Happy with the bike frame adapter bar. Secures my ebike to the bike rack. Transporting ebike allows us to explore new areas.
The frame adapter works great. It is so much easier to secure the bike on the rack. You don’t have to line the bikes seatpost to the clamp n the rack.
Needed. this for our Hollywood rack and it works perfect.
Easy to use and because it hangs on the tire can carry the weight of my electric bike.
Very efficient and courteous service and quick shipping.
A must have for step through Ebikes! Easy on and easy off and secures the bikes to the rack
Worked great for my step through ebike with the Hollywood Sport Rider SE dual bike rack.
works good but really haven't had to use it with the bike rack
Fit my RadRunner 2 Electric Utility bike perfectly. It is very sturdy and the fit and finish of the clips on both ends is great. The adjustable length of the bar works very smoothly.
spendy but needed to strap down step through bikes, love the quality of hollywood gear
Excellent solution to a problem I have had for some time and this bar provides a simple way to load an unusual bike. The photo shows the first attempt and the front tire does not have enough clearance so I bungee cord the front to raise it. Unfortunately the photo I took will not upload. Excellent product and with a little thinking I am able to use it.
Works great. I didn’t realize I only needed it for the step through bike so didn’t need to order two! Wish this would have been clarified when I inquired about the bar before purchase.
Needed an adapter for my new Aventon E-Bike, and this piece fits the bill. Works as promised. Very satisfied.
This adapter bar is just what you need for e-bikes that don't have a top bar of their own. Quickly connects to the bike, then the bike can be correctly stored on the bike rack.
This company is terrible and a ripoff (ETRAILER) buy this from AMAZON.
I live in NYC and like to get out and mountain bike about 3 to 4 times a week. I was skeptical about tire racks being a suitable option for hauling a dual suspension MTN bike with 27+ tires ,however Since my Jeep is parked in a parking garage a hitch rack would be a nuisance and roof racks are a hassle to install on a 2020 Jeep Wrangler, so I decided a tire rack was worth a shot. This rack completely exceeded my expectations. First the installation takes minutes. Even though it does not bolt on to the spare frame, It is by no means a flimsy rear wheel rack. It is a burly ultra secure big trail bike hauling mountain bike rack and doesn’t block the rear camera view when not in use. With the extension bar the bike fits securely and comfortably on the arms. The extra straps completely secure the frame so it doesn’t wobble on the road and evenly distributes the weight so there is hardly any pressure on the head tube and seat post. I highly recommend this rack for a hassle free strong and sturdy mountain bike rack that will protect your high performance trail bike with confidence.
Needed a platform style rack for heavy E-bike that is a step through model with fenders. This severely limited the choice of racks. Found one that said it would work and it did but because the center support grabbed the frame so low, it wobbled quite a bit and rubbed against the chain guard. This adapter bar solved the problem. Ordinarily the bike hangs from this type device so rubbing on the painted frame isn't an issue but in my use It is being pushed down by the center clamp and rode over the seat post onto the frame.. I solved this with a white spacer ring I made (see picture) so the adapter bar couldn't ride down and rub the frame.
It's a very solid nicely made piece of equipment. probably overkill for my use
Absolute necessity for the U-framed bike frames.
I received our bike frame adapters and am using them both for our Pedego ebikes. My only issue is there is no protection; rubber surface, to protect the bikes. I added foam door seal, which came off after the first trip, so I will attempt to attach more with Super Glue.

I usually recommend item # SR0500 because it is a good price and also has rubber coating.

Great product.
Keeps the woman's bike straight on the rack.
The locks are tight and hold the handlebars and the saddle in place.
Solidly build. Every time we go on a bike trip, I put it on my wife's bike.
Bicycle racks do not take women's bikes in account so this bar is the best alternative out there.
Great products. Well made and fully assembled. Good communication and products arrived very quickly. Appreciated all the information on the website. It gave me the confidence that it would fit my vehicle.
I mounted the bike rack on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with back up camera with no issue. There is a tight clearance between the spare tire, and 3rd brake light but I was able to install it with the tire cover in tact. Going forward will probably put small spacers on the back of the tire mount for an extra fraction of inch clearance.
Also, the adapter was needed to level out the women bike on the rack.
This bike rack adapter is great. Very heavily well-built and will do exactly that for which it has made. I would have given it five stars except the way it has made the adapter bar slides in and out (so that it can be adjusted to fit to different lengths). There is no way to lock the bar length in place. And on both ends where the bar attaches to your bike, at the bar end there needs to be some sort of padding so not to scratch the bike while racked.
Fit great on our Magicycle Ocelots and our Hollywood rack.
Great price and fast shipping.
These bike bars serve there purpose as far as holding the bikes down on the bike rack, only thing is that sometimes they get stuck trying to get around the post, but overall would purchase again if needed
Works well. No issues with holding bike in place. Have used for 4500 miles with bikes on rack behind fifth wheel. Need to wrap cloth around ends so doesn't rub paint off of bicycle. One improvement I would like to see is to be able to lock in place once you have the length set for the bike

No changes from original review. Over 15,000 miles and no issues. Would like to see something for the ends so wouldnt have to wrap to protect paint on bike.
Very well put together. Easy to install. I installed this on two different models of step thru ebikes and worked great. We decided to use one as a permanent part to a step-thru Blix Aveney ebike as it now doesn’t look like a woman’s bike for my guy to ride. These work well for support on our bike carrier.

Works great for being able to secure the bike to the bike rack.
