Specs:
The Sport Rider SE2 platform-style hitch bike rack makes it simple to carry 2 bikes 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. 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 SE2 uses locking frame hooks to secure your bikes. The 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 are secured 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 SE2, you can replace the rack's wheel hoops with 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 pivot pin, pull the bottom quick-release spring pin, and lower the rack.
The rack also folds up against the back of your vehicle when it's not in use. To raise the rack, just pull the upper quick-release spring pin and lift.
Tool-Free Installation with Anti-Rattle System
The rack installs in your hitch without the need for tools. Simply slide the shank into your receiver until the welded stop plate contacts the hitch. The stop plate saves you from getting on your hands and knees to align the pin holes while inserting the hitch pin. Once the pin is in place, attach the lock pod. Lastly, use the integrated anti-wobble handle on the front of the shank to tighten the rack inside your hitch receiver and prevent it from rattling.
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. For extra protection, the 8' long security cable wraps through the bike frames, connects to the hitch pin, and is secured to the pin by the hitch lock.
Add-On Adapters
The Sport Rider SE2 is expandable and adaptable. If you want to carry 4 bikes, a two-bike add-on accessory (sold separately) is available.
If you want to carry both 2 bikes and extra gear, an add-on cargo basket (sold separately) is available.
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.

Excellent product!
Excellent construction; very heavy duty. Be sure to order fat tire hoops when you order your rack.
This rack is perfect. I have a RadRunner and a Rad Wagon, and it fits them fine. The RadRunner has fat tires, it took a bit of adjusting to tet it right but overall it works great. Installation was easy for someone who never used a hitch before.
This rack has easily handled my two 80 lb (each) electric bikes. I've seen other models, but this is the best, Solidly built, adjustments to eliminate all wiggles and sway. I would highly recommend the Hollywood Rack to any ebike owner!
I love it, although it does take two people to put an e-bike onto the back rack. The pictures showed that the rack folded down further than it actually does and I'm short so it would have been more convenient if the rack went closer to the ground. But, I also have a big suv and the hitch is pretty high to the ground. Also, I really like the carrier that attaches to the back of the bike rack. We are able to get a small cooler and our camping sleeping cots on it which the cots often don't fit into the suv with all our other camping stuff. Great product.
i love these racks. A few months after installing them I was rear ended with rack and bikes in tow. Truck survived, bikes survived, but the racks took the heavy blow and were bent severely. The car that hit me had no insurance to cover the damage. These Hollywood racks have now cost me twice more than I wanted to spend on a set of racks, but I liked them so much that I made the purchase again. Surprisingly, the new set came with the fat tire kit as a standard, not an extra purchase, thank you.
One of the few retailers I could find that had a rack to support my 2 e-bikes. I have a Rad City and a Rad Cargo bike. Due to the weight of both my options were limited and this Hollywood rack nailed it. Easy to assemble, nothing but good things to say.
OMG!! We ordered our bike rack on Sunday, had it on Thursday, very fast service. The etrailer representives are very cordial and helpful. The bike rack was easy to assemble, and wonderful to use! We have two ebikes and they love it! Also easy to load. Thank You,etrailer
This is a great product. As advertised and the shipping and service is unbelievable. Fast and with email support to let me know the status of my order. I WILL DO BUISNESS with this company again.
ETRAILER ROCKS
Easy to use and mount on my Outback and feels very solid. The hold-down bars slide easily, Velcro straps simple to engage and I love the fact that it folds up. I can put the garage door down while the rack is attached to the car. It is rather heavy, but manageable. I also love the screw device at the bottom that tightens the tongue in the car hitch.
Even though the rack is an import, I was well pleased with the ease of assembly and the quality of the racks manufacturing. I would recommend that you purchase one if you are in need of a 2-bike rack assembly. I also purchased the 3-wheeled trike rack and assembled it. I'm totally satisfied with both my purchases at this time

Still working and operating the way it was designed, no complaints
Delivery was VERY prompt! Installation instructions were very easy to follow and didn't take long at all. Installed on a 2016 Chevy Traverse LT with a Reese Hitch 51083 (same as Draw-Tite sold here), the bike rack works as described and expected. With my particular bike, there is a MINOR clearance issue with my back hatch while the bike is being carried on the inside carrier but not too much to cause a concern for me.
This bike rack is second to none especially in this price range. I MHO I think this item is superior to many other brands out there and I’m referring to the well known brands as well. I was impressed with the way it was packaged from the factory and by etrailer. The instructions were clear and it assembled easily. I took my time and probably completed it in under an hour. I didn’t think to take pics with the bikes on the rack but I wanted people with Jeep Wranglers to see how this looks. Notice that I also have a Yakima Back Swing on the Jeep as well. I’ve purchased things from etrailer in the past and can speak of the quality of the products they sell and of course the customer service.

