Expert Reply:

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.

I'm looking for a 1 1/4" hitch fat bike rack that would support 4" wide tires and handle 70 lbs. I have a RadRover Step Thru1 ebike. What would you recommend? And do you have a single fat bike rack option?

The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Bike Rack # HLY74FR is what you're looking for, but you need to make sure that your 1-1/4" hitch has at least a Class II rating so that it's strong enough for this application.

@DavidG Hi - Looked through your answers and I bet you will recommend me one or two, but we have 2 bikes and I'lm looking for a 2" hitch rack. We have a step through Trek Verve 3+ for my wife and a Giant Explore E. We have used a Yakama extension bar for other bikes with a hanging rack but don't know about the fit with the Trek bike. Not sure if stem and seat tubes are standard size for that to fit. What are our options. Thanks.

@LarryJ The step-through of the Trek looks pretty dramatic, so a wheel-mount rack like the Kuat NV 2.0, part # NV22G, is a good option. It can handle up to 60 pounds per bike and fits 2" hitches.

Answer 1

Hey Nolan, since the receiver attachment for buckets #e75ZV clamps-on instead of bolting or welding, you can move it between different tractor or skid steer buckets as needed, as long as each bucket edge is 1-1/2 inch thick or less. That makes it…

Answer 5

The guy you talked to is completely incorrect. I am not sure where he came up with that but the only time you have to reduce the capacity of a hitch is when you use a hitch extender. The EcoHitch part #306-X7332 when used with a bike rack like the…

Answer 6

The Curt Class III trailer hitch #C13119 does have a 350-lb tongue weight (TW) rating as you noted, and that capacity must be enough for the weight of the bike rack itself plus that of your loaded bikes. A substantial 4-bike rack like the Hollywood…

No, it will not but I have one that will. The Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack item #HLY64FR is only rated for class III 2" hitches that have a minimum 350 lbs tongue weight capacity. Physically it will fit but you shouldn't do it plus…
