Well made, easy to use.

Perfect for our e-bikes. We'll have to remove the battery to stay within the weight limit, but we'll probably remove it anyway. Used this on my RV and my Corolla. Fits very snugly on 2" and 1 1/4" receivers. It's pretty easy for the two of us to load both bikes, but the design and features are simple enough that I could do it myself if I had to (and I'm an old man!). It might not be the cheapest option, but it's well made, well designed, and well worth it!

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Appearance

Good quality luggage rack NOT FOR CARS

As we have a class 3 towbar on our new 5th bike we took the chance and went for this towbar mounted bike rack. After preparing and checking all the documents, I decided to send it back. The company that sells them told us it would work fine on a fifth wheel. While this can continue, especially on lighter bikes, use on a caravan or fifth wheel will void the warranty so we decided not to risk it. Swagman makes RV-legal luggage racks for the same price, so we went that route. It was great working…

Good bike rack for bike rack

Looks like a great bike rack, I found it easy to fit and the instructions were pretty straightforward. I would suggest fixing it to a table/bench to make it easier for one person to assemble it. They recommend putting on the big bike first and then the smaller one. I replaced the locking hooks to work better on a bike with a lower center tube, I just have to loosen the bolts on the brackets to change them (see photo). It comes with a lockable threaded bolt and cable for attaching to the hitch…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Frequency

Looks like a solid shelf

I received the rack a few days ago so my experience is limited. It was well packed, easy to assemble with hand tools, the materials are strong and the stand is solid. Easily supports my e-bike. It just works. And bikes are easy to load if you can lift them up about 18 inches on tire pallets. When folded, it protrudes just 12 inches from the vehicle. I use extra locks for security when leaving my bike on a stand outside the home. I needed a rack that I could easily use with both 11/4" and 2"…

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Bought to carry my new bike with Mongoose Fat tires on my Jeep. I rode it less than 100 miles until one of the cheap plastic ties supposed to hold the tires in place broke and my new bike jumped out, falling behind my Jeep and being dragged along until I could stop. * The rear strap held the rear tire in place, the lock cable prevented the bike from falling off completely. Ruined the rim and blew 2 1/2 holes in the side of the tire. handle the tools. Since the trunk was installed in my jeep I…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Don't really like it, everything is fine

Great fat tire or bike rack with full fenders.

I was looking for a bike rack with a platform to carry our fat tire bikes as well as my commuter bike with fenders, so I needed a rack that would clamp the top tube. I also wanted a trunk that folds towards the car when not in use for convenient garage parking and a trunk that tilts down when the bikes are loaded for access to the tailgate of mine to get Subaru. I also needed a rack that would fit both my car's 1 1/4" receiver and my van's 2" receiver, and the Current had all of those features.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • something different
