Best Electric Bike Car Rack (2024 Update)

We have two fatties (a Motobecane and a Farley 5) and I'd been using hitch rack from which the bikes hang. The problem was that the bikes would swing and sometimes work their way out of the top clamp. That's a problem on a highway. This new rack is fantastic. The hitch mount includes a screw-in hitch pin that locks the rack firmly in place. The wheel cradles include velcro bands to secure the tires in place, and the clamps on the vertical pole have pins to stop them from coming loose. The two bikes are held incredibly well. I can even back out of the driveway without dragging the rack or the bikes on the ground. That was another problem with my old hanging rack – the bikes hit the ground when I drove up an incline. For about $150 this is a steal – get it before they are gone.StayAtHomeBob

This bike carrier uses an unlockable M16-2 bolt to secure the rack to the receiver hitch. To prevent theft I found a matching locking bolt at etrailers. The other vulnerability of this carrier is the M16 bolt that secures the two-part main frame together and I am substituting an M16x70mm shoulder bolt with an M12-1.75 thread end and an M12-1.75 locking wheel nut to secure it. Otherwise, the rack is fine for the member price.ralphm

This bike carrier is designed so it can be assembled as a single bike carrier or a 2 bike carrier. I began with it as a single bike carrier and the square tube plugs directly into the receiver without the extension pieces and all that extra weight. also, as a single is several inches lower. I'm pulling a trailer so I need a bifurcator in the receiver . The Lower hole is for an extension and the hitch ball and the upper hole is for the bike rack. I had done this before with the Allen 4 bike carrier. This design supports the wheels rather than hanging the bikes by the frame top tube. with a heavy fat tire , or worse an ebike this is much easier to load the bike on. Lift the front wheel into its wheel support loop, then lift the back wheel onto it support loop. with the frame hanging design the entire bike weight has to be lifted at once. Also my ebike is a step through, so there is no upper tube to hang it from. tThis carrier is rated for 200# so that is enough to carry two 70# ebikes with capacity to spare. This carrier is 55% the cost of the Amazon versions and has more weight capacity. The one down side is the plastic topped "wing bolts". cannot be tightened enough by hand to secure the wheel support loops in place or the inverted "vee" frame holder. This 71 year old had to put a wrench on to wing to tighten them adequately, and the plastic wing was obviously distressed. It didn't break. Might have been better to just leave the hex bolt heads exposed.rway227

This was a bit challenging to put together, and needs an adapter to keep it from rattling and moving around in the hitch receiver. That was an easy fix. Haven't used it on any long trips or rough roads. Hope it holds up. I like the design.Lauren H.

Unfortunately for us, we have a small 2019 SUV and although this product supported the weight of our e-bikes (~60-Lbs. each) perfectly, it was too long that it leaned really low on the backend. We even got pulled over by a police officer because we didn't have any markers or lights for an accessory sticking out past 4-feet behind our vehicle!? He recommended us putting reflectors or some kind of reflective tape, so motorists behind us could gauge the extension from our ramp? We had to return it and were charged a restocking fee by Discount Ramps (per their policy, so be sure what you order is correct for your vehicle and application or you'll pay to try. Also, it was a horrible experience trying to get it sent back! Awful experience on the return.)John

My sister and I both have an electric bike that each weighs 65 lbs. My old bike rack was not able to tolerate that much weight. As most of the bike racks require you to lift the bike onto the rack which was not something I could do especially for the back bike. This carrier is super easy to get the bike up on with the ramp and is plenty sturdy enough for both the bikes. I love it!JW

i use this carrier for two E-Bikes. it is heavy to work with Approximately 80Lbs. Nicely designed and easy to assemble. It would be nice if it could configure for a one bike carrier as well. the anti-tilt collar is a clever design.W.Peter

