not been delivered.
Jenny N - 06/20/2022Nice bike rack,easy to use,good quality. Should have a softer pad on the hook that locks the bike in place,wares on the paint.
This bike rack worked really well with our fifth wheel. It is sturdy and easy to install. I would definitely recommend this product for people who camp and have ebikes.
We purchased the Swagman E-Spec bike rack to use on our truck and travel trailer. Both of our Lectric XP 2.0 bikes fit perfectly on the bike rack. The bike rack was shipped to us by etrailer as soon as they got them back in stock.
