Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount

Assembly 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. 1281744

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. 1294883

We 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. 776300

Its a great heavy duty bike rack

The 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. 850592

Rack is strong and sturdy. After a year of frequent use, I highly recommend this rack!

This bike rack is exactly what I needed for my 2 E-Bikes that will be transported on a flat towed vehicle as well as behind our RV. Steve Z spent probably 15-20 minutes searching for a rack that was rated to handle both because not all racks will accommodate both. He was spot on and answered all of my many questions. Have yet to make my first trip but I have installed the rack and both bikes I the rack is solid and very strong. It does take some time to get it adjusted for the bikes the first time but once that is accomplished it is simple to load and secure the bikes. Thanks to Steve Z and etrailer for finding a product that meets my expectation 100%. 1297892

We waited nearly 5 months for this RV Rider rack. We had been using an inexpensive 200 lb rated ebike rack from [superstore] for about a year. However that [superstore] rack was not RV rated as most are not. The inexpensive rack got us through until this Hollywood rack arrived. Man what a difference! This new rack is BEEFY! It is obviously more substantial and I have no fear hanging our expensive ebikes on the back of our 5th wheel camper. We haven't used it on the 5th wheel yet but did on our Tahoe and the bikes were much more stable than with the [superstore] rack. From the integrated wheel straps, locking knobs and locking hitch pin this rack will make the whole bike hauling experience faster and more secure. My wife and I researched the heck out of a suitable rack for our camper and this one was worth waiting for. 1076875

Great product - strong and rides securely on back of our Class A RV. Only complaint is that rubber gripper teeth tore on 1st trip out (did not seem seem to compromise security of e-bikes). I contacted Hollywood Racks and they said that I would need to replace entire grip arms to fix issue.) 1291551

Works well, assembly was not to bad, instructions are in English and actually make sense. The rack is easily adjustable, holds the bikes securely, folds up nicely. I use it with 2 E-bikes and once balanced properly, the bikes rarely move. Build is high quality, welds look good, paint seems great, bolts seem rated, not the normal Chinese cheap bolts. Only issues for me are the tilt function is hard to use as you have to remove the bolt and knob. You end up dropping the knob every time you unscrew it. Trying to lift the bikes up to remove the weight from the rack as you remove or insert the bolt at the same time is a strenuous job. Also trying to load the first bike is a pain with the upright bar in place and takes 2 people due to the weight of the E-bikes. Lowering the upright bar helps, but then again you have to unscrew the knob and drop it, then remove the bolt. It seems lock pins would have been better here as they are easier, faster and more convenient. Overall well worth it. The whole setup feels very secure and I do not worry about having 4K+ worth of bikes sitting on this rack going down the highway. 1275067

The ordering via phone was flawless, very professional and helpful on all questions. I was extremely happy when the shipping arrived as scheduled. The bike rack was exactly what we needed for our lectric bikes. It’s extremely well built, easy to load the bikes and they lock in to place with no movement. We’re very happy with the purchase and will definitely recommend to anyone that may be considering a bike rack. 1300430

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! 1269309

I really like this rack. Very sturdy for our ebikes. My only comment would be I wish the instructions were a little easier. I would definitely recommend. 855206

Great product!

Package arrived in excellent condition. The Hollywood rack went together easily and is very sturdy. Handles our two 50lb ebikes with ease. The rack is not easily moved from one vehicle to another so we leave it on our 5th wheel and use another rack on our tryck for when we tracel short distances. Excellent value. 1274822

We bought the rv bike rack. It is sturdy. There is some assembly required but it is not difficult. Our e-bikes are approximately 65 pounds and this rack seems up to the task of hauling them safely. I like that there are 3 separate locks to keep the bikes and the rack secured. We have taken 3 short trips now and there doesn't seem to be a lot of wobbling of the rack. etrailer was prompt in shipping and I appreciate their emails keeping me updated on the progress. 1271511

This bike rack is the perfect rack for a RV 5th Wheel and e-bikes. While it took a little longer than normal to receive it, due to the supply chain issues, we were informed about the status all along. We are very impressed with the quality of this bike rack and the service we received at etrailer. 1268853

Well built, comes with locking knobs and a lock for the hitch pin plus they give you a cable lock all using the same key. Nice touch. Bikes seem to be very secure on the back. Probably best bike rack I've owned. Also the most expensive LOL 1268370

Product is well built, some work to assemble but except for 1 item instructions were detailed and easy to follow. Product is heavy duty and well made. Loaded two electric bike on it, 65 lbs each, 1st time took a little effort but after unloading to adjust tire holders and clamps reloading was much easier. Following the instructions in assembly manual helped. Bikes were well secured and should ride safely, but will recheck after a few miles down the road. 1273454

It's amazing I think it might b the best built, strongest, and sturdiest rack ever made, with no wobble. Truly solid. I plan on using it on my truck and my RV. I'm glad it included the arm extenders as I need them. I also purchased the Small Wheel Hoop Adapter for Hollywood Racks Universal Wheel Holders for our 20" wheels. Worked perfectly. The instructions were very nice as well and easy to read and understand. 1267656

It is a sold bike rack for ebikes on a 5th wheel. I received the Hollywood RV rider bike rack a few days ago. The instruction was good and the video was helpful. 1268533

This is a solid sturdy bike rack. It was worth the wait! I mount this on the back of my 5th wheel RV, and absolutely no movement noted. I have 2 70 lbs ebikes and works great! 1269585

Great, durable product. Wish it could be built here in the US to give Americans work and to avoid recent supply chain delays. Ordered in August and just received it (early March). It also desperately needs a little ramp system to make it easier to get bikes on the rack. 1271403

As always etrailer is great to deal with. We waited 3 months for the rack to return to inventory. Rodney was great to deal and kept me updated along the way. It was worth the wait. This rack is solid and heavy duty for carrying our ebikes. Just what we were looking for. In the picture the bikes are loaded up and the car is about to be hooked up to the motor home. 1268313

It took a while to get delivered no issues with the company just the delivery company! However once we got it and laid it all out then followed the instructions to put it together it was straight forward. it’s a great bike rack for our new electric bikes we have it on our towed vehicle behind our motorhome. Its a perfect fit for our lifestyle 1274631

Over priced rack. Wheel straps hard to use. Main beam knob the wrong size. Rack needs the use of tools for adding removing bikes. 1104540

Excellent product, and perfect for our requirements. We needed to carry two ebikes (RadRover fat tire bikes, @ 60 lb each w/o the battery) on a Class A motorhome. This rack seemed to be designed for that. It is strong, study, and simple enough to assemble. The latest design (late 2020) has updated wheel cradles, so you can carry a variety of tire widths up to 5" - big plus in convenience and cost over the prior edition. Due to supply chain constraints, we had to wait for the backorder, but it was well worth the wait. Yes, it was a bit pricey compared to most racks, but when you consider the extreme heavy duty construction, well thought design, and compare the price to the the only other heavy capacity RV compliant options, this is a fair price. Shout out to Nicole T in etrailer customer service who helped me get my backorder on track, and made sure the product arrived on time for my immediate need. Thanks Nicole! We've since travelled with the hitch mounted for about 1,500 miles, and can report it remains solid as the day it was installed. Lessons learned: I needed to set it up 2-3 times to really figure out the best arrangement; the bikes are big and might obstruct the tail lamps - so some minor adjustments were needed to resolve that; the included security cable is good, but a thicker cable or chain would offer more confidence. (I do like the keyed clamps that add another layer of theft deterrence.) Be sure to remove the batteries before mounting the bikes - the batteries will be safer inside the cabin or storage, and the weight savings is significant. 918940

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! 1296689