No complaints.
I love this bike rack! It came quickly and it was super easy to put together. I am a 66 year old female, and if I can do it, anyone can do it! It has everything that was advertised. It has the built in locks, which is awesome, and all the moving parts are easy to use. My bike does not move going down the road and that is a big plus for me! I did rap a bungee cord around my bike frame and the frame hook bar for my piece of mind, but it is not necessary. I highly recommend this bike rack.
I use this on a 2016 CRV. It folds back enough to open the tailgate. It is well made and sturdy. It should last a long time. It holds my 29er Mtn bike very securely. This rack comes with a hitch pin lock and a cable lock for the bike. Both locks heavy duty.

Loving my hitch! It allowed me to have multiple options available to carry stuff. My Hollywood bike rack is great. When tilted back, I can open the hatch. EZ on and off with bikes, EZ rack on and off. I have added a cargo tray and a hitch ball to my accessory inventory. I purchased all from Etrailer. You guys have everything and the website is very good. The descriptions, pictures,videos pretty much answer all questions about the product. I now have a utility trailer. My Honda CRV can now haul stuff like a truck... I purchased the hitch basically to carry a bike rack but it has turned into something much more versatile! Thanks!
Product was just as the etrailer rep presented when he recommended it. Arrived quickly, easy to assemble and load. We drove 1700 miles through 4 states (Ohio, W. Virginia, Virginia & N. Carolina) so we saw our fill of construction and rough roads. This includes interstate & local back roads in each state. The bikes are 2 cruisers old style. They never shifted or loosened. I did have to add foam on the ladies bike as the chain guard protruded enough to contact the brace. This is a bike design issue. The only scrape was the handle to tighten the hitch pin, try not to leave it hanging down. The large handle bars did limit access to the rear window, but the tilt function solved that. Pins got tight in the heat & ocean salt, light oil solved that. Very good product, service and guidance. I'll use this vendor again for other such need.
Taking everything into consideration: initial setup, ease of use and price, this is the perfect rack for us. Between the locks, straps and bungee cords (the latter only for driving on the interstate) the bikes are very secure. Definitely a 5 Star product!
Great Product from etrailer.com I am quite pleased with the quality of the product. It is was easy to assemble and install. We use it to carry 2 upper scale bikes and did not want to carry them in the bed of my pickup because we did not want to damage the bikes or truck bed. I have no problem loading the bikes by myself. Another plus is the locking hitch and also locking cable for bikes. So easy, safe, and secure makes this product is a great choice.
First I want to thank the folks at etrailer for getting my changed order implemented quickly. I changed from the HR1455Z-E (80 lbs per bike) to the HR1450Z (50 lbs per bike). It also arrived early which helped.
The Hollywood rack is really heavy-duty and went together easily with the very good included instructions. It carries my Ebike and analog bike together very easily.
My big complaint is the length of the rack from my 2019 RAV4 causes it to scrape heavily on my driveway and other driveways, even without the bikes loaded. I’m still pondering what to do about it. I’m using it with the Curt hitch I also bought from etrailer.
Love the hitch and bike rack. Adjustable everything and extremely stable. No vibration and very little movement of bikes. Easy to install and remove. Rack is heavy for an average person to lift when removing but that's because its made of good quality steel. No rust, dinks, or scratches in over a year and I use it almost everyday (winter, spring, summer, and fall - weather permitting)! Yesterday I transported two bikes 140 miles (highways and byways) to a 16 miles trail - no problem. Excellent customer service - knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. Five stars all around.
The Hollywood Sport Rider SE2 is exactly as described. The videos make it very easy to install. The only thing that is a struggle is releasing the hooks if they are pushed down snuggly, which is how they seem to be most effective. It is clearly indicated on the directions that they will be difficult to release if they are locked snuggly. Otherwise, thrilled with them.
Was a little concerned when I tried to pick up the shipping box and felt the substantial weight, but realized that to have a sturdy and stable rack, the materials have to be heavy. The assembly and adjustment process was easy and our bikes fit perfectly. The fold back feature allowed the hatchback to open fully with bikes attached. Took our Lexus RX out for a test drive over some bumpy roads and speed bumps and everything was rock steady. Excellent product! Very happy! Highly recommended!

No regrets whatsoever with this bike rack on my Outback. Still very secure, easy to use, and you can even open the rear hatch with the rack on the car.
