This Swagman Skaha 2 Plus combines a platform-style bike rack with a cargo carrier. It allows you to carry 2 e-bikes and camping equipment, tents, and other gear at the same time, so you won't have to leave any gear behind on your next trip.
The cargo carrier has raised side rails that help keep your cargo contained and provide multiple tie-down points. It holds up to 100 lbs when used in conjunction with the bike rack.
It can also function as a stand-alone cargo carrier if you don't need to carry your bikes. Simply remove the bike rack and insert the carrier into your vehicle's 2" hitch. In this configuration, the cargo carrier can hold up to 400 lbs of gear.
The Swagman Skaha has ratcheting hooks that grab your bikes firmly by the front wheel, not the frame. It's perfect for carrying bikes with a carbon frame or a custom paint job. 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 ratcheting straps that secure your rear wheel to the rack. The straps 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.
When the rack is unloaded you can remove the pin at the base to fold it up for storage. This means you don't have to remove it to park in small lots at the trail head or in cramped parking garages.
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.