The NV 2.0 is the top of the line for tray-style racks. It's loaded with features and quality-made. I'm extremely happy with this product. The price is about 30% higher than Thule or Yakima products in this category, but it is very difficult to compare other tray-style racks to the NV 2.0. The construction, materials, and finish provide a longer-lasting product. But it's the features that set this rack apart from the competitors including: – Smooth action: All of the parts move with precision. No catching, clunking, sticking, or grinding! – The integrated locks. They're much easier to use being on a cable – The anti-rattle mechanism is the best on the market and by far the easiest to use – The foot-pedal latch to lower or raise the rack – The built-in bike repair stand is neat but not super practical I own a Thule T2 Pro system but we upgraded to the Kuat rack for my wife's vehicle as it is so much easier to operate.Nick F

The Kuatt bike rack is the strongest, steadiest and most stable bike rack I've seen and used. Good instructions for assembling. The team at Al's got it shipped quickly and accurately.Rob

Pop the existing rear cover off your existing Kuat NV Base 2.0, slap this 2-Bike Add-on with two EASILY accessed bolts and in less than 8 minutes you're on the road with the entire family. I greatly dislike driving around with a 4-Bike platform rack when 90% of my riding is solo/double, so this easy on/off solution really sold me. Between me and my friends, I have used nearly every rack brand on the market and Kuat might build the best aftermarket ANYTHING, not just racks, that I have ever purchased for my vehicles. I doubt I'll ever have to exercise my lifetime warranty, but if I do need to call them for any purpose, be prepared for some pretty awesome customer service. Their team is ON IT and even their hold recordings are hilarious.JamKona

Rockymounts Backstage Swingaway by David George (09 Dec 2021) This bike rack was exactly what I needed and it works brilliantly on my Prado and Sprinter van. Easy to fit, operate and swingaway to access the rear doors easily. We carry two 20+kg e-bikes and it handles it just fine. Well built, designed and robust, with a nice locking feature. We use a cheap trailer lightboard but probably should have just got a purpose made one from the online store. Great service from the Roof Rack Store; ordered online and it arrived in record time and at the best price I could find anywhere. Very satisfied.David G

I was looking for a way to bring bicycles along when traveling with my pickup bed camper. The issue is being able to open the rear camper door. As far as I can tell this rack is the only really good solution. I've tried many other ways of making this work, but all had major issues. Just putting on extensions worked but made the rig much too long. Putting the bikes on the front lowers both visibility and clearance. With the Rocky Mounts BackStage tilting the bikes down works for a quick way to squeeze in when you are short on time or space and swinging the bikes takes about 10 seconds and gets the bikes out of the way completely. I installed a small piece of rubber where the bikes would touch the camper jack. Two points. This rack has a lot of adjustment flexibility that may not be apparent at first glance. You can install the runners the opposite direction (as I have in the photos) to change the left/right orientation of the handle bars of the bikes. Additionally, if you (like me) want a bit more confidence in the connection between the bike and the rack (what if the front tire goes flat?) I found nice orange quick buckle straps at my local discount hardware store for less that $3 for a pair. I've included a photo of that setup also. It's not that hard to put together, easier than most things. The bolt that holds the rack to the receiver has an ingenious ball bearing an pin setup that tightens things (no wiggles) up better than anything else I've ever used. Finally, IT'S A BEAST. While it's not that heavy, it is super heavy duty. You can stand on it while fully expanded without any noticeable flex.Old topologist

I have yet to leave on an extensive road trip but I will say this wasn't at all a difficult Bike Rack to assemble. I did however add Cargo extension taillights to the Rack as it does stick out a bit. Some other manufacturers have racks with built-in lights that you just hook right up to your 4 prong plug under the rear bumper. This is by far an excellent double Swing Away Rack and would highly recommend it to others that own a Van and need to have access to the rear doors without removing the rack itself.David D

Excellent lightweight rack. I bought thinking in functionality and easy to use. It met my expectations. I will add a couple of cons and pros to why you want this bike rack. Pros It fits well: It's versatile. It can be used in 1.25' or 2.00 Easy to carry around: If you do not want to have it installed, it folds excellent to keep in your trunk. I have a small car, and it fits well. Good stability: I tested on the freeway. No issues. My bike is 28 pounds. I did not try for more than one bike or heavier bikes. Cons: It only has one locker key. It could be nice to have two keys.IdaPearl

