Specs:
The Sport Rider SE platform-style hitch bike rack makes it simple to carry 2 electric bikes on the rear of your vehicle. It features locking frame hooks and heavy-duty wheel holders with welded gussets to reinforce the rack so it can handle the extra weight. 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 SE 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 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, 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 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.

Excellent and exactly what I was looking for. Great service and fast shipping from Etrailer. Will definitely order from again. 932685
We waited the expected 2 months for delivery and were very happy with the rack we received. The careful packing insured that nothing was scratched and all components were in the box. I was able to assemble it in 30 minutes. moreover, it is the sturdiest rack I have seen and is made with high quality materials. I will recommend this rack. 932393
Well we had a long journey before I received this bike rack due to demand and COVID no doubt, but it was worth it. I just received it yesterday and assembled with the great instructions. The product quality and features have so far exceeded by expectations. If you have heavy E-Bikes (up to 80 lbs each) this is the only way to go. Also, I recommend buying the storage cart.....makes it real easy to move around 931662
Got rack, Took two hours to put together. Found out that two electric bikes (Blix Aveny) don't fit with front baskets installed. Must remove baskets to get them to fit. Pain in the neck to get them off. Like rack though wiggles on black of Suzuki Samurai. Probably won't wiggle on back of truck or RV. 931654
The Hollywood ebike fat tire bike rack was delivered before the estimated due date! It works great! With multiple locks to prevent thief. 931400
I love this company. My bike rack was on back order. Only rack recommended for our heavy M2S Ebikes. Etrailer.com was upfront with me that I would have to wait a month. No other vendor had them in stock either, including Hollywood BR. They communicated with me, and as soon as my bike rack was ready to ship, I was notified and they sent it without a hitch (pun intended). The rack itself took me about 45 minutes to an hour to put together. I wish it was a little more set up out of the box. Instructions easy to follow, and wasn't a big deal. I recommend you have someone help you lift it on and off. It's pretty heavy and awkward to carry. My wife and I took it off and stored it no prob. We plan to try it this week, looks sturdy and well made. 930974
Very solid rack and easy to put togethe r. 928472
Haven’t opened the box yet but I am familiar with the bike rack. The box is in great shape and delivered a day early. 928319
It was very difficult finding a bike carrier that handled the weight and the odd wheelbase of our ebikes. This works perfect. 928274
Works great! Easy to assemble. 928138
Service and communication excellent. As for the product I'm going to have to wait until the spring to really make a fair evaluation. 928019
I have one rack already bought this one for the kids they work great. The best part though is Courtney made sure we got it before Christmas. Thank you 927899
A heavy duty hitch rack hat is built for e bikes. I received the Hollywood hitch from etrailer in several days. Very quick delivery especially during the week of Christmas. Even though I will not be using it until spring, (winter in Wisconsin) I am pleased with the heft, the strength and the ease of putting this rack together. I would buy from etrailer again. I also received a 5% discount via a coupon which sweetened the deal. 927674
It was easy to put together and holds the bikes so well 900383
A great bike rack!!! It's heavy and well made. I needed a bike rack that can securely hold two heavy 20-inch fat tire ebikes. I need a peace of mind when driving down the road that the bike rack won't break off and cause an accident, or worst, hurt somebody. It also had to be rated for mounting on an RV. Some bike racks are prohibited for use on a RV. I found several bike racks with a maximum carrying capacity of 60 lbs. per bike. This Hollywood hitch-mounted bike rack can hold two ebikes up to 80 pounds each. Also, it's important to eliminate any excess movement of the bike rack when mounted. This bike rack has a built-in hitch tightening system that stops rattle and excess movement. No need to purchase a separate hitch tightener. Thank you Hollywood!!! 898867
After researching for a rack to hold our 2 fat tire ebikes on the back of our class C motor home we were recommended this rack and we can honestly say we are very pleased with the quality of how it’s made And how extremely helpful Etrailer helped us with this purchase and answering any questions we had. We are looking forward to getting out there on some trips with our ebikes. This rack has made it possible to transport our bikes on our RV. 895776
FIrst, kudos to etrailer.com for quick and easy ordering/shipping; no problems at all. As far as the bike rack, I purchased if specifically for a heavy ebike. It works as advertised but I'm underwhelmed by the installation and use instructions. Assembling it was very straightforward until the end where you must install and adjust the wheel holders. They don't exactly adjust easily particularly when there is any weight on them, and the instructions let you figure out on your own where to place them, which can be critical because if they're in the wrong place the vertical center mast will be trapped by the bike and you won't be able to raise it. I wish there would have been some examples either in picture or by video for this exact problem, because with a 50 lb. bike it's challenging to make changes while the bike is on the rack. Once I got a reasonable setting for the wheel holders the rack worked fine. 893400

