Features:
Specs:
Note: Cargo bikes with running boards will need the running boards from one side removed before mounting the bike to the rack.
Padded, Ratcheting Hooks
The Sport Rider SE mast has a pair of ratcheting hooks that hold your bikes securely by the top tube. And because they move independently, you can carry bikes of different shapes and sizes. The hooks have soft padding that won't scratch or scuff your bike's paint.
Adjustable Wheel Hoops
The rack has wheel hoops that provide a stable base for mounting your bikes. Each hoop has a hand knob that lets you easily slide it along the tray to accommodate your bike's wheelbase.
Folding, Tilting Design
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.
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 ratcheting hooks have lock cores in the release buttons so you can secure your bikes to the rack. Simply slide the hooks over your bikes' top tubes until they click and lock them in place. There is also a keyed-alike locking hitch pin that secures the rack to your vehicle.

I have a Dirty Sixer 36" wheel bike and my wife has an electric bike. This rack handles them both very easy. This is one of the only bikes racks the 36er will fit on. We are extremely happy with the purchase and will more than likely be purchasing another one in the near future. Assembly was very easy!!
This bike rack works great for our 2 Lectric 2.0 e-bikes. We mount it on our 2019 Honda Ridgeline. It folds up nicely when it’s on the truck and we are using our bikes. The locking mechanisms work well also. I contacted support for a smaller hook arm to clamp B over the bike frame. They knew exactly what I needed and shipped it - no problem.
Used the rack for two E bikes on a 4000 mile two month trip. The tack worked great. It is easy to load and unload bikes with just two straps and tower support. The tower folds down to make loading the bike closest to the car just as easy as the outer bike. I usually just line the bike up with the rack and then hold the rear brake so I can pull back on the handlebars to lift the front wheel off the ground and pivot into the front of the rack then lift the rear onto the rack. That makes it easy for one person to load a 50 pound E-bike.
The rack itself is rather heavy to mont onto the car but it needs to be to handle the weight of the bikes. Other than the weight it is easy to install by just inserting into the hitch receiver and it has a tension device so it doesn’t flop around when mounted. Overall a great product I am very happy with.
Only issue I have it lighting. With the bikes mounted it is difficult to see the vehicle tail and brake lights. With a cover on the bikes the tail/brake lights are useless.
I made a “light bar” that I can mount to the rear of the rack inserted where a red reflector is located. Hollywood now sells a strip light that gets strapped onto the bikes. I’m not sure how that would work with a cover. I think they need to have better options.
Works great for our two Rad-Bikes which are quite heavy with fat tires.
Easy to use and the helpful video guides show exactly how to do everything. The Hollywood SE was basically the only option that gave me the confidence to transport our heavy electric fat bikes back and forth between our homes eight hours apart. And they are also convenient enoughtonuse for a 20 minute haul to local trail. Great service and great product.
I've been using this bike rack alongside a trailer hitch I got here for my small car (chevy bolt ev) and it was exactly what I was looking to get to haul around my fat tire mountain bike bike.
Sometimes I throw two bikes on there (either an e-bike, slightly heavier at 60 lbs, or a 2nd mountain bike) and it's perfect.
We love this for our E- Bikes . My husband said once he figured out the parts assembly was straightforward . We used the rack for our RV and it was perfect . Very sturdy and adjusts easily to our bikes . We are very pleased with this rack and would recommend !
THIS RACK SAVED OUR e-BIKES FROM GETTING STOLEN!
The would-be thieves cut the cable that I used to secure the bikes together but they couldn't release the locking hooks on the bike rack to be able to remove the bikes. The straps holding the wheels to the brackets were cut, but they really aren't necessary for holding the bikes on the rack anyway.
This rack is so simple to use and has performed flawlessly every time.
We've used it on quite a few trips, one of them was over 5800 miles in 3 weeks! 100% worth the price!
This rack was considerable less money than the other options I found. I was concerned the quality might not be adequate but I have been very pleased with the quality, stability, and ease of use of the Hollywood Racks
sportRider Rack for 2 Electric Bikes.
Caveat, I have only carried one ebike at a time on this rack but have used it in mild offroad conditions so I would not hesitate to use it for 2 ebikes on blacktop. I would monitor stability closely if carrying 2 ebikes offroad but it seems like it would be up to the task.
Overall good experience. Order was one day later than communicated and no email at time of delivery to say arrived.
No reference to part # I ordered on line (different # on outside of box) ; made it a little confusing as to did I get right rack for RV?
In the end happy with order and actual rack!

Easy to use! Product has worked just fine. No issues whatsoever.
We just completed an 8K mile RV trip with the Hollywood rack mounted on our rear hitch. We have 2 Lectric e-bikes, we purchased this rack because it was rated for the combined weight of our bikes. The rack performed perfectly! We were able to easily load and unload the bikes and the rack held up very well. While the photo doesn't highlight the rack, it does show the use of my etrailer adapter to support the Hollywood rack and our tow vehicle. The rack is nicely out of the way of the tow vehicle and has plenty of clearance from the airflow at the back of the RV.
Love this rack. I put two heavy e-bikes on the back of my motor home with this rack. It’s easy to use, easy to secure and remove the bikes, and the rack is very sturdy and well designed. I couldn’t be happier with this product.
I was surprised with how soon the rack arrived after I ordered it. Odelia was very helpful in placing my order and followed up with a couple of emails.
The rack was packaged very nicely. Assembly was easy. My only nit was labeling of the front & back of the rack in the instructions was confusing. The back of the rack should be farthest from the vehicle and the front closest to the vehicle. Otherwise the assembly instructions were clear and assembly was smooth. I’m using this rack with a 41 pound e-bike.
I’ve driven it around the neighborhood and I can’t wait until the COVID emergency is over to take a road trip with my bike using the rack.

