Great eBike carrier

After more than half a year of waiting and two delivery delays, I gave up waiting for a Hollywood carrier. When I saw this on Revain I gave it a try as it was highly recommended for use in a 5 wheel motorhome. My order was processed quickly and arrived in four days. Fitment was fairly easy following the instructions but there are two very minor issues: firstly the reflectors on each side of the bottom tire bars face up when installed which does not reflect and the headlights for the other car (glued onto the poles on the wrong side? , no pannier will be placed on it). Second, velcro for four hoops, the velcro only works, after you wrap the strap around the hoop, you need to twist the velcro to make it stick to the fabric, again no big deal. One key locks all three locks: one lock to attach the trunk to the van and two locks to attach the bike to the trunk. The lock key can sometimes get stuck, but the adjustable up/down movements on the handlebar will solve any problem. Be careful when pressing the stop lever and moving locking hook and be careful not to slip your fingers/hands all the time as it may shake, so be careful. Some pointers for prospective buyers: 1) Buy a clutch tensioner, it will stop any up/down/side-to-side movement through clutch play, on the Revain, very inexpensive, will probably save you from hitting handlebars, paddles etc. 2) You may need one handlebar adapter. Our e-bikes are "stepped", i.e. men's bikes do not have an upper link. I repeat: Will not work on walk-through or women's bikes without handlebar adapters. 3) If you want to protect your investment in your eBike, a bike case for transport (non-stationary/stored) is highly recommended. I bought a Team Obsidian bag for three bikes, always one size larger than what you have, 2 bikes, 3 bike bags. I have attached photos of these items above, they can all be found on Revain. All handlebars on eBikes have a different configuration and on my bike I have to tie a small towel around the left handlebar to cover the side mirror and brake lever to prevent scratches. (previous bike did this) on an RV. Discover what best suits your needs. Hope this all helps. Bike season is almost over in northern Michigan, but get ready for 2022! I have made several rides with the above items and had no problems, the bikes are locked, secured and covered. By removing the cover, you can use it to cover your bikes that weren't on the rack without having to buy a separate cover. Update 10/12/21: For those interested in installing removable pins and attaching a small wire pigtail. , the photo above may help with your question.
