Pivoting Arms with Ratcheting Hooks
The Curt platform rack has ratcheting hooks that grab your bikes firmly by the front wheel, so it won't scratch or scuff the paint. To load a bike, simply place your front wheel in the cradle, rotate the arm up and over the wheel, and press down firmly on the ratcheting hook. To unload your bike, press the button on the upright arm to release the ratcheting hook, and slide the hook up.
Sliding Ratchet Straps
The wheel trays have cradles with ratcheting straps to secure your rear wheel to the rack. The cradles slide along the tray to accommodate bikes with a variety of wheelbases. To secure your wheel, run the strap over the rim and back down through the strap buckle and pull tight. To remove your bike, press the quick-release button on the buckle and undo the strap.
Front-Mounted Lever for Easy Tilting and Folding
The rack tilts down with your bikes loaded. So, whether you're at the trail or the grocery store, you don't have to remove your bikes to access your cargo area. It also folds up when not in use. This leaves a smaller footprint, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage. And if you want to remove it, it doesn't take up as much space to store it.
To make tilting and folding easier, the Stage 2's release lever is mounted on the front of the rack. This means you won't have to reach through or around your bikes with one hand to reach the lever, while supporting the rack's weight with the other, when lowering the rack. Instead, you'll be able to hold the rack with both hands the entire time.
Tool-Free Installation with Anti-Rattle Device
The rack quickly installs in your hitch receiver, without the need for tools. Just slide the shank into your hitch and turn the knob until snug. Turning the knob deploys an anti-rattle wedge in the shank to help take play out of the hitch connection.
Complete Security
The rack includes locks to secure your bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. Integrated cable locks thread around your bikes' frames and insert into the lock at the top of each arm. The cables store inside the arms when not in use. The lock on the hand knob secures the rack to your vehicle. The hand knob will spin freely when locked so a would-be thief can't operate it. The locks are keyed alike, so you only need to use 1 key.

Awesome rack. We use it for our two Aventon Adventure 2 eBikes. No wobble. Excellent quality, very heavy duty.
Kimberly D. at etrailer was incredible
by: Barbara D04/11/2022
We haul 2 electric bikes with fat tires. They fit on the rack perfectly. Very sturdy rack; anti rattle feature prevents rack from wiggling & bouncing in the receiver - this is a great feature; bike tie downs are very effective & simple to use; tilting & stowage is a great feature. We highly recommend this bike rack.

Still using the Curt bike rack & working perfectly. Great product.
by: Cindy 09/10/2023
We bought two e-bikes and needed a bike rack that could handle them. Right from the beginning I was impressed with etrailer. Great product description, great videos and prices were competitive with other companies. We purchased the Curt rack on 9/6/23 and the delivery date was scheduled for 9/11/23. We were pleasantly surprised when the rack arrived on 9/9/23. We assembled it today and plan on using it next weekend. Assembly was easy.
by: Jack 10/27/2023
The bike rack came as the day it was projected. The assembly was easy and the rack appears to be more than satisfactory. I do intend to add another ratchet strap for added stability as I travel the interstate speeds.
by: Duane 03/19/2024
What great rack, solid and easy to load my e- mtn bike! Price and quality, top notch!!! Very please with my purchase!
by: Keith 07/19/2023
Awesome rack - very easy to assemble. I like the security features like the locking cables and locking hitch connection. Looks like a really sturdy rack for our e-bikes. Quick shipping - I’ve ordered several items from e-trailer, and always had great service.
by: Peg08/28/2023
Very good e-bike rack platform I had to add a ramp as I could not mount the e-bikes alone ( e-bikes were 64lbs each)
by: Jay05/11/2022
Great addition to loading the SUP boards and now adding the e-bike platform to extend the day trips! Extra weight and 4"tire rack is an industry must! Easy to install and set up. Plenty of room for the tail gate access!
by: Steven 05/07/2023
This heavy duty bike rack is great. Holds my two 60 pound E bikes. That’s a total of 120 pounds. No problem at all. Very sturdy. Not to mention etrailer sent this out immediately.tracking was superb.delivery was perfect. Thanks etrailer for a very good.experience.

