This bike rack is very sturdy and well built. I have a very heavy ebike that weighs 93 lbs without the battery. This is my 3rd rack and the last one I'll ever need because this is perfect for me especially getting another ebike. Easy to put together.
The rack works very well. Keeps our bikes nice and tight. I like the center post option to stabilize the bikes. I added rear tail lights because at times we cover them while towing our Jeep Wrangler behind our RV. I also added a cable and lock system for safety as we travel.
It took less than an hour to put together. Very sturdy and well built.
Easy to load and unload and the fold up option is great.
I upgraded my bike rack with this new one from Outfitr’s from my 1 inch one and it was vast improvement. I traveled from from Virginia to Florida with my old 1 inch rack and I was a nervous wreck the whole time because of how it bounced and rocked back and forth and I was worried my bikes would fall off and into traffic behind me. I put this new bike rack on and gave it a test ride and I couldn’t be more pleased with how little it moved. Total peace of mind and just in time for vacation back to Florida again this year!
This is a solid piece of equipment...ease of loading your bike is 5-star. The 3 secure points are very easy to operate and hold very tight. Would recommend this bike rack to everyone with a heavier bike. Threaded hitch pin sleeve will not allow a locking hitch pin to go thru would be the only drawback I see...
Bought this bike rack for a hunting e bike and it works awesome. The ramp makes it easy to use and walk right up. It holds the bike securely and the threaded bolt holds the hitch snug so there is no wobble like other bike racks.
For the money, I really like this rack. It’s strong and sturdy and holds the bikes securely. The rack handle makes it easy to fold it up when not carrying bikes. And loading and unloading the bikes is easy. So what’s the problem? Because it’s a heavy bike carrier, most people will fold it up rather than remove the carrier when not in use. And as you may see from the picture, the carrier tends to obscure the license plate (and the car break light) when folded up.
Sorry about the messy garage. 😀
I purchased the two place E-bike Rack with the Ramp. Assembly was fairly simple but the instructions were only mildly helpful. I'm glad I didn't allow the negative reviews to influence my purchasing decision because I didn't experience any of the issues in those reviews. All. the bolt holes lined up, the straps worked perfectly, and II have no concerns with my bike falling off when properly fastened to a properly assembled rack. I would buy this rack again.
-Clear instructions
-Pretty easy assembly
-Very secure - first use today!
-We have 2 82# e-bikes and there
aren’t many racks that can
handle that. This rack handled
the weight with no issues and
was far less than anything
comparable.
For the price it is solid and lightweight, and attaches to hitch easily and seems sturdy. The bike loaded onto rack effortlessly and once strapped in it felt very secured. The only thing I’m not a fan of is having to use a ratchet to secure the rack to the hitch.
This rack is wonderful at giving me the ability to load my bike without hurting myself...however the rack itself is almost too heavy for me to lift to get it on and off of my car. Assembly required a trip to get proper metric wrench sizes but was fairly easy. Only complaint I have was that the prongs on the aluminum ramp arrived bent so they would not go into the ramp holes. I used a wrench to straighten them as best I could so it was useable. Would buy again.
This was by far the easiest rack to put together. Plus it’s not too difficult to take on and off my vehicles. I LOVE IT!
We have used our rack several times now. It seems to work well. I am pleased with the quality, strength and the way the ebikes fit on it. One person can handle it, but it is easier with two people. It gets quicker each time we use it. The built-in straps for the tires hold it secure as well as the adjustable vertical bar and strap. We had to choose this style because we have the step-through style ebikes.
Everything went together perfectly everything fit perfectly. I think it's a high-quality E bike lift for the money.
I was hesitant to give this a five-star but I only did because way it is lightweight. I have some pros and cons about it. Pro is it is lightweight and folds up or it will not stick out. Cons are instructions. Could be a little bit better with word instructions along with the pictures also had issues with the back tire block. Would not lock down when loading bike, I ended up taking off the rubber tip at the edge of ramp pull off and readjust the screw. A suggestion would be to make this a spring loaded screw so you can twist it properly to tighten down. Took longer to put this together than it should have. It's still a great product. You just need to make some adjustments.
Hi David,
The front wheel holder has been assembled incorrectly—it should be flipped upside down for proper installation. Additionally, the rear wheel holder should touch the front part of the rear wheel, meaning the rear wheel should make contact with both the wheel holder and the tray simultaneously. This will ensure a secure fit.
User friendly. I need to order 2 #12 connecting blocks, and that loading tray to roll my bike up the rack,if it comes with my bike rack?
I was honestly surprised at how sturdy this rack is. Instructions could use clearer illustrations. I bought the hitch tightener for the connection to the truck. There’s still a lot of wobble within the rack itself. Wondering if another hitch tightener somewhere would help…
I added some reflective stickers in hopes of avoiding rear-end collisions.
Considering the E bike is way heavier and a little harder to lift up completely put in the back of your truck after a long day. I really am glad I purchased this. Wish I bought it the first time bought a cheaper one, but the weight band.
I had waited 7 weeks for a bike rack from a competitor. Finally cancelled that order and purchased this item and it showed up on my door within 2 days. This thing survived a 1,400 miles of highway travel and 100 miles of rough backcountry in the Big Bend area in TX. Great product at a reasonable price.
Hi Kevin, thanks so much for your 5-star review! We’re glad you like the rack. If you flip the front wheel holder upside down during assembly, it should fit even better. Appreciate your feedback!
It took me awhile to assemble the rack as parts of instructions seemed to be from IKEA. Lol
I do have a question- where does ramp wire tie into?
I must say this rack works great for our e-bike. We put two e-bikes on the rack and both are 82 pounds and this rack handles the load no problem. Delivery was on time and the package was in good shape from UPS. I would recommend this rack.
