Looked long and hard for a bike rack rated for my new ebike weighing 60 lbs. Lots of options but purchased the two bike rack with ramp. Very pleased with the quality and ease of loading my ebike using the ramp. Highly recommend for the quality and price. First bike ride in over a decade and look forward to using my OUTFITR easy loading ebike rack for future travel adventures.

We purchased this Outfitr 2-Bike Hitch E-Bike Rack to transport our new e-bikes, and overall, we are very impressed with its strength and ease of use. My bike is a large 26-inch frame with 4-inch fat tires, and my wife’s is a bit smaller; together, they weigh roughly 140 lbs. This rack handles that weight with ease, feeling exceptionally sturdy and secure.

Assembly and Loading:

Easy Setup: Most of the parts come pre-assembled, so getting it ready for the vehicle was extremely simple and straightforward.

Effortless Loading: The included ramp is a lifesaver. Loading heavy e-bikes can be a chore, but using the ramp makes it nearly effortless to get them onto the trays.

Versatile Cradles: The 5-inch wide steel trays and movable cradles easily accommodated my fat tires and the different wheelbases of our two bikes.

Daily Use and Functionality:
The fold and tilt capability is one of my favorite features. Being able to tilt the rack down even when the bikes are fully loaded is a huge plus—it allows me to open the rear hatch of my SUV without any clearance issues. When we aren't using the rack, it folds up against the vehicle easily with one hand.

Important Observations:
While we love the rack, there are two minor issues with the ramp system and one safety consideration for those with larger bikes:

Ramp Storage: There is no dedicated way to stow the ramp on the rack itself once the bikes are loaded. I’ve ended up just tossing it into the back seat of the car.

Ramp Removal: Because my bike has an extremely large wheelbase, I found it somewhat cumbersome and difficult to remove the ramp once the bike was loaded and secured.

Width: With my larger bike, the rear wheel extends almost 2 feet beyond the width of the car. You definitely need to keep this extra clearance in mind when driving and parking.

Verdict:
Despite these small concerns, none of them are deal-breakers. The "Anti-falloff" and "anti-wobble" structures really do keep the bikes from swaying on the road, even on rougher terrain. If you need a rack with a superb 200 lb total capacity and a user-friendly design, this is a fantastic investment!

This is a very useful bike rack. It has an easy to load ramp included that can be conveniently stored on the back of the rack. The ramp also makes it easy to load relatively heavy eBikes onto the rack, a consideration for the ladies and perhaps older persons who would otherwise have troubles lifting a heavier bike onto the rack. The rack itself is relatively light weight which makes it easier to attach and store when not in use.
I felt very secure with the bike/rack on the back of my SUV.
For a single bike transportation this is a great choice.

We purchased the 2-E-bike folding carrier with ramp & lock to carry our 68 lbs. e-bikes. Carrier assembly was easy, construction of the bike rack is made of steel and aluminum and it is very study. With both bikes mounted the rack does no move, not even on speed bumps! The ramp makes loading the bikes easy and it is easy to insert in the 2" receiver and secure. I highly recommend is rack for heavy e-bikes.

Most people have bikes because we are getting older. Having the ramp with the hitch is wonderful. I'm a 61 year old grandma and I put it together by myself.

I just assembled and used the 4 bike rack. Relatively easy to assemble. The design is excellent and modular so that you can use it either as a two bike rack or 4 bike rack. The modularity also allows one to more easily handle it when attaching to the bumper hitch.
Also as my photo shows storage is amazing for such a system! It will fit in a closet or garage area out of the way with no problem!

What’s Great:
Solid, heavy-duty construction: The Outfitr Swing Arm Kit feels robust and well built. When mounted properly, the swing arm gives a very secure foundation; it doesn't feel flimsy or prone to flex — so you get real confidence mounting bikes and driving on rough roads.
Reliable locking / double-lock mechanism: A major selling point is how the swing-out is secured: once locked it stays reliably in place, and the double-lock mechanism ensures the rack won’t unexpectedly swing out while driving. That kind of redundant safety inspires a lot of trust, especially when hauling bikes on highways or through bumpy terrain.
Stability under load: With the rack in place, everything feels stable, even when fully loaded. The swing-arm mechanism does its job, holding the rack firmly and minimizing wobble or shaking — which many standard hitch-mounted racks struggle with. Swing-away racks like this are often praised for their durability and the enhanced stability they offer compared to simpler hitch or trunk-mounted systems.

Convenience & rear access: Because the rack swings out of the way, you don’t have to remove the bikes to get to your hatch or rear cargo — a huge advantage on trips when you need frequent access to the back of your vehicle. This convenience is often highlighted as the main reason people choose swing-arm solutions.

Where It Could Be Better:
Protrudes quite far from the vehicle: The biggest downside I noticed is that the rack — when mounted — sticks out a fair distance behind the vehicle. For some cars this doesn’t matter much, but for others it can make parking, backing up, or navigating tight spaces more challenging. It also increases overall vehicle length, which can be a hassle in compact parking lots or among heavy traffic. Extended overhang is a commonly noted trade-off with swing-arm / hitch racks.

