Expert Answers about Bike Trailer for Kids


  • Is Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack Compatible with Kids Bikes
  • Hey Fulton, thanks for reaching out! The Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack # TH26ZE is compatible with 20" - 29" wheel diameters so it will work with smaller bikes, but not if you have smaller kids bikes with something like a 18" wheel. The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # KU77FR has a wider range of wheel compatibility at 18" - 29" and has specs that match pretty close to the Pro X so I recommend checking out the Transfer V2 if your kids bikes have an 18" wheel.

  • Will Bike Trailer Arm for Thule Cheetah Work with Thule Cadence
  • I'd be happy to help, Jessica! I have a growing family of my own so looking at longevity when it comes to things for the littles is definitely something my wife and I are familiar with. With that being said, the bike trailer kit for your Cheetah XT, part # TH20100506, is a different design than what fits with the Cadence so they unfortunately won't be backwards compatible. The good news is that even though the Cadence is a 2-Seater, in Green # TH10101802 or Red # TH89HC, you can safely...

  • Will Yakima Bike Rack Work With Malone Dual Hitch Adapter
  • Hey Michael, Yep, your Yakima bike rack will work with the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544. The only thing you'll want to keep in mind is adapters like this reduce the capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent, including the tongue weight. Just as a quick example, if your Tundra's hitch is rated for 10,000 lbs towing and 1,000 lbs tongue weight, any adapter - including the # MPG544 - will reduce it to 5,000 lbs towing and 500 lbs tongue weight.

  • Can a 1 1/4" to 2" Hitch Expander Be Used With a Thule Epos Bike Rack
  • You can use the Thule Epos Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # TH69XE with a receiver adapter like # HTAD but be aware that your tongue weight capacity of your hitch will be reduced by 50%. I'm not sure what the capacity sits at as is, but I'd guess somewhere around 200-250, meaning you'd be left with 100-125 lbs of tongue weight not including the rack itself which weighs 51 lbs. So after everything is said and done, you'd have approximately 50-75 lbs to work with before you're overloaded. If that's...

  • Can Regular Bikes Be Loaded on the Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Fat Bikes and 2 Kayaks
  • Great question, Terry! The bike racks that come with the Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Fat Bikes and 2 Kayaks # MPG461KB will still work with normal sized bike tires just fine. The fat tire compatibility is just a nice feature that means you can carry bikes with tires up to that fat tire size - but there isn't a minimum tire size for bikes.

  • Is the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 4 Bikes Rated for Use Behind a 5th Wheel Trailer?
  • Sorry but no. The Thule T2 Pro XTR item # TH69TX is not rated for 5th wheel trailers either. It only works with your standard motor vehicles and motorhomes. Additionally, there are no 4-bike platform bike racks that are rated for use behind a 5th wheel trailer. The Yakima LongHaul RV Bike Rack item # Y02476 is our highest capacity hanging bike rack that can be used with 5th wheel trailers. It tops out at 37-1/2 lbs per bike. The best platform bike rack for a 5th wheel trailer is the...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2023 Kia Niro PHEV
  • Pat, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver with Standard Drawbar # C113753 does not look to be a good fit for your 2023 Kia Niro PHEV. It actually does not look like there are any 1 1/4" hitches, so instead you're going to want the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C77NR. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver so it'll work great with any hitch mounted accessory like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR which will also work great with your bikes, has...

  • Is There Gear Trailer That Can Carry 2 Kayaks, Paddleboards and 4 Bikes
  • Hey Randy, for that much gear I would go with a double decker trailer like the Yakima EasyRider part # Y08129. I'd put the two kayaks down below and then use the crossbars on top to carry the bikes and paddleboards.

  • Will Jack-It 2 Bike Rack Fit 2022 Lance 1475 Travel Trailer
  • Yes, the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack # LC429756 will fit on your 2022 Lance 1475. Based on what I was able to find you have a standard electric tongue jack on there. The bike rack fits around jacks with up to 2-1/4" outer tube diameter. It doesn't look like clearance will be a problem and the width of your tongue won't matter for the bike rack fitment.

  • Are There Any 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers Available For A 2005 Toyota Camry
  • Hey Blake, Unfortunately for a 2005 Toyota Camry there are only 1-1/4" trailer hitch receivers available. Fortunately there are hitch adapters available to go from 1-1/4" to 2" in order for you to haul your bike(s). You can install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12339 and use the Tow Ready # 80303 to mount your bike rack. Each adapter is going to have its own regulations, this one requires that the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the shank on your accessory...

