Hey everyone, it's Yvie Angeline here at etrailer, and today we have Yakima OnRamp two-bike rack for electric bikes, and we're gonna take a look at how it fits our 2018 Newmar Ventana motor home. For your Ventana motor home, it may be a little tricky to get bike racks on here because of the clearance. So because of where our hitch receiver is and how long the bike rack is, I actually was not able to put a bike on the inside. That's more because of the handlebars, though, if you had shorter handle bars, let's say for a road bike, you would probably be okay. But here's some measurements for you so that right off of the bat you'll be able to see how much clearance you have. So what we're gonna do is, we're going to measure from our bumper to the tray, and that's gonna be 12 inches, or one foot. more

Now, this is gonna be a excellent choice if you're looking for something that's gonna haul those heavy e-bikes and it's gonna have an arm ramp to make it a lot easier for you. Since this carrier can carry our heavier e-bikes it's gonna be able to hold up to 66 pounds per bike holding two bikes.

Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2 Bike Platform Rack Review - 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz- Video
Hi, Matt with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be talking the Kuat NV Base 2.0 Bike Rack on the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz. Typically, I would recommend a tailgate pad for anyone who has a bed on their vehicle, but the Santa Cruz has a smaller bed and a lot of times, they can have a Tonneau cover built into them. So that's gonna take up a lot of room in your bedding. You won't be able to fit a lot of bikes in there. In that case, I'd recommend a hitch bike rack. more

Swagman XC2 2 Bike Rack Review - 2023 Kia Sportage- Video
Hi, Matt with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be talking about the Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for two bikes on the 2023 Kia Sportage. Now, I'd recommend this to anyone who's kinda getting into biking. This is a very entry-level platform style bike rack, maybe it's just you and a friend who go out, but I'd definitely recommend it to the beginners. The Swagman's gonna be able to hold two bikes, 35 pounds each, so it won't be able to accommodate those heavier e-bikes. And it's gonna have only one tie-down point, and that's gonna be on its frame with this hook here. more

Yakima FullTilt Hitch 5 Bike Racks Review - 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz- Video

Now this is gonna be a good option for you if you're kind of looking for something that's gonna haul a lot more bikes than your typical platform style bike rack that won't take up near as much room. I will say, typically, I would recommend a tailgate pad for hauling your bikes instead. But with how small the bed is on the Santa Cruz, it's not gonna be able to hold a lot of our standard or larger sized bikes. So I think this is gonna be a good fit. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2023 Toyota Highlander- Video
All right, Matt with etrailer, and today, we're gonna be talking about the Hollywood Racks Destination Platform Bike Rack on the 2023 Toyota Highlander. I think this is gonna be a good choice if you're just looking for something that's gonna be an entry level bike rack just get your bikes from point A to point B. It's gonna have the capacity to hold two bikes, 35 pounds each, so unfortunately, it won't be able to accommodate your heavier e-bikes, and it's gonna have three tie-down points, one on each tire, using a strap. And we're gonna have a clamp on the frame. So unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend using any carbon frame bikes, but it will be able to accommodate some other alternative frame bikes, since this kind of slides up and down and can rotate some. If you wanna get into your hatch, you're gonna have to take the bike off, since this doesn't have a tilt-away feature. more

What's nice about it is that it's gonna make two points of contact, one on each tire, so you're gonna be able to haul a lot of carbon frame bikes and alternative frame bikes. And for all four bikes, you can carry up to 40 pounds. Now the nice thing about this rack is it has a tilt-away feature. Now there's a couple pros and cons to it. more

What kind of makes this more versatile is that it's a platform bike rack that can hold up to two bikes, but it can hold bikes up to 60 pounds, so that's gonna be able to accommodate your e-bikes. Another thing that makes it more versatile is where it straps on, it's gonna have two tie-down points, one on the back tire with a strap, and the front one's gonna be a hook that hooks onto your tire. And what's important about that is it's gonna be able to accommodate a lot of different types of bikes, like your carbon frame bikes or a lot of alternative frame bikes. Another nice feature is it's ability to tilt away and to do that is pretty easy. more

Hollywood Racks Destination E 2 Bike Rack Review - 2023 Toyota Highlander- Video
Hi, I'm Matt with etrailer. Today we're gonna be talking about the Hollywood Racks Destination E bike rack on the 2023 Toyota Highlander. I think this is gonna be a solid choice for the Highlander if you're look to haul any heavy E-bikes, and that's because this carrier can carry up to 70 pounds per bike holding up the two of them, and it's gonna have a lot of strap down points. It's gonna have two on the front, one on the back tire, and it's gonna have this very sturdy clamp on our frame. Now unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend using any carbon frame bikes because that clamp might damage the frame some. What I do like about this clamp though, is it can adjust on this center mast so it'll be able to accommodate a lot of different or alternative frames. more

