Powered Bike Rack for E-Bikes
The Door County powered bike rack makes it easy to load your heavy e-bikes. It draws power from your vehicle's 7-way connector, so you can raise it and lower it with the push of a button. If your vehicle only has a 4-way connector, you can upgrade it with a 7-way kit (ETBC7L - sold separately).
Insert the key to activate power and press the down button on the touch pad to lower the rack. With your bikes loaded, press the up button to raise the rack. In case of emergency, hit the pause button to stop the rack from moving.
To keep you visible and safe, the Door County also has LED brake lights and turn signals, so you don't have to worry about larger bikes blocking your vehicle's tail lights.
Adjustable Arms with Frame Clamps
Ratcheting clamps with soft pads grab your bikes by the top tubes or downtubes to ensure safe transport with minimal movement and noise. The clamps can be rotated to grab bike frames with angled downtubes.
The arms are detachable so you can reposition them anywhere along the upright tube to fit bikes of any frame style or shape.
Curved Trays for Easy Loading
Curved wheel trays allow you to easily roll your bikes onto the rack. To load your bikes, raise the front end of your heaviest bike a few inches off the ground and roll it onto the tray closest to your vehicle, then lift and roll your second bike onto the front tray.
Ratcheting wheel straps with quick-release levers secure your bike's wheels to the trays.
Foot Pedal for Easy Tiliting
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.
To tilt the rack, just step on the pedal at the front of the wheel tray and lower the rack carefully with both hands. To return it to the upright position, push the rack back toward the base until it locks into position with an audible click.
Folds for Easy Transport and Compact Storage
The rack folds up for easy transport and compact storage. The wheel tray folds in half and there is a small lever under the base of the rack that lets you fold up the shank. It also includes a storage cover to keep the rack dry and clean while it's in storage.
Built-in wheels let you easily roll the rack, so you don't have to lift it and carry it to your vehicle. You can use the upright mast as a handle to steer the rack as you're rolling it across your garage.
Complete Security for Bikes and Rack
Locks on each frame clamp knob secure your bikes to the rack. The lock on the clamp also prevents the tab at the end of the arm from opening, keeping it secured to the frame.
A locking hitch pin is included to secure the rack to your vehicle. The threaded hitch pin also helps eliminate rattle in the hitch receiver during transport. The locks are keyed alike with the power unit, so you only need to use 1 key.

My husband bought the bike rake specifically to carry out 2 Specialized Ebike’s which weight 62 to 65 pounds each. MWith this rake I don’t have to lift my bike up which is great when I’m alone. The only problem I’ve had is the outside bike straps. One of the ratchets broke and E-Trailer was wonderful in helping get us a replacement. My husband put the new one on. I do have friend’s that will be purchasing them in spring.
The only complaints I have would be to Saris. Placement of the outside straps. It’s awkward latching them. Also, when my husband bought the rack the maximum weight load was more. They changed it to a lower amount.

You get what you pay for! Compared to the leading competitor, this e-bike rack was a breeze in setup and fit our Gazelles bikes like a charm. etrailer, as has been my experience over 10 years, was easy to work with in exchanging this rack and offering a price match credit. We got our product in 2 days from order and everything was in order with the charges. This rack rocks and is very stable. My only gripe is they need more instructional wording in their manuals. Pictures are great but need legends to match the pictures. The etrailer reviews were true to form. Order now folks - you won't be disappointed!

We’ve just completed a 3000+ mile journey with our new bike rack and our heavy e-bikes. LOVE IT! Super sturdy, easy to use and really convenient.

view full answer... - Are There Any Swing-Away Adapters For A Saris Door county Bike Rack Because of the high weight and per bike capacity of the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR it hasn't been tested with any swing-away style hitch extenders. Hitch extenders reduce the capacity of the trailer hitch by 50% so this will typically reduce the capacity too low for it to be useful anymore. Physically the # SAR42RR could fit into an adapter like the # SAR36VR, but it has a per bike capacity of 35lbs total capacity of 250lbs (bikes and rack). If you have a...

This bike rack has a swing arm that will allow you to move the bikes over the the passenger side and open both rear doors with the bikes still in the rack. It has a 60lb per bike capacity and also includes integrated bike lock cables to prevent theft. It doesn't have an easy load feature...

The anti-rattle hitch pin lock # SA3022 included with this rack has a 7/16" thickness and threads into the shank of the rack to clamp it to the receiver tube and prevent any movement/rattling. As long as you have a 2" trailer hitch receiver you'll be able to use the Saris Doo County...

The hanging style racks won't work with e-bikes anyhow due to capacity. If the handlebar post and seat post are between 19-25" apart then fit won't be an issue. If you need a platform style rack, the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part...

If you're wanting to easily load/unload your e-bikes without the need of a ramp then the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR would likely be the best solution for you. It has a built in lift so you can raise and lower the rack for easy use. It...
view full answer... - Recommended Wiring Kit For Using Saris Door Country Bike Rack With a 2020 Toyota Highlander 4-Way.The Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR will require power from a 7-way connector to be able to operate the lift mechanism for the bike rack. A 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L can be added to the 4-way on their 2020 Toyota Highlander to receive power on the charge line circuit to power the lift. This kit does not require connection of the blue brake light wire but I do recommend connecting to the yellow reverse light portion as the Saris rack does have a reverse light built in.

The height it would need to be lifted to fit in a hitch receiver will vary by vehicle, and the hitch receiver, but you can count on having to lift it at least a foot. That is a big deal since the rack is 63 lbs. The rack does fold and in addition to having wheels there are handles on the top of the rack that will...

We have the Saris Door County Bike Rack part # SAR42RR that has taillights built in and a 7-way trailer wiring harness. This hitch only fits the 2 inch hitch size and was more designed for e-bikes that weigh a lot more but we also have the Thule Epos part # TH49XE which fits both the 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch hitch size. The wiring harness of this rack is a 4-way which is more commonly found on lighter duty vehicles. Taillights aren't super common on bike racks in the US unlike...

The Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - Electric Lift - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # SAR42RR, will work with the Replacement Rim Protector for Hollywood Racks TRS SE 2-Bike Rack - Qty 1, part # HRTRS-RP-STP.

The newer Ford F-150s are pretty odd to get the 12 volt circuit active on the 7-way like what this bike rack needs to activate. One solution would be to bypass all of that by running a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 from the battery positive post to the 1:00 pin...

The issue is being rated for an RV, weight capacity for ebikes, and especially the fenders, as the Thule rack you mentioned is wheel-mounted so won't work with fenders. If you're okay going with a 2-bike rack, there isn't an option for one with a ramp, but there is one with an electric lift if your Winnebago has a 7-way, the Saris Door County Bike Rack for...

view full answer... - Does 7-Way of ETBC7L Have to be Mounted to Fascia Using Draw-Tite Hitch 76225Greatly appreciate the nice words, and I wish I could be as helpful here, but the 7-way of the # ETBC7L does have to be mounted to the fascia of your 2018 Dodge Journey when installing the Draw-Tite # 76225. The reason for that is how this specific hitch installs, directly behind the bumper and with the receiver dropping down. So there isn't enough room for a second bracket to stick out either forward or backwards for the bracket of the 7-way to latch onto. There also isn't enough space...

If the weight you have is calculated while the battery is installed on the bike the removing it would significantly drop the weight and would most likely allow you to use this rack.
