Notes:
The RV Rider platform-style hitch bike rack makes it simple to carry 2 electric bikes on the rear of your motorhome, fifth wheel, or flat-towed vehicle. This rack is easy to use, and it features padded clamps and adjustable wheel hoops, so you can quickly load and unload your bikes. A locking hitch pin with an anti-rattle system tightens the rack's shank to your hitch receiver to prevent it from rattling around inside the tube.
Locking, Padded Clamps
Constructed of rugged plastic, the RV Rider uses padded clamps with hand knobs to secure your bikes by the frame or seat post. The clamps are easily adjusted along the vertical tubing and lock securely in place. Each clamp functions independently, which means you can position them to carry bikes of different heights.
If you are transporting a carbon fiber bike, do not use the clamp on the frame. Instead, attach the clamp to the seat post to prevent damaging the frame.
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 ratchet straps fasten the wheels to the hoops. These universal wheel hoops will fit standard and fat tires up to 5" wide.
Folding, Tilting Design
The rack tilts up and down, without bikes loaded, for storage and access to your rear cargo area. To lower the rack, remove the pin, hand knob, and carriage bolt, then tilt the rack down.
To raise the rack, remove the hand knob and carriage bolt, then fold the rack up and reinsert the hardware. After, you can use the hook and loop strap (similar to Velcro) on the frame clamp and connect it to the wheel holder, which helps secure the mast in place.
Easy Installation with Locking Hitch Pin
The RV Rider 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. It also comes with a hitch tightener to help reduce vertical wobble by pressing the shank against the receiver. It attaches to the top or bottom of the flange on your receiver using a U-bolt and clamp bar.
Complete Security for Bikes and Rack
The RV Rider comes with locks for both the rack and your bikes to deter theft. The lock pod on the hitch pin, lock cores in the frame clamps, and the 8' long security cable lock are conveniently keyed alike.

Bring your electric bikes to the campsite so you can motor around the trails. Works with motorhomes, 5th wheel trailers, and flat-towed vehicles. Fits 2 standard or fat tire e-bikes. Anti-rattle hitch pin and hitch tightener reduce rack movement.I have had several name brand bike racks and the Hollywood Racks RV Rider is by far the best. The rack is very sturdy and lite weight. It was easy to assemble with very good instructions. The rack fits our fat tire e-bikes and my SUV perfectly. The rack is very easy to adjust and while it sits high as to not drag the bikes when exiting parking lots, loading our 60lb e-bikes is no problem at all with the appropriate nethod, one wheel at a time. It is also possible to lean the rack to access the rear hatch on my SUV. The main reason for purchasing the rack is it is certified to mount behind a motorhome or on an SUV while being flat towed. There is literally no movement or sway of the rack behind the SUV. Very happy with this rack.
Wayne G - 08/14/2023I purposely delayed submitting a review until we had a chance to really test it. We have just arrived in New England from GA and the bike rack has performed well. The interstates had many bumps along the way but our 2 bikes (1 ebike 50lbs/1 mountain bike 35lbs) remained secure on the back of our RV at 65 mph. I would rate 4.5 stars if possible, our issue was one of the locks was stubborn and I had to spray it with some lubricant.We also had one of the wheel strap cushions fall off and it took some time to find it since it is all black. I have orange duct tape on them now and spray painted the nuts & washers that are removed when using the rack. Very happy with our purchase.
JamesT - 08/07/2023I bought this rack early in the spring and finally installed it on our motorhome for our first trip with our new e-bikes last week. I am impressed with how solid the rack is and how it holds the bikes in place - they didn't move! No wiggling or swaying and after several hundred miles, the bikes still look brand new! I'm particularly grateful for all the security features and am comfortable that our new bikes won't be subject to theft.
I usually get lost in the instructions and end up breaking something when I install anything. Not this time! I took my time and followed the directions easily and apparently did everything right. It all went together perfectly.
Loading the bikes was easy (again following the instructions carefully).
I highly recommend this bike rack!