  • Will Draw-Tite Hitch For 2017 Ford Fusion Work With 2 Inch Hitch Adapter For Bike Rack
  • Hey Karen, you'll need a specific adapter but the answer is yes, you can use a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch adapter for your bike rack on your 2017 Ford Fusion with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24897. What you will need is one compatible with the Class I hitch, the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD; to secure it to your hitch use the Pin & Clip # F-4. Keep in mind this will halve the capacity of the hitch, so the capacity of your bike rack and bike(s)...

  • How To Mount The Yakima Hold-UP With 2" Hitch Behind a Camper With 1-1/4" Receiver
  • I just have to tell you Ryder, the Yakima HoldUp EVO Bike Rack Y02479 which is the 2" version of the # Y02480 is not rated from Yakima to be used behind any trailer or with any kind of adapter/reducer. With that said it is your rack and your bikes so I cannot stop you from using an Adapter # HTAD to carry the rack. Currently we do not have any RV rated bike racks that fit a 1-1/4" receiver without using an adapter. We do offer the Swagman Traveler XC2 Bike Rack # S64663 which will attach...

  • Bike Rack Rated For 2" Receiver Behind 5TH Wheel And Can Handle Heavy Bikes and 5" Wide Tires
  • The Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack # HLY64FR is capable of supporting 2 bikes up to 80lbs each. It is both compatible with the 2" hitch on the back of your 5th wheel and will fit tires up to 5" wide.

  • Will The Jack-It 2 Bike Rack Fit On A Rockwood Mini Lite 2506s Travel Trailer
  • Hi Joseph, The Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756 is a mostly universal fit that just requires jacks with up to 2-1/4" outer tube diameter that are shorter than 22-1/2" so that the base can clear the jack. I would just measure your step to confirm but there's a high probably that you'll be able to use the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack. The design of the wheel cradles would allow for 26" mountain bike tires without the need for an adapter.

  • Recommended E-Bike Rated Bike Rack w/ a Ramp that is Motorhome Compatible
  • We don't carry the Cravot CyberRack E2 but from what I saw online it says it fits all vehicles with a 2" hitch which doesn't include motorhomes with our vendors. Just your standard truck, car, and vans. I would contact them directly to verify before purchasing. We do have the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric VFR Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # LGA25VR that is rated for all vehicles, motorhomes, travel trailers, and 5th wheel trailers. It has an 80 lbs per bike capacity.

  • Is There A Trailer Hitch Available For A 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE
  • Hi Kevin, The manufacturers we offer unfortunately do not have a trailer hitch confirmed to fit your EQE so the next option for hauling a bike rack would be to go with a roof rack system. There should be some fixed mounting points in your roof that you can use to attach the following roof rack components: Thule Fit Kit # TH53EE Evo Fixpoint Feet for Thule Evo Crossbars # TH49SC Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 After installed you can then mount a rack like the Yakima FrontLoader...

  • Can Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Be Installed with Rear Jack Mounts in the Way
  • Hey Pat, thanks for reaching out and the photos! The Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Standard RV Bumper Support Brackets # MO22FR looks like it will work on your application, but you'll need to more your rear jacks around to make more room, and cut off the welds to allow the brackets to fit. Aside from that you can go with a whole new bumper or have a welder reinforce your current bumper. If you don't already have a hitch receiver on your trailer then I recommend checking out the etrailer...

  • Can the Kuat Piston Pro and Piston Pro X Be Used Behind a Travel Trailer?
  • I spoke with my rep at Kuat and received this information. Both the Piston Pro item # KU76ZR and the Piston Pro X item # KU98VR Bike Rack are only rated to be used behind a class B RV with the hitch mounted the way you mentioned. They each have the same capacities and limitations when it comes to what vehicles and trailers they can be used on. So there's no difference and the information on our website is incorrect and will be updated. Since you are wanting to use a Kuat bike rack on...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2020 Kia Forte Hatchback
  • Hey Richard, yes we do have hitches that fit your 2020 Kia Forte hatchback that you can use with a bike rack. For that the Draw Tite hitch part # DT83MR is a fit and would be a great choice for a bike rack like the Hollywood Racks # HR200Z.