Does everything I wanted in a new bike rack: folds, tilts, holds bikes upright and converts from 4 to 2 bikes. Also has locks incorporated into frame with additional locking heavy duty cable. 614994
Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
I have yet to use this rack, but I did want to offer some preliminary thoughts. First, etrailer shipped it quickly. The packaging was good with no damage to the rack despite some holes in the boxes. Etrailer also honored their price guarantee. The instructions (see link below or use http://www.etrailer.com/instructions.aspx?pn=HR1400 ) are not very good. The diagrams could have shown a better “exploded” view and detailed the parts better. The parts themselves are NOT labeled (well some have “L” or “S”, but you can see there are no parts S or L). Step 1.(3.) has you insert pin H6 and install clip R (a cotter pin) through the pin. Nope! Pins H6 and H5 are attached receiver tube H and neither uses a cotter pin - they both have attached clips. The cotter pin "R" is only used in Step 4. There stop screws (Figure 2c) but the instructions don’t tell you to use the included washers, washers also not detailed in the parts list. The multiple “L” pins have index guides that need to be aligned with the index holes on order to remove and insert them. So if you can’t get that “L” pin out, it needs to be rotated. There are other examples, but you get the idea. I ended up with and extra washer (a heavy washer) and a ring but I think everything is put together correctly. BE CAREFUL! If you get careless placing a bike between the vertical post and the car, and the bike slips, the bike’s handlebars could break the back glass on an SUV type vehicle. I learned this from experience, but fortunately I didn’t break the glass. The instruction say to position the bike’s frame so the hook rests on the lowest point of the top tube. This makes sense but forced me to rearrange the wheel holders because our bikes are so different and I wanted each bike set up in a certain slot. Other than that, everything feels solid and I look forward to using this for years to come. 297586

Very sturdy bike rack. Just takes sometime to get every bike set-up on the rack. Could be a little more user friendly. But for the price it will be a great rack for our family of 4. 565169
Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
I debated between the HR1400 and Pro Series Q Slot and do not regret the HR1400. First, the package arrived one day early, but the shipping box was badly damaged. However, everything inside was packaged for the most part separately and nothing was damaged. So immediately put the rack together on my 1998 Dodge Pickup. The rack assembly was very quick and easy. I read a lot of reviews indicating the instructions are poor. They are not the best but honestly the rack was very easy to put together. Be sure to build the rack off of your hitch. Once built I was impressed!! Very sturdy and not a bad looking rack. I threw four mountain bikes right away onto the rack and they fit great. It did take me about 25 minutes to get the bikes on as you will find that you'll need to figure the best order for them to go on considering frame size etc.. I think if I were to do it again I would be able to do it in half the time. I took the bikes off the rack in about 5 minutes or less. I have not yet taking the bikes out as I just recieved the bike rack yesterday afternoon but was excited to build the rack and load the rack. But I can tell you that I see no problem with how it will travel down the road as this thing is solid! I did grab the rack while loaded with bikes and shook the hell out of it to see of the bikes would move. There was no wiggle or indication the rack or bikes were not secure. I choose the HR1400 because I need a rack that will fold up and also tilt. I also felt that the reviews were best on multiple websites not just etrailer. I also noticed that etrailer had by far the best customer service reviews which was important in case I had problems with the rack. You can not go wrong with the HR1400! You can not go wrong purchasing any equipement from etrailer.com as they did replied to a email very quickly amd sent out early. Believe me...this is an excellent bike rack. Safe riding! 499176
Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
The quality of the trailer hitch and assembly is excellent. Very happy with the quality and the purchase price. Given I was installing on a 2004 Honda Odyssey in 2015, I did have difficulty with the pre-drilled holes and threads on the frame of the vehicle. I made several attempted to clean the threads but was unsuccessful. I eventually took the hitch assembly to a local installer and they put it on for $[...]. The instructions provided for self installation were very clear and straight forward. I use my hitch assembly to haul bikes around to various triathlons. I purchased the bike carrier separately and it slides right into the hitch opening and locks on. 246026
Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
I've only just received my HR1400 Hollywood rack, assembled it, installed in on my car, and loaded it with 4 of our bikes, but I'm very impressed so far. It's exactly what I was hoping for. It is heavy, but it's extremely sturdy. I found it very easy to mount on my car and remove when I do so taking advantage of the fact it breaks into 2 pieces (which it does very easily). I'm looking forward to using it on our next outing. By the way, etrailer.com rocks! You had the best price on this rack and it was sitting on my doorstep 2 days after ordering (ordered Wed afternoon and delivered Friday). In addition, I had no issues with the packaging or the contents being damaged as a few others have mentioned in reviews. 122412
Review from a similar Sport Rider SE in Hitch Bike Racks
Great bike rack, significantly cheaper than other tray-style mounts. This rack does carry a kids 16" bike (must buy the adapter from e-trailer), which is one of the reasons why we went with the Hollywood Rack. For the adult bike, we used a foam noodle on the top post to prevent damage to the gear cables. There was some paint damage to the rack that I am assuming occurred during shipping that I'll need to touch up with a can of spray-paint, but other than that, I am pleased with the rack! 616089
