Notes:
5th Wheels, motorhomes, and travel trailers have different suspensions than standard commuter vehicles. The Swagman Escapee is designed to handle the extra bounce and sway that results from being placed further away from your vehicle's rear axle. It also gives your bikes 5" higher clearance than most other RV-rated platform racks. The Escapee is constructed with reinforced steel, so it will easily carry 2 e-bikes that weigh up to 60 lbs each. But it's not just for your RV. You can also install it in the 2" hitch on your car, truck, or SUV.
The Escapee has ratcheting hooks that grab your bikes firmly by the front wheel, not the frame. This ensures the paint on your e-bike's frames won't get scratched or scuffed during transport. To load your bikes, simply place your front wheels in the cradles, rotate the arms up and over the wheels, and press down firmly on the ratcheting hooks.
The wheel trays have cradles with ratcheting straps that secure your rear wheel to the rack. The straps slide along the cradles 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.
If you're using the rack on a passenger vehicle and want the ability to fold it up for storage, you can remove the RV bolt at the back of the hitch bar assembly and replace it with the included pin and clip. In this configuration, you can fold the rack up when you aren't carrying bikes. This means you don't have to remove the rack to park in small lots at the trail head or in cramped parking garages. You must re-install the RV bolt to use the rack on your RV again.
The rack installs with a threaded, anti-rattle hitch pin. Simply slide the shank into your hitch receiver, insert the threaded hitch pin, and tighten it down with the included tool. This will reduce noise and movement while the rack is installed.
The included locks secure your bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. A lock in each release button prevents the ratcheting hooks from being raised, so your bikes can't be removed from the rack. The hitch lock simply snaps onto the hitch pin. The hooks and hitch lock are keyed alike, so you'll only need 1 key for all locks.
An available telescoping ramp (sold separately) lets you easily roll your heavy e-bikes up and onto the trays so you don't have to lift your bikes onto the rack.