We love our Hollywood RV Rider Bike Rack. We have loaded it on our 87 Jeep Wrangler, our ‘06 Lexus, and our ‘83 Pilot. It is a perfect fit on all three! We needed the extra length to clear our rear mount tire on our Jeep. It worked! We have taken our 4”fat tire e-bikes on many roads from northern Idaho to southern Arizona. The bikes travel well and sturdy on this heavy weight rack. We feel very confident that they stay in place. We are able to load our bikes in a few minutes and hit the road in no time. It is very easy to load. We recommend using the bar grip extenders (which came in the package) to compact the storage area. This rack comes with a tip mechanism to allow you to tip the bikes down to access the rear trunk or hatchback.
Deborah a - 04/23/2023The Hollywood rack is sturdy and secures our ebikes well. I like the clamp and locking system for holding bikes upright. However the clamp arms are always getting in the way when loading/unloading and transferring the heavier inner bike to the back. It’s also difficult to secure the clamps from moving around when the bike rack is folded up. I wish these clamp arms could be folded and stowed better.
Bob - 08/11/2023I use this rack for my fifth wheel. It is very well built and secures my two e-bikes very well. At times lifting the bikes onto the rack can be difficult. Getting the inside bike on is somewhat difficult but can be done with a little work. I like this rack and it works very well on my fifth wheel. It is built very well and I am not worried about it breaking down while traveling. Sorry no pics.
Jim M - 08/13/2023Very solid bike rack. We have 2 heavy e-bikes on behind our motorhome. We drove from Ontario / Michigan border, to the west coast and back. no issues. Very happy with my purchase.
As stated in the description this bike rack is heavy duty. We have used it to carry our E-bike on the back of our Minivan & Rv so fare. It take two of us to mount it on a vehicle and it also takes two on us to load the E-bikes on the rake (E-bike are heavy). For a RV approved E-bike carrying rake you can’t go wrong.
I purchased this rack to transport 2 e-bikes behind my 32ft class-C motorhome. The bike rack was easy to assemble and very professionally engineered. The rack holds the bikes secured with locking devices. The bikes and rack have no play or movement when all secure points are tightened. Rack and bikes do not block license plate or tail lights even when I put the cover on the Lectric 2.0 bikes. The photos show the rack attached to my Nissan Titan XD. This is an amazing bike rack.
Item arrived in excellent condition. Nice very sturdy bike rack. A little pricey, but it is very rugged. etrailer kept me updated as to shippng and delivery. Very satisfied.
After extensive research and excellent assistance from etrailer.com personnel, I purchased the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike rack to use with my fifth wheel RV and my 2 e-bikes. I received and installed the rack today and am very pleased with the rack. Assembly was pretty easy and all the machined parts fit together perfectly. The rack was well packaged to protect the finish of the components and all hardware and a set of tools was included for assembly. I have not yet transported the bikes on the RV, but it appears the rack is very sturdy and should perform well. The manual for the rack even includes excellent guides for how to secure the bikes on the rack and 3 adjustable straps are included to further anchor the bikes to the rack. The rack exceeds my initial expectations and can recommend it for fifth wheel use!
Robert - 03/07/2023We are very pleased with our Hollywood bike rack. It is very sturdy excellent quality. We use it on our 5th wheel, Nissan Rogue & can use it on Ford F-250. We are very pleased with it.
Great rack. Easy for our large fat tire Hey Bikes with baskets! Etrailer customer service was fantastic! Thank you!