After reading reviews and watching countless videos on single-bike racks I settled on the Kuat Transfer V2 because of the simple, thoughtful design, compact size, and low profile that doesn't interfere with the backup camera or rear hatch access. The rack was easy and quick to assemble and has excellent fit and finish. Installed into the hitch receiver with the 2" adapter, it is tight and sturdy. Loading and unloading the bike is a cinch, and the tilt away to allow opening the back hatch is perfect. Did I mention thoughtful design? To release the hitch for tilting or folding up there's a foot pedal rather than a hand release – so convenient. With the bike (an aluminum frame hard tail, about 30-35 pounds) loaded and clamped down it is rock solid. There is no sway or wobble and very little bounce even over hard bumps or holes. I'm really impressed with the looks, function, and quality of this rack and recommend giving it serious consideration.Craig

Took it on a 5 hour drive with a 50 lb E-Bike on it. Might have shook the tires loose. Had some locking tire skewers installed at a bike shop. SInce the tires are the only part locked onto the rack, it could have made the tires loose. I'm only minusing a star from bad design on the hitch pin area. they have an adapter that makes its fit into a 2 inch receiver. That causes the hole to be off center and can only use a 1/4 thick locking pin to be used. Also at this price they could supply a locking hitch pin so someone doesn't just walk off with both the bike and the rack.Wilson

Seems a good rack but can be a bit fiddly to get on & off the car. The rack is nice & compact for storing when not in use.NIALL R.

This saved me about $1000 US. Well worth every penny. So easy to put on and take off it seems like a steal at the price I got it for. Great for transporting two bikes to and fro. Such a novel idea seemed like it would not work. So not the case.phatguy29

We got our T2 Pro X a couple of months ago after getting a carbon frame mountain bike that couldn't be safely put on our old hanging rack. This rack is perfect for both our mountain and road bikes! Features I love: – Locks to hitch – Folds up out of the way when not in use – Easy to remove and stow in the garage – Folds down for rear hatch access with bikes loaded – Option to use the add on for increased capacity Features that need improvement: – Added lock cores to swing arms for bike security, but realized that it would still be really easy to steal a bike off the rack, so always add an extra lock. (only reason for four stars)JMag

I bought this bike rack with the 2-bike add on, and there are some things you should know before you do the same. Unless you're a big fan of Ikea furniture, in which case you'll be fine. 1) It's heavy. Like, really heavy. I ended up buying a wheel to fasten on the bottom so I could roll it around. If I had to do it over I'd spend the extra $250 to get the XTR, which already has a wheel installed. But it was such a pain to put it together I don't want to take it apart to return. If you have the four-bike set up, you need at least another person to move it around. 2) It's poorly engineered. As in, bolts don't line up with pre-drilled holes and key pieces are made of plastic. I stripped a couple of bolts and had to go buy extra because it doesn't come with extra hardware – I mean, for $1450… why would it? 3) The instructions are next-level terrible. I mean, when I finally gave up and Googled a 'how to' video, the first thing the person said was. "The instructions are terrible." Also there isn't an XT video anywhere to be found — just XTR. So prepare to take things apart and put them back together through trial and error. 4) If you're buying this rack because you want the flexibility to go between 2- and 4-bike set-ups… don't. Once it's set up for four bikes, it doesn't go back to two. I'm waiting for the kids to move out then I'll convert it just the one time. Now the positive… 1) The ability to stabilize and lock the rack on the hitch is a nice feature. Although the lock on the hitch also falls into the 'poorly engineered' category. I'm fairly sure it will stop working at one point and it'll be locked onto my vehicle. 2) The bikes are nicely spaced apart. And it's fairly easy to get in and out of the rear door without taking the bikes off. Bottom line, if you're looking for a 4-bike option that you put on your vehicle in the spring and leave it on until the fall, then this is an option for you. However if you're looking for something that installs easily, can go from 2 to 4 bikes, and doesn't take 4 hours to put together (counting buying the extra parts) — then keep looking my friends.MarkB

