I ordered this for my step through e-bike. The quality of this product is excellent! I especially love the fact that the ends are not metal like some others I looked at. This one won’t scratch my bike. E-trailer shipped it quickly and I had it within days of placing my order.



by:

Nice product, sturdy, easy to use! Great service, came quickly

Still working great after a year. It is well made and sturdy, and does the job!



by:

Although we haven't used these on a long trip, I can say they work great to stabilize our kid's bikes when we went on a short trip in our community. We had no idea we were supposed to use these adapters to keep the bike safe (from falling off) and also from damaging the bikes while being transported, we now realize how much better the bikes fit and are much more secure. Because of COVID, the Thule adapters were out of stock but this brand is pretty much the same, does the same job and was less expensive.



by:

Purchasing thru etrailer was a great experience. My order was processed promptly, my package arrived as expected, and the shipping vendor used (UPS) delivered on time and when they said it would be delivered! The product purchased is of high quality and works as expected. I’d definitely do business with etrailer again. I highly recommend etrailer.



by:

The frame adapter bar was just what we needed. It goes on and off with such ease.



by:

This rack is rock solid and easy to install and uninstall



by:

Our adapter bar for our bike rake was exactly what we needed. Alex from etrailer kept in contact with us thru the whole process to let us know when it was shipped and to make sure we received it. I would recommend etrailer for ordering any bike accessories you may need. Thanks Alex for a job well done.



by:

Great experience dealing with your company. The adapter bar is working out perfectly. Now I can put the ladies bike and Childs bike on the rack. Thanks.



by:

The bar fits my "low entry" bike well. It's strong and supports the bike nicely on the bike rack.



by:

Perfect for supporting our bikes on our bike rack.



by:

This product is a God send.Too bad that th bike rack I purchased didn't mention the fact that I way need to purchase a bike frame attachment. If they did it would have beeen better thank god this product is available and that etrailer had it available.



by:

I have been VERY happy with the customer service from etrailer, specifically Noah!! As far as the product, it is easy to use and solves the problem of securing my step through bicycle. I have just used it once but so far so good.



by:

Bike frame adapter works great. Easy to attach to bikes and works with my bike rack great.



by:

If you have a step through bike, this is a must. Well built and easy to use



by:

Perfect fit to add to bike rack!



by:

Great tool to "even out" those bike lines when carrying on the back of a vehicle.



by:

Great addition to my vehicle and helps Me transport my bikes safely.



by:

Perfect for a step through bike frame.



by:

I thought this was something terrific that I couldn’t findI put this on in five seconds and took it off in five seconds this appears to be just what I was looking for



by:

There's no way that I could mout all four bikes without these. They work beautifully.



by:

Works well



by:

Definitely helps on a female bike. No issues. Works great.



by:

I've not had a chance to try this out yet. I'm giving 4 stars for the speed in shipping though!



by:

Great product. Just use an extra strap between your frame (under the seat) and the carrier bar for added safety. Just think... if the seat came off, your bike would be on the ground without it!



by:

Work as expected. A little cheaper than the Yakima brand.

  • Which Trailer Hitch Receiver And Bike Rack Will Clear The Rear Bumper On A 2011 Chevrolet Camaro?
    The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24850 measures about 9" from the hitch pin hole to the rear of the bumper. The Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # S64670 measures about 8" from the hitch pin hole to the nearest wheel hoop as you can see in the photo I attached. The means that the bike rack will likely interfere with the rear bumper and the only way around that is to use a hitch adapter such as CR Brophy Hitch Extender for 1-1/4" Hitch Receivers - 5-3/4" Long # hes6.

  • Options For Carrying 2 Carbon Fiber Bikes On A 2013 Ford Edge Sport
    The Yakima Full Back 2 Bike Strap Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634 is confirmed to fit your 2013 Ford Edge Sport. This is designed to be compatible with most spoilers, however, it will indeed put some added stress on the spoiler. It works with most frame designs, but to make sure it will work well with your large frame carbon fiber bikes I would use Adapter Bar # SR0500 along with the Yakima Full Back 2 Bike Rack. This adapter will attach to the bike's seat post and handlebar...

  • What Electric Bike Rack Do You Recommend that Installs to the Frame of My Motorhome?
    I have a solution for you. We do not carry any bike racks that secure to a vehicle's frame. For your heavy electric bikes, a motorhome-approved hitch-mounted carrier is the right way to go. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR. The Sport Rider SE has the highest maximum per-bike weight capacity of any rack we currently carry (80 pounds). As far as construction, the Sport Rider SE is specially manufactured to withstand the added torque and force when mounted on the hitch...