As a child I never had an erector set so as an adult I’m making up for it with these “some assembly required” projects. I recently purchased an ebike and planned to transport it on the back of my Durango that I tow behind my motor home. I soon discovered not all bike racks are created equal and having a bike rack capable of handling the weight of an ebike is only one part of the challenge. Part 2 of the challenge is finding a rack designed to be hitched to a vehicle being towed behind a motor home because of the unique forces (stresses) present in this situation. Hollywood Rack’s RV Rider is specifically designed for my scenario. However, due to their popularity and the other supply chain issues in today’s culture, the RV Rider is frequently “sold out”. I placed an order through etrailer.com and after a couple of months I was notified the Hollywood Racks RV Riders were once again in stock and mine was being shipped. The packaging is heavy duty and the assembly instructions are easy to understand. Hollywood Racks has an instructional video. etrailer.com also has a review video on this product that explains the functionality. Fairly straightforward to assemble. I did not have any problems but I did watch both the Hollywood and etrailer.com videos while I was waiting for my shipment to arrive. It appears to be very well built. I can’t completely open my rear hatch unless I adjust my handle bars, but I can open the rear hatch quite a bit if I really need to access anything. Although leaning the rack back with two bikes on it would of course be easier with two people, I made the maneuver several times by myself. So two people are not required to lean it back. All in all, I’m please with this purchase and I expect this rack will perform very well for me. Time will tell, but I don’t see any weaknesses in its design or quality. Hint: applying a little car wax on the center support will help the clamps slide up and down easier.
Rack is sturdy with lots room for adjustments and built in locks…my only complaint or suggestion would be that Hollywood improve the adjustment bolt with handle which requires removal to lower the bar between the two bikes and you have to remove a lock washer and nut….should just be a locking pin or screw in receiver for the bolt for ease of removal and replacement after you load the first bike.
Sunny - 07/01/2023Assembly of the the Hollywood rack very easy, and it appears to provide a heavy duty support solution for two fat tire bikes. Missing one bolt and waiting on etrailer to send me a new bolt. One problem with mounting two fat tire bikes on this rack is that the car, truck, RV tail lights are not very visible; especially if you put a cover on the bikes. Hollywood does not have a light kit to install on this rack. etrailer recommended a light kit but I needed to design a method of mounting the lights. I used some 1-1/2 in 16 gauge square tube to mount the lights and attach to the rack. This light bar can be easily removed while mounting the bikes. I don't see why Hollywood doesn't design a solution for this problem.
Last year the bikes (and us) traveled over 4,000 miles. This year our journeys will take us even farther. The best part…… no worries that the bikes will arrive safely , such a comfort!
Lynda - 05/13/2023The most stable and secure bike rack imaginable. However, difficult to load and remove bike closest to back of an rv. Center support bar interferes with pedals of back bike when in tight proximity to back of camper. It can be accomplished but takes some meanuvering when taking the bike on and off.
After having the Hollywood Racks bike rack for a year, I am very pleased with how it has worked for us. We have it on our fifth wheel and have put around 8,000 miles carrying two e-bikes. We have always been happy with the numerous items we have purchased from etrailer.
This is an excellent bike carrier. Very well built and solid design. My two Trek Verve 4 e-bikes fit perfectly. Very stable with no movement on the back of my fifth wheel camper. Fairly easy to assemble. Takes a little time to assemble and adjust to fit the way you want it to fit your bikes. I highly recommend this bike carrier.
Love it for the heavy ebikes. But the bike carrier is also heavy. So taking it on and off is a project for a 72 year old
Tom - 08/11/2023The hitch was straight forward in the assembly. Functioned nicely with my two Model Rs from Electric Bike Company, total weight of two bikes is 120 lbs.
I have it on the back of my Jeep Wrangler for flat towing behind the RV.
Douglas - 07/25/2021We picked this bike rack because it was rated for ebikes, and supports them on a towed vehicle behind a motorhome. The assembly was easy and putting the bikes on the rack and securing them is easy as well. Great bike rack, highly recommended.
Daryl - 04/10/2021It took a while to assemble the bike rack. I was impressed to see that it came with a locking hitch pin, locks on the post clamps and a cable lock. It carried our e-bikes just like it said it would. Very happy with this bike carrier.
It’s a great option for our heavy Rad Rover 6 Plus fat tire bikes on the rear of our class A motorhome. Very good for bike to bike adjustments. The dual adjustable lock-down clamps work very well. They even work for our step-thru models by attaching to the seat posts. No extra bar needed. My only issue is with the center post vertical/horizontal screw knob, washer and carriage bolt set. They’re untethered and must be fully removed to swing down the center support arm. While this is a pain (poor design), you must remember to replace the bolt/knob set or you can loose them… Yes, from experience.