I've only had this bike rack for a few weeks and it's been perfect for us. Our hitch on an SUV didn't have room for a lock cylinder so the hook lock worked great. The bikes are se ure when mounted and easily moved out of the way to access the back of the vehicle. I bought a big cable to lock the bikes to the rack. Even if the rack came with little locks (it doesn't) I would still use the cable.Doc5605

This is a product that tries to be too many things to too many people. If you have a baby 1.25 inch tow hitch, this works great. However, for the majority of us who have a standard 2-inch hitch, this is an overly complex and finicky install. We never could get this to sit right on our 2 inch hitch, and the adapter made it complicated and difficult to install. It wasn't stable or easy to install. We returned it.moepoe

I love the rack. It's easy to use and I like that it away from the car so I can open the hatchback and that the arms that hold the bike fold down when not in use. I'm sure folks walking behind my car in a parking lot will appreciate this feature. I will say the instructions are not incredibly informative. There are no words, just images and they don't do a great job of explaining how to install this rack into a 1-1/4" tow receiver. It came fully assembled with the 2" receiver adaptor in place. This gets removed in order to fit into the 1-1/4" receiver. When you remove it, take care to leave the small metal piece that fits into the arm that is inserted into the receiver. This will allow the threaded rod to be screwed in and allows you to lock the rack.JD2213

We recently upgraded our mountain bikes to very nice Trek hybrid bikes, and wanted a high quality hitch rack to carry them. We did a lot of research and ultimately decided on the Yakima Ridgeback 2-Hitch Rack. Of note, we previously used a cheap but adequate Allen 2-Hitch Rack. Our frustration began with the installation of this rack. We struggled to get the adapter off, and the instructions were minimal. After finally getting it installed, we tried to load our bikes and about the only thing we accomplished was successfully scratching our brand new bikes. We tried loading them in every way you could imagine. We even tried using the adapter bar we purchased – made no difference. I really cannot see how anybody could fit two bikes on this rack without causing some form of damage to the bikes. I should note that our bikes are very small, carbon-fiber frame bikes – maybe 24 lbs maximum. The product that Yakima is well known for is not evident in this product. I will be taking this back to my local REI as soon as I get off work today. Such a disappointing purchase. Also wanted to share that the tilt mechanism feels like it might snap off at any moment. The plastic is already cracked after less than one month of use. The Yakima sticker on the hitch is also almost completely removed after attempting to load our bikes. I suppose that doesn't matter much, but wanted to share in case you are purchasing partially due to aesthetics.dm5_osu

This rack is heavy duty, in weight also. It does hold my 2 bikes securely and performed well on 2 recent road trips of 30 miles. The rack held tight and the bikes never moved. Padded bar hooks did not harm the paint. Easy to adjust and it folds towards the vehicle when empty if desired. Nice locking ring to run cable to hitch for security as well as the treaded bolt (pin) which prevents unwanted movement of rack. One thing though, the video describing this rack shows that the side bars that hold the bikes are able to pivot making for compact storage. I received my rack with permanent bolts so the arms will not pivot. I asked Bell about this and they did get back with me and explained the video and pictures are of a prototype model and not the final production model which they decided to go with for added strength. It is strong and the arms don't flop around but it does make for a storage issue unless you make a wall rack to store as I did. Overall I am happy with it and it performs well so far. The price was under half of Yakima and Thule brands but I'm sure theirs are lighter and probably aluminum. I would recommend this rack, just don't drop it on your foot.ReCycler

