Powered Bike Rack for E-Bikes

Saris Door County

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).


Saris Door County

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.


Saris Door County Lights

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

Saris Door County

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.


Saris Door County

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

Saris Door County

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.


Saris Door County

Ratcheting wheel straps with quick-release levers secure your bike's wheels to the trays.


Foot Pedal for Easy Tiliting

Saris Door County

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.


Saris Door County

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

Saris Door County

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.


Saris Door County

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

Saris Door County

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.


Saris Door County

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!



by:

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.



by:

The electric lift allowed me to load my ebike without extra help. Highly recommend



by:

This rack will be a game changer for myself and wife. My wife was very pleased she can now go on rides when I’m on the road working.

Really enjoy the ease of loading my bike. Enjoying the quickness and ability to load by myself a heavy bike.

  • What E-Bike Carrier Do You Recommend For 2013 Itasca Navion iQ Motorhome And A Toyota 4Runner
    I took a look at all of our hitch bike racks rated to carry e-bikes and are motorhome compatible. We only have one rack that weighs under 40 lbs, secures the bikes by the wheels, and is motorhome compatible. It is the rack you mentioned in your question, the Saris SuperClamp HD 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount, part # SAR44VR. Our next best option is the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount, part # KU84FR. For starters it is motorhome compatible....

  • What Type of Trailer Wiring Does Saris Door County Bike Rack Need for 2019 Toyota Sienna SE
    The lighting of the Saris Door County Bike Rack for E-Bikes part # SAR42RR does require a 7-way connector installed on the tow vehicle. Now there is a 7-way kit that fits your 2019 Toyota Sienna with the part # TK87FR but since you only need the taillight wiring and not a brake controller (for trailer brakes), it would be most cost effective to go with the 4-way kit part # 118648 and then use the 7-way adapter part # 37185 instead. There wouldn't be any ground clearance issues with this...

    Hi Mark, So I scoured every bike rack option, and unfortunately one with the exact configuration doesn't exist, for a couple reasons. 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...

  • 7-Way Extension For Use With Saris Door County Bike Rack
    Happy to help you out, and the 7-way extension Evangeline used in the video on the 4Runner of the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR is the TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension # TLW6036. This is a total of 42 inches long, which may be a bit too long for your application so I think the better option is the 32 inch long TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension # TLW6028.

  • Does 7-Way of ETBC7L Have to be Mounted to Fascia Using Draw-Tite Hitch 76225
    Greatly 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...

  • Solution for Platform Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes on Class A Motorhome
    The Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 can only be used on passenger vehicles. For a 2 bike rack for electric bikes that is compatible with your 2021 Georgetown 7 Series GT7 I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR. This bike rack is rated for motorhome use and can handle up to 80 lbs per bike. Unfortunately, there are no options with a ramp like the Thule for your motorhome. However, if loading and unloading is a big concern we do have the Saris Door County Bike Rack...

  • Does The Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR Fit All 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers
    Hi David, The Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR does require a 2" trailer hitch receiver tube opening in order to mount. Hitch pin holes for a 2" hitch are typically 5/8" in diameter. 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...

  • Recommended Bike Rack For Two 50lb E-Bikes With Easy Loading And Unloading
    A dirt bike/motorcycle carrier like the etrailer Aluminum Motorcycle Carrier for 2" Hitches # e56UR would definitely be a more sturdy option for a 50lb e-bike, but the option we currently offer are only for a single bike. 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...

  • Can The Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR Haul Ride1UP 700 Series E-Bikes
    The Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR only has a 60lb per bike capacity so it unfortunately will not be able to handle the weight of your Ride1UP 700 Series e-bikes. 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. The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202 has a 65lb per bike capacity and would be able to handle...

  • Loading And Unloading The Saris Door County Bike Rack In/Out Of A Trailer Hitch Receiver
    The shank on the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR sits about 5" from the ground. When plugged into the vehicle 7-way for power the shank has a total of 10-1/2" of travel to give you a shank height of about 15". If your trailer hitch receiver tube falls under 15" then you'd be able to simply plug in, lift the shank, and roll the bike rack right into the hitch. If your hitch sits higher than 15" then you could still raise the shank and lift the rack onto a piece...

    If you're using the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SA3040 on a Lectric XP 2.0 E-Bike with a platform style rack then there will be no issues but if you're using it on a hanging style rack then you will be way over capacity. 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.

  • Can Saris Door County Bike Rack Be Used At Back of Motorhome
    The Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR is a really unique option but it is only rated for use on passenger vehicles as it can't handle the extra movement found at the back of motorhomes and towable trailers so we need to look for a different bike rack solution. For your application I recommend checking out the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack # HLY64FR instead. This is designed for heavier e-bikes and has been rated for use on a motorhome as well. It doesn't have the whole "elevator"...

    The Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - Electric Lift - 2" Hitches # SAR42RR works on a Dodge Ram 1500 as long as you have a 2" hitch installed, a 7-way wiring harness installed, and have enough rear bumper clearance. If you have a 2" hitch installed, there is a way that you can measure your setup to make sure you have rear bumper clearance. From the center of your hitch's pinhole, measure the length to the outside face of the rear bumper. If that measurement is less than...

If you have the tow package you can find the connector underneath the vehicle, on the passenger's side, on top of the frame rail near the rear tire.

    The weight capacity for the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR is 60 lbs per bike so to use this with your Rad bikes that are 65 lbs you would want to take out the battery like you mentioned. 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 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...

The E-Spec is compatible with any type of RV (towable or a motorhome) as long as you use the included bolt as opposed to the pin and clip.
