• Can I Use My 2 Aventon Adventure Lectric Step-Thru E-Bikes With the Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR?
  From the sounds of your question, I assume you are talking about the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR. If this is the rack you are referring to, yes! It works with 20" diameter tires as long as you have the adapter # HLY24FR for each bike. This adapter does not come with the rack itself. This rack is a great choice because it has a super high 80 pound per bike weight capacity. It also accommodates fat bike tires up to 5 inches wide (if you have them). As far as your step-thru...

• 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...

• Does Bike With Step Through Frame Need Bike Rack Adapter on Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack
  You will not need the Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005 with the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Trailer Hitches # S64670. That adapter is normally used for hanging-style bike racks to give bikes with step-through frames a vertical mounting point. However, the XTC-2 does not require it; as you can see by the accompanying photo and review a customer sent in of this rack, they were able to use the XTC-2 with a step-through...

• Recommended Front Mounted Bike Rack For Ford E450 Van Chassis
  We do offer several types of bike carriers designed and rated for use on the front of an RV, including the platform style such as the Swagman Dispatch # S44FR.

The Swagman Dispatch # S44FR is a great choice for an RV rack. It includes locks for both the rack itself and your loaded bikes; its independent...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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.

• 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 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...

• 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...

• RV Bike Rack Recommendation for a Class B RV
  I will be happy to help. The first piece of information that will help you choose a bike rack is that not all bike racks can be used on RVs, even if it is a Class B RV. On RVs and trailers, there is excess bouncing and movement at the trailer hitch. Most hitch mount bike racks cannot handle the excess bouncing and would likely fail during your trip causing expensive damages. We do have several bike racks that are rated for use on a RV. I have attached a link to these bike racks for you...

• What 4-Bike Bike Rack do You Recommend for My 2021 Grand Design Fifth-Wheel Trailer?
  I have the answer! You are 100% correct when saying that the Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # S64665 is rated for motorhomes and not fifth-wheel. The reason why is because there is much more force/torque exerted on the rear of a fifth-wheel than a motorhome. Unfortunately, the XTC4 does not work on a fifth-wheel trailer application. Also, even if the XTC4 could work, there is only a 3-1/2" distance between the center of the shank's pinhole to the closest part of the rack...

• 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...

• 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...

• Using an Adapter Bar on a Step Through Bike on a Swagman Chinook
  Normally, you can use an adapter bar like part # 64005 to secure a bike with a step through frame on a platform rack like the Swagman Chinook, part # S64683. A lot of times the seat tube and connection to the rear wheel will be higher, and this creates the platform that we generally will use to support the bar and give the frame clamp something to hold on to. With the 2014 Trek 7.3 FX WSD, the seat bar is much lower than normal, and so is the rear support, so the bar will sit at a sharp...

• Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2017 BMW X5
  The trunk mount bike rack that I recommend for you to use on your 2017 BMW X5 is the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633. This is a 3 bike rack that comes with both bike and bike rack locks to help prevent theft, plus it has SuperCush anti-sway cradles with ratcheting ZipStrip straps which can accommodate sensitive bike frames like carbon fiber. It also prevents bike-to-bike contact while you are heading down the road and also allows you to fold down the arms when not in use for extra...

• Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2008 Honda Odyssey
  To start, I recommend using Draw-Tite hitch # 75270, which is a confirmed fit on your 2008 Honda Odyssey. This is a Class III, 2" hitch which is a complete bolt-on installation so no drilling into your Odyssey's frame will be required; I've added a link to a video of this hitch being installed on an '08 Odyssey for you to check out. As for a bike rack, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 # HR1450Z, which uses padded hooks to grasp your bikes by the top tubes and adjustable...

• Recommended Bike Rack And Shank For Clearance on 2014 Honda Odyssey
  The Receiver Mount for Advantage SportsRack V-Rack 2 Bike Carrier - 2" Hitches # HE6007 has a measurement of 6-1/4 inches from hitch pin hole to tube end. This will not be long enough to even clear your bumper with some of the hitches available for your 2014 Honda Odyssey as you can see in the attached video. The Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack for 2" Ball Mounts - Towing # C18013 can be used with Ball Mount 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop, Extra Long # D-26 or the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer...

• How Far do Arms of Curt and Swagman Towing Bike Racks Extend?
  The Curt bike rack you referenced is for use with a 2" ball mount and not for a hitch extender; additionally, the hitch extender would reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. Do you not have the required 1-1/2" of space on your ball mount's shank to use the Curt bike rack? If you let me know the issue and what you are trying to do I may be able to help you find a solution.

• Recommended Bike Rack For 2015 Range Rover Sport
  The only trunk mounted bike rack that we have that is compatible with your 2015 Range Rover Sport is the SeaSucker Hornet Rear Window Bike Rack - Handlebar Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted # 298-BH1302. To carry two bikes, you would need to use 2 of these carriers. My recommendation is to use a roof rack and bike rack. For this, I recommend the Rhino-Rack roof rack comprised of: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 59" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA150B-2 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs...

• Recommended Hitch and Swing Away Bike Rack for 2017 Nissan NV2500
  For your 2017 Nissan NV2500, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13109. When using about 1/2 of Curt hitches they will require a stability strap # 18050 for their warranty, however, this hitch does not require it. When it is required it is stated in the installation instructions and I've attached them to confirm it is not required on this particular hitch or the stronger # C14000 which is also a fit for your vehicle. As you stated, these are made in the USA. The stability...

• Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack Recommendation For 2015 Chevrolet Equinox
  I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98865 for your 2015 Chevrolet Equinox. This class III receiver will accept bike racks with a 2" hitch tube. The maximum tongue weight for the receiver is 350lbs which is more than enough for 2 bikes. The Thule Apex XT 2 Bike Rack # TH9024XT is the bike rack I recommend for your Equinox. It can carry 2 bikes up to 37.5lbs each and supports those bikes at 3 points to stop the bikes from swaying in the rack. A built in anti-rattle device,...