I usually carry just one bike, but have grandchildren with bikes that can be added by purchasing a 3 bike carrier. An additional advantage of the 3 bike carrier is that it is stronger and has more durability. Once assembled it is relatively simple to install on the vehicle and the bikes are very easy to load and are quite secure once loaded. It is important to look closely at the pictures in the instructions because you could use the wrong bolt or install a part backwards. Also, the parts bag was missing a couple of washers but I had extras in my workbench so it was easy to fix the omission. All in all, a very good piece of equipment for the price.Winecountry

For the quality and price, I am very happy that Academy Sports had this Bell product for non-standard frame (0/0) bikes. This Bell model eliminates the need to buy a horizontal bar attachment for standard bike frames (0–0). Clear setup instructions and easy to put together. Another nice feature is the adjustable (three-position) hinge pin to allow for vehicle lift-gate access, bike mounting, and easy fold-up stow-a-way lock feature when bikes are removed, but you don't want to completely remove the bike rack from the vehicle. Impressively, the integrated velcro tire straps, vertical & adjustable bike post locking straps, and a separate red tie locking strap (enough to secure three mounted bikes) did an excellent job to secure the bikes with no rattling or noticeable drag at 70+ mph. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family! Happy Trails Bikers!jcq671

Overpriced for the quality of it, the system for controlling the shake is useless.The pin keeps keeps coming loose that holds the rack in hitch. I rushed into purchasing the rack and now Ill see how it holds up.cruiser07us

scrap iron. The inner dimension of my hitch receiver is 2" the outer dimension of the rack with the shim is > 2". A Bench grinder may bring the size below the size of a hitch receiver. Without the shim it's useless in a 2" hitch receiver.John

Product needs help with assembly. To separate the hitch spacer ( 2 inch to 1-1/4) you need a allen wrench. I have both metric and inch sizes. The screw striped out could not be removed. I had to use a hacksaw to cut it off. Beef up the screw. Rack appears to be solid.arthur

I love the rack. My husband bought me another one and I could never see it. I was always worried that I would get rear ended. With this one, I can always see the bike and who is behind me. The hitch is in very snug with a lock and if I need to get into the back, move a few pins and you are able to load the truck or car without removing your bike or rack. I high recommend this to any bike lover.HappyCamper

Took me about 20 minutes to put this together. The instructions are pretty straight forward, and easy to follow. They remind me of Ikea instructions. It can hold many sizes of bike tires, and doesn't touch the bike frame, which is pretty much a 'must have' feature for me. It's super easy to load and secure a bike on the rack, and would really take something catastrophic to have it come out unintentionally. It's fairly light for it's size, which makes taking it off the car when not in use simple to do if you'd like. I use it to transport a mountain bike and a road bike. It does 'bounce' a little with the mountain bike on it, but it doesn't sway at all. This is the reason I gave it 4 stars (I would have done 4.5 if possible). If the bounce wasn't there, it would get 5. In Mike's review, he said the only thing holding the rack to the car is the safety pin, which is incorrect. If you tighten the knob shown in the video starting at the 2:07 mark, that expands the shaft in the receiver, and keeps it from moving around. You then lock the knob to the base, and then the rack can't be removed from the car- unless you break the knob and have a tool to loosen the hex bolt inside the base of the rack. The safety pin is only there in case that knob should loosen somehow- the pin keeps the rack from falling off the car.LeeJ

The Inno is as good as the One Up rack!! It fit perfectly!!! Low profile that is what I was looking for.. Locsl law enforcement doesn’t like rack that cover the license plates a this one doesn’t!! Great Rack!!!!!1030 Nowell Road B

