Hollywood Racks Sport Rider 2" Hitch Bike Rack, Carries 2 Bikes up to 80 lbs Each for Standard, Fat Tire and Electric Bicycles - Heavy Duty, Foldable Ebike Rack for Car, Truck, and SUV

The media could not be loaded. This rack is one of the only ones that combines affordability with extremely high quality *and* carries the full weight of two Juiced RipCurrfent S ebikes! It is out-of-stock almost everywhere it’s sold as soon as it’s in stock, so if you need one and it’s available, I highly recommend you GET ON IT NOW!This heavy duty rack is made for a 2” hitch receptacle, and won’t work with anything smaller. Anything less would probably not hold two of these 80 lb bikes and survive a road trip.Pros:It’s super easy to put together; I did it without reading the instructions and only had to do a couple things over because I didn’t foresee the sequence. That said, the instructions are very simple to read and follow. No tools needed that aren’t included except for one bolt, which requires a crescent or open-end wrench and plier or socket wrench, as it isn’t the same size as the nuts the included “plug-wrench” is for.It is HEAVY duty, but not extremely heavy! I’m 62 and can easily put it on and take it off by myself. If you can lift your ebike, you can install this assembled rack on your hitch.Getting it to fit your bike is fairly simple, you just adjust the sliding wheel holders until your bike fits snugly in them, set fully down into them so the tire hits both front and rear contact points, then tighten them in place.The tilt-down feature will make getting into your hatchback or pickup bed easy, and is easily done alone as well. Older people may want to enlist the aid of their co-rider if two bikes are on board.The tilt-up feature for getting the rack out of the way when bikes are off the rack is simple to use and solidly locks in place.The anti-rattle/shake feature that grips the hitch pin works really well, and is easy to set once the hitch is installed and the pin in place. It pulls the pin toward the hitch, pulling it tight against a welded stop on the mounting tube where it goes into the hitch, effectively keeping the rack from wiggling in the hitch. It will still move, but doesn’t clatter around noisily.The provided cable lock is pretty high quality! Like any other cable, it’s not going to stop a thief who has time to spend getting it off, but it will keep your bike(s) safely on the rack if you’re not leaving it somewhere unattended for long. It also doubles really well as an added safety feature to wrap around your top tubes while transporting your bikes on any truck with a rack and rear crossbar; I just wrap the cable lock around my rear rack bar and the top tubes on the bikes and if there’s somehow a failure of the rack/hitch connection (pin breaks, something else breaks and connection fails - highly unlikely) it will keep the rack and bikes from bouncing down the highway. It also works well for securing the rack to the vehicle by running it through the safety-chain hooks on the hitch as additional security to compliment the less-than-optimum pin lock that’s provided (more on that in Cons)Overall, considering how good this rack is, the price is the final Pro it has going for it. It’s cheaper than anything else on the market that does what it does. Period. Which is why it never remains in stock for long. If you buy directly from Hollywood Racks, you’ll get in line for delivery when it’s in stock, which could be a while. If you buy from Amazon, you’ll get it an a couple days because if it’s not in stock it says “Item Unavailable”. eTrailer.com also sells them but they run out quickly too, though they do a great job of keeping in touch to let you know they haven’t forgotten about you, plus they have a ton of trailer-related items on their site and really knowledgeable staff for answering questions and steering you to the right accessories for anything you may need.The Cons:Not too many, but a couple in particular, like the above-mentioned pin lock. It’s just not a confidence-inducing lock, all things considered. With the anti-rattle tightening mechanism tight, this hitch pin is locked in place well enough so that the pin won’t fall out while driving if the lock happens to come off (not properly installed/locked, fails for some reason, etc), but if the steel band that wraps the pin ever rusts it may break someday and the pin will be loose in the receiver. The lock fits loosely on the pin, the cap covering the key hole doesn’t seat well over the lock and the whole thing feels just a bit like a weak point. A higher quality pin and lock would be a good investment even though those provided are of fair quality.One thing to note is that you can install the pin end of the cable lock into the lock itself without turning the key, which makes it a lot easier to lock, and this may translate to the pin lock as well, though I haven’t tried it yet. I mention it because getting the key into the lock while it’s under the rear of your vehicle and trying to get it seated and locked is a pain, but if it pushes on, this will be a much easier process.The tightening grips on the nuts that hold the tire seats in place on the rack are set so that, when the tire seats are right next to each other on the crossbars they sit on, the grip for one won’t turn a full circle without hitting the other one’s grip, making it impossible to tighten one tire seat fully. Not really an issue since once the tires are strapped in with the rubber cinches the tire seats can’t slide, and the screws in the ends of the crossbars provide a stop so they can’t slide off the bar when loose, but it’s something they should fix, and something you can plan for when installing yours so that they are spaced a bit further apart from each other. I tried keeping my bike centered behind my truck when transporting it by itself, so when I put two on the rack, they ended up right next to each other. Sliding them four inches apart when running two bikes would probably solve the problem, but the bikes will stick out the side of your vehicle more.I think that’s really it for Cons. A bottom line for anyone considering this rack is DO IT! I wish the suggested star ratings here weren’t limited to “Lock feature”, “Easy to lock” and “Easy to assemble”, because two of those three happen to be minor issues that really take away from what is a solid five star rating even WITH the minor lock issues.