It’s still great! And it’s easy to lock down the bike. One hint is to lock the arm that holds the frame do if you go over a bump, it doesn’t loosen up.
The Hollywood Sports Ride SE Bike Rack was easy to assemble. Although it was heavier than I excepted. But I then realized that it was going to support 130 pounds of e-bikes. My wife assists me in installing the bike rack on the car as it is easier for two people. I also installed the Small wheel hoop adapters, which raises the rear wheel and protects the derailers. After my first trip with the e-bikes, I am very pleased with the ease of getting the bikes on and off of the bike rack. I would definitely this rack again.
After one year, this rack has been perfect. Rock solid, no issues whatsoever. I use it on the class C RV, but also on the mini van. I had a great laugh all the way home from a trip last week. The view in my rear camera made the bikes with baskets look like a corpse hanging off the rear...Haha. 750 miles and didn't even get pulled over!
Very solid construction.
I have 2 heavy electric bikes and it seems to work fine. Not many racks are rated as high for weight.
This rack is heavy, easy to assemble and has zero wobble. The reason I purchased this rack was due to the quality of the rack, but also my last experience with trailer. Great customer service, and if you have a question, it's pretty easy to get hold of a real person!
I actually purchased this for an Ebike.
Excellent bike rack. Easy to put together. Fits perfect with the etrailer curt hitch. This is a heavy duty bike rack, which also means it heavy but still manageable. Using this for my Aventon Ebike.
I am a mechanical engineer and I must say that I am very impressed. This is a well engineered and sturdy bike rack that is easy to install and easier to use. Heavy duty frame and hardware and swinging it up is almost automatic. You get what you pay for and this is an excellent value.
This bike rack is stable and well-engineered. I especially like how it folds out of the way, and how it folds downward to allow access to my RAV4 hatchback door.
It wasn't too hard to assemble and it does a good job. The straps that hold the bike came upside down but was an easy fix. I'm disappointed that the locking trailer hitch pin didn't fit. It was like 2mm too short, and it was too thick to fit the hole. Can anyone recommend a different one?
This 2 bike rack was packed well to help protect the parts, once unpacked and layed out on the cardboard it became really easy to assemble using the step by step instructions. If you have a heavy ebike this is the rack for you. The price is right also.

Perfect
First let me clarify this review is for the rack mounted to a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I bought the rack to carry two step-through ebikes, both are identical. The rack went together fairly easily, follow the instructions carefully. I did not measure the time as it was over 90 degrees in my garage and at 73 I took frequent breaks. The rack is VERY heavy as it mist carry bikes up to 80 lbs each. There is not much clearance between to rack and the spare tire on the Jeep. The first 2 photos photos will show you and I became a little worried immediately upon seeing that. After building the rest of the rack, I mounted it into the hitch tube. All looks good from the photos, but now the problem arises. According to the website, this rack is supposed to fit and function for my Jeep. I tried to fold the rack into the storage position and that does not work. The Jeep spare interferes with folding as you can see from. the next photos. In addition, I tried the tilt function. According to the website, the rack tilts down allowing access to the cargo area. As you can see from the photos, the spare tire again impacts the rack and the cargo area cannot be accessed. I have to remove the entire rack to access the cargo area. Luckily I can access it from the side doors if really needed. Two more photos showing the rack ready for use and with one of the ebikes mounted. Be careful mounting, pay close attention to both he pedals and kickstand. In my experiments, I found the bike closest to the car should be mounted with the handlebars on the passenger side. It was also difficult to get the wheel supports to adjust with the weight of the bike. The last problem occured after mounting both bikes. The frame hook for the 2nd bike does NOT extend low enough to engage the bike. There is a couple inch space above the adapter bar. Based on strength and construction, a very good rack, however, the inability to properly fold and tilt on my Jeep and the lack of tight fitting frame hooks lowers the overall rating. If you have a Jeep with full size mounted spare, look at another option.
This rack is wonderful. Sturdy and reliable, we easily haul our e-bikes across the country. Holds bikes weighing up to 75lbs each, but ours are only 55lbs with batteries on. It is big to store when not on the car and a little heavy, but nothing unmanageable. To load heavier bikes you have to crab-walk them on one tire at a time, but my wife or I can both do this independently. It is easily adjustable so we use this for our non-electric bikes, which allowed us to give away our previous high-end bike rack that couldn’t haul electric bikes. I would highly recommend.
After a year and several long trips, this rack for eBikes is exactly what is needed. Although it’s heavy, so are the bikes. Properly mounted it’s a sturdy and secure solution. If you’re smaller or older, it might be wise to use two people to mount it to a hitch. Storing it is a pain in the !@#$. But I wouldn’t buy any other rack for heavy eBikes.