Missed opportunity to engineer a closer-fit design:
Given how well the rest of the kit is built, it feels like there was room to improve the design so the rack sits closer to the rear of the vehicle. A more compact swing-arm — or a shorter offset — might have achieved the same “swing-out for access” functionality without making the car significantly longer overall.

Verdict:
Overall, the Outfitr Swing Arm Kit is a very solid, high-value choice for anyone who frequently transports bikes and wants the convenience of rear-access without unloading everything. Its strong construction, stable swing-out mechanism, and secure locking give real peace of mind and a sense of long-term durability. This kit delivers almost everything you want in a swing-arm rack.

ASSEMBLY WENT WILL. FITMENT WITH THE BIKES WAS GREAT.

The Outfitr 4118 has quickly become my preferred hitch rack, moving beyond basic bike hauling to offering a truly user-friendly experience. After several trips, (both short local hauls) I can confidently say this rack delivers on its promise of convenience and security.

Ease of Assembly: Up and Running Quickly

One of the first things that impressed me was the ease of assembly. Straight out of the box, the process was straightforward and intuitive. The instructions were clear, and the major components were pre-assembled, requiring only minimal tool use to secure the main arm and the rack trays to the hitch mount. I had the entire unit assembled and mounted to my vehicle in under 30 minutes, which is a major win when you’re eager to get on the road.

A Game-Changer: The Loading Ramp

The included loading ramp is, without a doubt, a game-changer, especially for anyone hauling heavier bikes or electric bikes (e-bikes). It removes the awkward, back-straining lift completely. You simply attach the ramp to the connection point, roll the bike into the tray, and secure it. This feature alone drastically reduces the effort and potential for scratches or drops during the loading process, making the 4118 a top choice for accessibility.

Security and Accessibility Features;

The core locking mechanisms are robust and reliable:

Top Mount Clamp: The ratcheting top mount clamp secures the bike frame quickly and firmly without damaging the carbon or painted surfaces. It holds the bike vertically in place almost instantly, allowing you to move on to securing the wheels with confidence.

Tilt Lockout Mechanism: The tilt lockout is an essential feature for hatch or trunk access. It allows you to quickly tilt the rack (even when loaded) away from the vehicle to access the rear cargo area without having to unload the bikes entirely. The mechanism feels solid, locking securely into both the vertical and tilted positions, eliminating any worry about accidental movement while driving.

Enhanced Safety with Integrated Lights

The integrated lights are a significant safety upgrade. Unlike racks that obstruct your vehicle’s taillights, the 4118 connects directly to the trailer wiring harness to provide fully functional brake, running, and turn signals. This dramatically increases visibility and ensures that you remain compliant and safe on the highway, especially in poor weather or at night.

Pro Tip: Adding Extra Stability

While the rack is incredibly secure, I highly recommend adding a separate stability strap (like a basic cam buckle strap) around the wheels and the wheel tray. The included wheel cradles and straps are excellent, but for maximum peace of mind on long, bumpy stretches of road, this extra strap takes only seconds to secure and virtually eliminates any lateral movement or 'jiggle' from the bike.

Unbeatable Value

Speaking of investment, the price point of the Outfitr 4118 is one of its most compelling attributes. Given the robust feature set—integrated ramp, secure clamps, and lights—this rack punches significantly above its weight class. It genuinely makes you question why you would pay a premium for more established, expensive brands when the 4118 delivers equal, if not superior, functionality and build quality at a more accessible cost. It's truly unmatched value.

Final Verdict

The Outfitr 4118 is a premium rack that justifies its price tag through thoughtful design, robust security, and unparalleled convenience, thanks to the loading ramp. It's a rock-solid investment for serious cyclists.

My concern with buying this is whether it would work with my wife’s step-through bike. It works perfectly! So easy to load both bikes and they are rock solid. The rack is strong, well built metal but easy to maneuver and quick to load/unload bikes. Plus I can access my SUV hatch when I carry one bike (outside) or when it’s folded and low profile for driving around town. It’s possible to tilt the rack back with two bikes on it but they don’t recommend it and it’s so quick to pull the inside bike off anyway I don’t worry about it.

This rack is very well made. It fits my bike perfectly along with a friend's. The straps keep it secure. The hitch bolt is kind of a pain as it has to screw in versus pushed through. Lining it up can be tricky. Also, it doesn't have any side stability, so when you go down a gravel, bumpy road, it oscillates A LOT. But I like how you can drop it down to load and push it up to take off. Good engineering.

Its fit and look good

This worked out perfectly for toting around my nearly 100lb E-bike. I highly recommend it to everybody looking for a lightweight inexpensive bike rack.

I ordered this rack from Outfitr because of an advertised 200 lb. weight capacity. Our bikes are large and heavy, I think in the neighborhood of 90 lbs. The photo shows the size. I remove the batteries for travel simply to lighten the load on this rack. It has done very well to date. I can think of no instance that I would 'tilt' this rack down with this weight on it but the ability to fold up the rack and leave it on the truck is a bonus when I'm not towing.

I’ve had the rack now for two days and honestly, it’s really sturdy and durable which I’m surprised because it’s $250. 0 to 48 mph you will hear a wooshing sound, But honestly, it’s not that bad once you hit like 65 to 70. The bolts are really sturdy and the C clamps are actually good quality.