Great bike rack put together under an hour.. only wish the arms were easier to adjust.

view full answer... - Replacement Clevis Pin For The Curt Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # C89JRHey Robert, Based on the pictures you provided it looks like you do have the Curt Bike Rack # C89JR. It has a tool-free anti-rattle device that presses against the inside of the trailer hitch to prevent movement and a 1/2" diameter clevis pin to fully secure it to the trailer hitch. Since the clevis pin isn't sold separately you could use the Curt Clevis Pin with Handle and Clip # C45805 or just pick up another 1/2" diameter clevis pin and clip from your local farm & home or hardware...
view full answer... - Curt E-Bike Rack Compared to Yakima Holdup Bike RackI am assuming you meant Yakima Holdup part # Y02443 as there isn't a Standup bike rack they offer. This is a pretty similar bike rack to the Curt E-Bike Rack part # C89JR in a few ways as they are both platform racks that use wheel mounts to secure the bikes. The Curt has a 65 lb per bike capacity whereas the Yakima has a 60 lb per bike capacity. The Curt is geared more for carrying e-bikes, or at least that's how it's marketed, but e-bikes almost always have front fenders which would interfere...
view full answer... - Will 2022 Honda Pilot etrailer Hitch Fit With Hands-Free Liftgate Function?It is possible that the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840 will affect the lift-gate sensors on your 2022 Honda Pilot, but we haven't heard anything about this completely voiding their use. Best case scenario is that you'll be able to get the sensor to work by kicking to either side of the receiver, worst case scenario is needing to pick up a sensor relocator kit from your local Honda dealer. This will be the case with any trailer hitch for your vehicle. If you don't already have...

- Best Bike Rack for Transporting E-Bikes Behind a 5th Wheel Trailer The best bike rack for e-bikes that is also rated for a 5th wheel trailer is the Hollywood Racks RV Rider item # HLY64FR. This bike rack has an 80 lbs per bike capacity. It also fits tires up to 5" wide. One of the reasons the RV Rider Bike Rack item # HLY64R is the best for not only a 5th wheel trailer but for e-bikes in general is the attachment method. It uses padded clamps with hand knobs that hold the bikes securely by the frame or seat post. This mounting method avoids any fenders...
view full answer... - Why Can't Curt Bike Rack C89JR Be Used at Rear of Fifth Wheel TrailerAt the rear of a trailer the ride quality is much rougher than at the rear of a vehicle due to the less sophisticated suspension and the very long distance from the axle and the rear of the trailer which exaggerates the movements. The most similar two bike platform rack that is rated for use at the rear of a fifth wheel is the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR which has been reinforced for it.
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Carrier For A Hey Bike E-Bike With FendersThe Curt Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bike # C89JR will actually not work with your Hey Bike rack as it will interfere with your fenders. Instead, I recommend checking out the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # LGA77FR. This bike rack has plenty of capacity, boasting 75-lbs per bike for a total of 150-lbs, is compatible with bikes with fenders, and can accommodate a maximum tire width of 4.5". Attached is a product review video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack for Two Electra 2.0XP Step Thru BikesI have a great bike rack that will work with your Electra 2.0XP step thru bikes but you don't want to use the Curt Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # C89JR because it will damage your fenders. Instead, I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack item # S94FR. It has a weight capacity of 70 lbs per bike and is rated for use on all motor vehicles, fifth wheels, motorhomes, travel trailers, and flat towed vehicles. This is a frame mounted bike rack that completely avoids your Electra's fenders....
view full answer... - Will the Curt Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes Work with Full Fender Bikes or What Rack Will WorkNo, the Curt Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # C89JR will not work for your 2 e-bikes with fenders and there is no add on for this rack if you decide to add a 3rd bike. We have a couple bike rack options to carry 2 e-bikes with full fenders, but we do not have any great options to carry 3 e-bikes that have full fenders. If your e-bikes are not a step-thru model you can use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR which uses a frame mount style and will...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack for a 2010 Chrysler Sebring ConvertibleYou'll need a couple things to tow, the first of which is a hitch. For the 2010 Chrysler Sebring, the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame, part # 24871 is a confirmed fit. It has a no-drill installation process, so it should be easy for you to install. I've included a video of it being installed on a 2008 Chrysler Sebring soft top convertible, so you can get an idea of the installation process. If you're going to be towing a trailer with the Sebring then you'll need trailer wiring as well....
view full answer... - Best Mid-Range Platform Wheel Mount Bike Rack with LocksThe RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10004 is a solid choice for a bike rack and I'd go with it over the Curt Bike Rack # C89JR (the same as 18088) any day of the week. Curt isn't a huge bike rack manufacturer so I'm not very confident in their recreational products to be honest - when it comes to towing though, Curt is right at the top with others. In regards to bikes wobbling this shouldn't be the case if they were installed properly. You might see the bike rack wobble some during travel but...
