Can a Cruiser Bike be Loaded on the Hollywood Racks Express Trunk Mount Bike Rack

Question:

Hello, I own the HRE3 and have a 2013 Nissan Maxima. I tried loading my womens cruiser bike and a regular size bike, but I got very frustrated because it didnt seem to fit. My question is this compatible for a cruiser bike since the bar is curved and doesnt have a straight bar going across? Thanks

For your cruiser bike and most bikes with alternative frames you will need to use a bike adapter bar such as # 64005 to be able to load the bike on a bike rack with 2 arms such as # HRE3. This will allow you to mount the bike to the rack. The adapter creates an artificial horizontal top tube so it fits on the rack. They are very easy to use. You will also need to make sure that your Cruiser ways 35 pounds or less. I have linked a video showing how it works.