  • Best 4-Bike Rack To Clear Rear Doors On a 2007 Dodge Sprinter
    The only way you are going to be able to open the rear doors on your 2007 Dodge Sprinter with a bike rack installed and the bikes attached would be to use a swing-away bike rack. I saw that you were looking at four bike racks so if this is how many bikes you have then I recommend going with the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack part # SR2415 which is currently the most cost effective option that fits the bill. However, you will need the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SR0500 for...

  • Will the Thule Camber 2 TH9058 Fit a 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-350 Sedan
    Yes, the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 will work perfectly on your 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-350 Sedan. There will be plenty of bumper clearance and the tilting mechanism will allow you to get into your trunk without having to remove the bike rack. The Roadway 2 has a threaded hitch pin so the rack will be stable while in transit and it comes with a lifetime warranty which Thule stands by. Please note if any of your bikes have an alternative frame you will also need the SportRack Bike...

  • Do the Cradles on the SportRack Trunk Bike Carrier Move While in Transport
    I viewed the video (1:08 mark) about the SportRack 3 bike carrier # SR3152 that you referenced, and the cradles are actually pretty secure and will take a little force to move them around to the desired position. So you won't need to worry about the cradles sliding while you are driving down the road. This bike rack can carry 3 bikes and the weight capacity is 105 pounds. If you will be transporting any woman's, child's or alternative frame bikes, an adapter like # SR0500 will be a...

  • Which Spare Tire Bike Rack Has the Highest Weight Capacity
    I have attached a list of all our spare tire mounted bike racks for you to look through. Out of these options, the Surco Spare Tire 3 Bike Rack part # BT300 as you mentioned has the highest carrying capacity which is 35 lbs per bike. The rest of the spare tire mounted bike rack options we offer top out at 33 lb per bike. The Surco will allow for up to 3 bikes to be carried at a time, has rubber pads to protect the bike's frame, and comes with a lock. If you will be using this bike rack...

  • Can the Thule Doubletrack be Used with Womens Bikes
    If you are using the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack part # TH92BJ with a bike that has an alternative frame like most womens bikes then you are going to want to use an adapter bar like the Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SR0500 on each of those bikes. The adapter bar will hook around both the seat/handlebar post and provide a level surface for the frame hook to attach to. The frame hooks themselves can go pretty low but the issue is that if you did not use this adapter bar then you risk...

  • How To Carry Bikes On a 2002 Volkswagen Passat Wagon W8 4Motion
    I do have options for you depending on what you need a trailer hitch for but unfortunately there is not one available for the 2002 Volkswagen Passat Wagon W8 4Motion. I called both trailer hitch manufacturers we carry (Curt/Draw-Tite) and neither of them make a hitch for your vehicle. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 11164 that you referenced will only fit 2003-2004 model years. If the reason that you wanted a trailer hitch was to tow a trailer then you would need a different vehicle...

  • Bike Adapter Bar Compatible with Bike That Has 20-Inch Spacing Between Handlebar Stem and Seat Post
    The Rhino-Rack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # RRRBCA021 is sized to work best on bikes that have a handlebar to seat post distance of 23 to 29-inches. But since we offer these adapter bars from many makers we can find one for you that will better fit the 20-inch span on your wife's bike. Instead you can use the Kuat Ubar # UB01, the Hollywood Racks # HRBA-PRO or the SportRack # SR0500. All of these can accommodate the 20-inch spacing.

  • Will the Yakima Fullback 2 Fit a 2021 Nissan Sentra with a Factory Spoiler?
    Yes, I confirmed with Yakima that the FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 will fit your 2021 Nissan Sentra with a factory spoiler. If you have a children's bike, women's style bike, or step through bike, I recommend an adapter bar like the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SR0500. The adapter bar will give you a straight horizontal frame that is required to mount on the FullBack 2.

  • Swinging Bike Rack to Carry Triathlon Bike
    The only potential workaround to carry your triathlon bike with the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack # SR2415 would be to use a bike frame adapter bar such as # SR0500 which may work with the aero shaped seat post on your Tri bike as its hook opening is 3-1/2" long x 2-1/8" wide so you would need to ensure your seat post is smaller than those dimensions. The adapter bar telescopes from 15-1/4" to 22-5/8" so you would also need to measure to ensure the distance from your seat post to handlebar...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2006 Honda CR-V With a Spare Tire
    For your 2006 Honda CR-V with a spare tire I recommend using the Thule Apex Swing 4 Bike Rack # TH9027XT. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the upright bar on the carrier is 12 inches which should give you more than enough room for your spare tire. This bike rack features a swinging arm that will allow you to gain access to your cargo area just keep in mind that you will most likely not be able to open your rear door all of the way. It also has bike locks built into...