Great Product, high quality, built very well, good for my ebike and more.

Easy assembly. Well thought out design, from the key locked hitch with tightening mechanism to the snap pins for foldup and tilt down. Mounting 60 lb bikes is best done inside wheel holders first. The hold down clamp can get in the way even with beam folded down, so it was easiest to remove both hold down clamps, mount the inside bike and then slide them on again. Can be done alone, but easier with two people. Nice 7 foot security cable and also binding red strap. Storage takes a reasonably small space laying flat. Very pleased thus far. Will update this review after first usage.

I've been researching racks for my 2 Ebikes for a while. Both of each weight 65lbs. No one in my area has one from Hollywood Racks. So I took a gamble USA company with a great history I felt comfortable buying. During unboxing that's when I got a little upset to see in big letters MADE IN CHINA well crap, I thought. I've purchased 2 other racks in the past that I wasn't impress at all.This Hollywood rack is very great. Thick wall square tubing, very solid, no shake - wobbles. The tightening hitch pen thingy is great. It is heavy but it's designed to haul heavy bikes no big deal for me.I have hauled several hundreds of miles now and feel very secured no worries even though I do keep an eye in the mirrors to make sure everything is riding right.It comes with great instructions and video on this page as you know if you are reading this.Comes with lock cable which is decent, a tied down strap which everyone should use! Lock hitch pen and the hold down arms that go over the top tube of the frame lock also. Big plus is that all the locks are keyed the same. Comes with 2 keys... you better go to locksmith and get 2 more keys made and stash them in vehicle. I think it would really suck to get to the trail and can't unlock bikes from rack.The only downfall for me is that it is made in china.. but I still gave it 5 stars I do my best not to do that but you will like this rack too

This is the only rack I've found that actually fits my fat tire e-bikes in properly.

We are so pleased with this bike rack. The instruction video on the seller's page was so helpful. I'm a very small 5" person and was able to install this on our Subaru Ascent without any issues. There is zero wobble with this bike rack. We have two 65lb (with the battery) fat tire e-bikes. We took the battery out and loaded our bikes. It was very easy to adjust the wheel carriers to fit our bikes. The strap that went over each tire is just like our snowboard straps and works very well. Our bikes are step through so we also purchased the bar that goes between the handlebars and the seats. The bar is so easy to put on the bikes and really creates a solid tight fit. We live in an extremely mountainous area with steep windy roads and our bikes were so stable the entire trip home. We're taking them on a long, cross-country road trip in a few weeks and feel very comfortable that our bikes will be safe and sound. We did get a waterproof bike cover and a rear license plate holder for our long trip. Locally it is not needed.