I purchased the INNO Bike Hitch INH110 but, unfortunately, I am not happy with the purchase. The first thing I noticed when completing an inventory out of the box was that I was missing the six CAP BOLT M8 (instruction description). After contacting the INNO parts service and discovering that they did not have the bolts in stock, I was left with the unenviable task of finding the bolts locally. I asked parts service about simply taking the bolts from another box but was told there were none available. This resulted in me going to my local Home Depot and asking for assistance in allowing me to take various size M8 bolts to the car to determine which would fit the hitch. It turned out to be the M8X1.0X25mm bolt. Assembling the hitch was easy. I then inadvertently discovered that after “correctly” securing the ISP 1068 Safety Pin to the vehicle’s trailer hitch and “correctly” securing the SP 1074 Knob/lock, a fatal flaw was discovered in that I could physically remove the entire INNO bike hitch from the vehicle by simply unlocking the ISP 1068 Safety Pin. This means no manner how I secure the bike to the INNO hitch, a thief can simply undo the ISP 1068 Safety Pin and remove the entire INNO hitch “and” bike without difficulty. Hopefully, I have solved the problem by securing a bike lock cable to the INNO bike hitch and inserting the cable through the vehicle’s hitch post holes. In my opinion, it would have been better if the INNO hitch had a ½" or 5/8" hole to allow a receiver lock bolt to secure the INNO bike hitch to the vehicle. I would not recommend this hitch because of the fatal flaw.Michael1764

I bought this to replace a Thule 908 EuroClassic which I've owned for 12 years. The reason I upgraded was because of the Easyfold's portability and ease of storage. The old carrier is still working perfectly and I don't expect the Easyfold to be any different. Apart from portability and storage, the other advantage is the ratchet style wheel straps which make securing your bikes even easier. The one downside (and one of the reasons it's easier to store) is that the the upright which carries the clamps is slightly smaller, so you have to think carefully about how you present the bikes. Not a huge problem but worth some consideration. Overall, very pleased with a quality product. Delivered on time. Halford's, at the time of purchase, were offering the carrier at the lowest price that I could find on the net.Threlkeld

I bought this bike rack three weeks ago based on how easy it looked to mount on the car. I am usually quite sceptical about manufacturers' videos, but in this case it was spot on. The rack is compact to store, easy to carry and is securely on the car in less than a minute. Getting the bikes on is just as easy and they are very securely held in place. The tilt function to allow access to the boot is really useful making this one of my best purchases for a long time! There is also no need to actually fix the number plate onto the light board as it is held in place with clips making it easy to change if someone wants to borrow it (and they will!) Buying on the Halfords website was easy and delivery fast. Very happy. I was also please with the number plate service at my local branch.Ludders70

Very clever but don't be fooled by all the features in the video. Neither the loading ramp or storage bag is included in the not insignificant purchase price. Also bear in mind that although it states 7 pin electrical connection it is actually a 13 pin connector that only uses 7 pins so if you have an older style 7 pin connector on your vehicle you will need an adaptor. Other than that it is very good. The clamp that fixes it to the tow ball is lockable as are the three clamps that hold the bikes in place, all with a common key. The tilt function is very handy so that you can still access the boot when the carrier is in place. It all fitted easily to our 2008 Ford C-Max, it's just a shame that the storage bag and ramp isn't included. Halfords didn't even sell the bag at the time of our purchase.MrC299

Went to a local bike shop who normally sells another brand which was sold out because of supply chain problems. For less than $200 who needs China? Buy this made in Wisconsin all steel well designed well priced product that does what the European and Japanese brands do.Rick

This is a fantastic purchase. I was contemplating to purchase some used high end brand like Thule or Saris, however when I went to Walmart today to purchase a car battery I notice these were sitting on clearance. So, I decided to do a little background review check and immediately saw all the rave reviews so I had to purchase. At 59.99 + Tax this was a STEAL! Anyway, product had all the ease to mount and dismount when needed. Like some of the other reviewers had stated the locking pin that came along with it is a little over-sized. However, I had already owned another pin so it fit just perfectly. Anyway, if you see this at your local Walmart for sale, and you are looking for a bike carrier for your SUV, don't pass this up.ctrangoblue

