Specs:
The Sport Rider platform-style hitch bike rack makes it simple to carry 2 bicycles on the rear of your vehicle. This versatile rack is easy to use, and it features locking frame hooks and adjustable wheel hoops so you can quickly load and unload your bikes. The included adapter sleeve enables the rack to fit both 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers. An anti-rattle system tightens the rack's shank to your hitch receiver to prevent it from rattling around inside the tube.
Locking, Ratcheting Hooks
The Sport Rider uses locking frame hooks to secure your bikes. These ratcheting, cushioned hooks easily adjust along the vertical mast and lock securely in place. The release buttons allow each hook to slide up the ratcheting arm for bike removal. The hooks function independently, which means you can position them to carry bikes of different heights.
Adjustable Wheel Hoops
The wheel hoops accommodate bicycles with wheelbases up to 60" by sliding along the horizontal arms. They secure in place with easy-to-use hand knobs, and the Velcro-like hook-and-loop straps fasten the wheels to the hoops.
If you want to carry a fat bike on the Sport Rider, you can replace the rack's wheel hoops with specifically-designed fat bike hoops (sold separately).
Folding, Tilting Design
The rack tilts, with or without bikes loaded, for easy access to your vehicle's rear cargo area. Simply remove the pin from the base and tilt the platform down.
The rack also folds up against the back of your vehicle when it's not in use. To raise the rack, just lower the mast flat against the tray and then lift the rack up toward the back of the vehicle.
Easy Installation with Locking Hitch Pin
The rack easily installs in the hitch with the locking hitch pin. Just slide the shank into your receiver, insert the hitch pin, and attach the lock pod. The locking pin works as an anti-wobble device to eliminate sway and rattle in the receiver.
A removable adapter sleeve is included so the rack can be converted for use with 1-1/4" hitch receivers. The sleeve attaches to the shank with a single screw and can be installed or removed quickly.
Complete Security for Bikes and Rack
The Sport Rider comes with locks for both the rack and your bikes to deter theft. The lock cores in the frame hooks hold the bike down on the rack and prevent them from moving. Also, the lock pod attaches to the hitch pin to secure the rack to your vehicle. These locks are conveniently keyed alike.
Add-On Adapters
If you want to use the rack to transport a kid's bike with 16" or 18" wheels, wheel hoop adapters (sold separately) are available.
If you want to transport one recumbent delta trike or one recumbent tadpole-style trike with the Sport Rider, you can use the HRTRK-ADP adapter (sold separately).

Have had the carrier for a year. Has been to Florida Keys from Ontario Canada and back. Worked very well. Would buy again. Etrailer was great to deal with. Arrived soon after we ordered. 339117
Rack came well packed and in perfect condition. The instructions are clear. Fits snuggly in 1.25" class one hitch with no wobble. The instruction say to have hooks secure frame at lowest point. I have two crank forward bikes with step through frames. The hooks won't go low enough to secure them at the desired point, so they touch where the frame is on an angle with a swim noodle for extra height and padding. Without the hooks attached and the upright bar lowered, my bikes are very easy to load. I really like that the rack and bikes can be locked and are keyed alike. 660069
The first time I used it, the foam of the top racheting bars has ripped and the short 5 mile trip caused the paint on the top bar to be scratched thru to the metal. Very disappointing. I may try to duct tape the foam back together. But to be safe, you should put some cloth or material where the top locking hook and the bike make contact. It's a hassle, and I'm annoyed by the damage to my bike, so I rate this as 3 star, since it did seem sturdy. 229857
Pros: Easy to install. Easy to load and unload bike. Although trunk does not open completely on a 2009 Mazda 6 while bikes are loaded on the rack, the tilt feature on the rack enables you to open the trunk completely while the bikes are loaded. Areas for improvement: The directions were not easy to follow. Could be made simpler with more pictures and less words. Other comments: While the rack is loaded there is quite a bit of bouncing around while driving. Not sure if this was intentional in order to provide flexibility or what. It does not feel unsafe but it is noticeable. If it is unsafe I feel confident etrailer will reach out to me. Happy with purchase. 273017