  • Is the Swagman XTC2 TILT a Good Rack for My 2021 Lexus RX 350?
    Yes, the Swagman XTC2 TILT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S64671 is a great economical rack to use on your 2021 Lexus RX 350 with a 2-inch hitch receiver. As far as installing and removing your hitch to your vehicle, all it requires is for you to slide the shank of the rack into the hitch receiver and place the hitch pin into the pinhole of the receiver. Since the Swagman XTC2 only weighs 30 pounds, it is easily manageable to lift. As far as traveling at high...

    The best bike rack that will carry both an e-bike with fenders and a Trek road bike is going to be the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches item # S94FR. This bike rack is rated to be used on all vehicles, motorhomes, and trailers. It has a 70 lbs capacity per bike. You will still be able to access your rear hatch with the carrier attached but you may have to remove the bikes.

  • How To Carry 4 Various Bikes On A 2019 Subaru Ascent And Have Access To The Trunk
    The SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches - Swinging # SR2415 will certainly be able to swing out far enough to gain access to the trunk of your 2019 Subaru Ascent. I attached a demonstration video which shows this being accomplished on a similar vehicle, the Subaru Outback. For any oddly-shaped bikes such as kid's, step-thru, women's, or full-suspension bikes, you will want to add an adapter bar such as # SR0500. One thing to note is that any hanging bike rack could potentially...

    After doing some digging, I was able to find one option for a 3-bike trunk-mounted bike rack for your 2016 Lexus RC 300, from Yakima: - Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack # Y02633 The FullBack will fit your Lexus, but it is also just a really nice rack with strong anti-sway cradles and ratcheting straps which secure your bikes at three different points; this ensures your bike won't swing while you are traveling, keeping it steady to protect the bike as well as your Lexus.

  • Comparing the Thule, Yakima, and SportRack Swinging Bike Racks for a 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
    The compatibility of the bikes rack that you listed is going to be dependent on what trailer hitch you have installed on your 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. That said, most of them do not sit too far behind the bumper so you should not have any issues with this. If you don't already have a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13200 which I can confirm will work with the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack part # Y02465, the Thule Apex Swing XT 4 Bike Rack part # TH9027XT,...

  • Recommended Curt Class III Receiver and SportRack 3-Bike Rack for 2011 GMC Terrain
    Although some Class II receivers are offered for your Terrain, I always recommend going with a Class III whenever the choice is available. Although the greater capacity is not that important to you, the 2 inch receiver that the Class III uses is much more common, therefore there is a better selection of hitch mounted accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers available for the 2 inch receiver. The etrailer Class III Receiver, part # e98865 is our most popular hitch for your Terrain and...

  • Will Thule TH982XT Bike Adapter Bar Work With Trek MT-201 Pedal Bike Adapter
    The Thule # TH982XT Frame Adapter Bar will work with your MT-201 Trek Pedal Trailer if the distance between the seat post and either the handlebar gooseneck or an upright portion of the handlebar on the trailer are at least 16 inches apart. If the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post is closer than 16 inches apart, the SportRack # SR0500 will work with spans as small as 15-1/4 inches. I've linked to videos where my buddies Dustin and Matt show how the adapters work.

  • I Can't Use A Conventional Adapter Bar On My Bike - How Can I Use My Hollywood Bike Rack With Hooks?
    Hello Susan, what exactly is preventing you from using a conventional bike frame adapter? Is it because of the size of the frame? If so, one option may be to use the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SR0500. It has an opening on each end 3-1/2" long and 2-1/8" wide, so it can accommodate larger frames than most adapter bars. If you can tell me exactly why the adapter bar is not working, and/or the frame size I may be able to shed more light on the situation. If the frame is too large...

  • Which Hitch-Mounted 4 Bike Rack Is Recommended For Bikes With Fenders?
    I have a solution for you, but wheel-mount bike racks such as the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22G-NA22G are not typically ideal for bikes with a fender or basket. This is because the hook that mounts around the tire could interfere with and cause damage to the fender or basket. That said, I attached a photo that a customer submitted, showing this rack being used with a bike that does have a front fender and basket. While the Kuat NV 2.0 could potentially work for you, I still recommend going...