Let me start by saying that this rack is better than the standard hitch rack with the two arms that stick out for you to hang your bikes on. I have mountain bikes and arm style racks are like trying to solve a puzzle when loading the bikes. This rack is a little better from that stand point but still requires head scratching to get the pedals, seats and handle bars lined up. For this reason I give it 3 stars. I thought this rack would be an alternative to some $400 racks I have seen and with some modifications and some head scratching it could make a nice rack. PROS: 1. A lot of rack for the money. 2. Buy it online and pick up at the store as the online price is $30 less than in store. Why they won’t price match is beyond me. So you buy online, they take it from the store shelf and move it to a service desk and you walk in and pick it up all in a few hours’ time. CONS: 1. The locking nut to install the rack is mounted to a spring vs being welded to the inside of the draw bar. A pain to get it lined up with the thru hole to install the pin. 2. The V bars will go on too far, past the pin hole alignment and will get wedged in place, then you have to pull hard to get them lose to pull them back to get the pin holes to align. 3. The 1st bike to go on, the one between your car and the V, is difficult because there is very little room between the car and the rack. You are going to scratch the car with the pedals and/or handle bars. 4. You have to move the bikes straight on/off the hooks otherwise the hooks will try to twist the spokes and damage them. 5. 2nd bike is a bit of a puzzle get it to nest up to the 1st bike, but easier than a standard arm type rack. 6. 3rd bike goes on easiest as the draw bar extends away from the 2nd bike. Probably the nicest feature of the rack. 7. 4th bike goes on like the 2nd. 8. Now that the bikes are loaded, you have to slide the 3rd and 4th bike into the 1st two on the sliding draw bar. You’ll have problems getting the 2nd and 3rd bikes to nest together. The sliding draw bar has to go in too far before you can screw down the clamp, nesting the bikes too close to each other. 9. The sliding draw bar clamp doesn’t get tight and allows the rack to wiggle around excessively. This can be fixed by trimming the bottom of the plastic handle to let it screw down farther. 10. The foam rubber bumpers are not long enough. Put them high and you protect the fork on one bike, but then they are too high to protect the lower rear triangle on the mating bike. You can get longer foam at a hardware store.Rackless

This rack was a much better value than the $300+ Four bike rigs on the market. I had it shipped to site through the Walmart Ap, the box was damaged pretty badly but all the pieces were there. It took roughly 30 minutes to assemble, install, and adjust. In the photo you'll see three bikes on it, the fourth kid is still on a tricycle. Can't wait for our family to grow into this rack. The best part is, you can remove the back section and use it as a two bike rig. There is a bit of trail and error to fit your bike, and the neighboring bike. My bike has a rack on the back, I had to adjust the rear mount to clear the support bar. My daughters bike has training wheels and full fenders, that would be a challenge on any bike rack. Carrier looks really solid in the rear view mirror, not much motion.Jonathan

Bonjour, Porte vélo non encore monté, paraît très solide. Par ailleurs je suis très étonné de la performance pour la livraison : commande sur le site le 3 juin à 14h33, livreur devant ma porte le 4 juin à 12h10. Une performance ! .Alain B.

This is the improved version and Yakima has solved the bike movement problem and improved the stiff handle release. Totally enjoying it as this platform bike rack do not scratch the paint on our bikes and is easy to load on and off the car with its lightweight aluminium structure. No regrets!jolenechan

After researching hitch racks I decided to purchase the Yakima DrTray over the Thule that has been rated #1. The thing I was concerned about is the weight of the racks when removing from the vehicle and the ease of changing the positions of the rack when on the vehicle and when the bikes are on the rack. All my other roof rack items are Yakima and they have worked flawlessly over the years. I can only say that the DrTray met all the concerns with its ease on loading, positioning and removing from the vehicle. I would highly recommend the Yakima DrTray to anyone who is looking to purchase a quality hitch rack.Telemanvt

Solid hitch rack. The only issue I have is the rear wheel movement. If you have a long wheelbase the bike tends to move back when vehicle is moving over bumps. They have a updated revised version to alleviate those issues. I wish I would have known and waited. The remote release to tilt bikes is difficult at times but you must move the handle while squeezing the release to move it. The integrated cables are nice but not theft proof.Awkward Geek Cyclist