Decent rack and good value. Good service from eTrailer. I've had the rack for about a month and generally it has worked well for me. I was able to get it installed fairly easily and the range of positions and ability to use it with my bike that has fenders were pluses for me. Bikes have remained securely in place while driving. Critiques that led to my giving it a 4 was that I have found it a little fiddly when changing between the different positions, particularly when trying to tilt the rack away to open the rear hatch with two bikes mounted. Also, I would have liked some type of welded loop to attach the optional cable lock, which I also purchased. The hitch lock has worked well. 307682
We received the bike rack faster than we expected. I had good service with questions by telephone and placed my order online. The directions to put the bike rack together we're fairly easy. The bike rack does have some wobble in the hitch mount so my husband used a shim and now it doesn't wobble at all. Our hitch is a 2 inch hitch. It is very easy to load the two bikes. We use a couple of Velcro strip tie downs as additional security attaching the bike frame to the center stand post. We purchased the Locking hitch pin and the Locking cable HRLHPTC that go with the Hollywood Rack Sport Rider 2. It comes with four keys keyed-alike. We are very happy with our purchase. 305630
Easily assembled and installed behind my motorhome to carry my ebike. It is light weight but sturdy and just what I needed. Seems like it will do the job just fine. 608618
For the price I paid, I am very happy with the bike rack. After a year of frequent use, it works just as well as it did the first day. In retrospect, I wish I had paid a little extra for a model that does not require the removal of pins to tilt it up and down, but again, for the price I paid, I am very happy. 320533
Installed the HR1000 and the Drawtite hitch. Was very easy. The photos and videos on etrailer website were great, being able to refer to them for any questions during the assembly. The rack works great and we are able to open the hatchback on the rear of the prius without even having to tilt the rack and bikes back. VERY pleased. 160466
Excellent service with quick shipping. Highly recommended rack. Works great on my Sienna. 859517
put the bike rack together but haven't used it yet. nice design. been using the saris trunk mount rack I bought from you in 2017. new one looks a lot easier to use thank you 855772
The Hollywood bike rack works perfectly for short haul and long trips for my two bikes on our 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid. Easy assembly and setup. Dave from Siesta Key FL. 847677
Ordering was a breeze, shipping was both free and fast, arrived when it was supposed to, customer service was VERY responsive. The whole process went great. 844888
I would have given this bike rack a 5 star except for two issues. 1. the instructions to put it together are hard to understand but keep in mind I do not following them anyway but it was simple to put together 2. When it tips away from the vehicle with the bikes on the inside the pickup the end gate will hit the bike peddles, a fix for that is to extend the main tube from the receiver hitch accordingly. I did not try it on a SUV with the hatch. I think that would work fine. I also like the way it folds up when there is no bikes on it so it is out of the way (see picture) It is a well made bike rack and I would definitely recommend it 836833
Great bike rack! Good quality and easy to put bikes on. Another quality product from etrailer.com! 817927
My wife and I are in our 70's and we have e-bikes, so we need to be able to load them easily. This is the perfect solution for us. We don't have to lift the bikes very high, and the way they ride is perfect for preventing damage to the bikes. Kimberly at etrailer.com was very helpful and answered all of our questions. It was also delivered very quickly. 817397
A quality product! 807605
The best rack 806984
Fast shipping...meticulous packaging...solid well-built product 806483
Pros: Great rack for our two bikes! Fits nicely into the class 1 trailer hitch on my wife's Nissan Altima. Easy to use and holds bikes securely even on highway and gravel country roads. Locking bike arms and locking hitch bolt are a nice feature to deter theft. Would buy again! Cons: Locking bike arms work well overall but require just the right touch to make them go up when you want to take your bike off. Hitch bolt is longer than it needs to be, but not too difficult to use. 794870
Great bike rack, easily assembled, fits our two bike perfectly. Sturdy, easy to load and unload bikes, love the tilt feature. Happy to be able to lock the bikes and the hitch lock. Haven’t used it on a drive yet but I’m sure we will be pleased! 787158
Maybe I was spoiled from the Thule bike rack I owned. Not really thrilled about this model. The center bar is always in the was when putting the first bike closest to mt suv. You have two be careful when putting it on to avoid hitting the back of my suv. Other than that it seems to hold the bikes down tight and was very easy to put together. 726234