Yakima RidgeBack Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2023 Toyota Highlander- Video
Hi, Matt with etrailer. Today we're gonna be talking about the Yakima RidgeBack bike rack for four bikes on the 2023 Toyota Highlander. Now I think this would be a great value option if you're looking for anything that's gonna be a hanging style that can carry up to four bikes. Especially if you're kind of going out with the family or you're going out with friends, it would be an easy way to kind of take all those bikes with you. Now, I wouldn't recommend taking any bikes that are carbon frame since we're gonna have three points of contact, and those contact points are gonna be on our frame. Now if you have any alternative frame bikes, I'd recommend probably getting a bike adapter bar just so you can adapt to those bikes being on there. more

Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Bike Rack Review - 2018 Ford Explorer- Video
Hi Matt with etrailer. and today we're gonna be talking about the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE bike rack on the 2018 Ford Explorer. Now this is gonna be one of our more heavy duty platform bike racks. It's gonna have the potential to hold up the two bikes up the 80 pounds per bike so that's gonna be able to accommodate your e-bikes. And what's also great about that is 80 pounds is a lot of weight, so compared to other e-bike carriers it's gonna outperform most of them. Since it is able to accommodate 80 pounds per bike, it's also gonna be a little bit more difficult to maneuver around but it's also gonna have three tie-down points, two in the tires, and then one on our main frame. more

One's gonna be on each tire and the third one is gonna be attached to your frame. So since it is making frame contact we don't recommend any carbon frame bikes but since this is adjustable too, it's gonna be great if you wanna try to accommodate a lot of alternative frame bikes. Since this is an entry level bike rack, It doesn't have a tilt away feature but something I do like about how it interacts with the Highlander is we still have a lot of clearance in between the back of our vehicle and our bike. more

This is gonna be a dual wheel mount bike rack. The one thing unique about it is its one touch piston that allows you to open these wheel mounts up and then they ratchet back down. more

Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack Review - 2021 Nissan Rogue- Video
Hey, everybody, Cooper here from etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Hollywood Rack Sport Rider SE on our 2021 Nissan Rogue. What we have here is going to be a platform-style bike rack able to accommodate up to two bikes at an impressive 80 pounds each for their weight rating, which means that our heavier e-bikes are going to be an option for this. Now unfortunately, one of our main points of contact is going to be from the center mass, and it's going to be making that frame contact, which means that our carbon frame bikes unfortunately are not going to be an option for this rack. However, since our hook does have the ability to move up and down this rack pretty freely, that means that we're going to be able to accommodate most alternative frame bikes. Now, this rack does come with a tilt-away feature. more

What we have here is going to be a platform style bike rack able to hold up to two bikes individually rated for 66 pounds each. Unless we're going to be taking it off-roading or putting in our RV, then that drops our weight capacity down to 40. So if we do have it on a normal car, 66 pounds each. more

Notice that we are not making any frame contact on our points, meaning that our carbon frame bikes, as well as our alternative frame bikes, are going to be an option here too. One of the nice features about the MonoRail is that we do have a tilt away feature. more

Kuat Transfer V2 3 Bike Rack Review - 2023 Kia Telluride- Video
Hey everybody, Cooper here from etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Kuat Transfer on our 2023 Kia Telluride. Now the Kuat Transfer is going to be a platform style bike rack able to accommodate up to three bikes with an individual weight capacity of 40 pounds each. We're gonna have two main points of contact, the first being our wheel hook here on our front wheel and a strap here on our back tire. What all that really means together is that unfortunately we're not really going to be able to support the weight of our heavy electric e-bikes but we are going to be able to accommodate for those carbon frame and alternative frame bikes. The Transfer is going to be a more premium style bike rack that's going to come with a tilt away feature. more

Thule Epos 3 Bike Rack Review - 2022 Honda CR-V- Video
Hi, Matt here with etrailer. And today, we're gonna be talking about the Thule Epos 3-Bike Rack on the back of the 2022 Honda CR-V. This is gonna be a versatile platform bike rack. As you can see here, it's capable of carrying carbon frame bikes. On the back tire, it has a strap instead of being on the frame itself, but this center mast is also capable of sliding over to the frame and being attached anywhere, so it's great for mountain bikes as well. It can also carry about 66 pounds per bike, so that's gonna be great for any of your e-bikes, for anything super heavy. more

Yakima FullTilt 5 Bike Rack Review - 2022 Dodge Durango- Video
Hi, Matt here with etrailer, and today we're gonna be talking about the Yakima FullTilt Bike Rack on the back of the 2022 Dodge Durango. One of the main features that sets this hanging style bike rack from the other ones is it has the potential to carry five bikes at one time, each at 40 pounds and a maximum of 150 pounds. And since it makes contact with the bike rack, it's not gonna be compatible with carbon frame bike racks or alternative frame bike racks. And since its weight capacity is only 40 pounds, it will not be compatible with e-bikes either. Now if you do have an alternative style bike or a child's bike, we do have these adapter bars that make them compatible with the hanging frames. You do have these adjustable clips that keep your bikes in place. more

Hollywood Racks Destination 4 Bike Rack Review - 2022 Dodge Durango- Video
Hi Matt here with the etrailer, and today we're gonna be talking about the Hollywood Racks Destination 4 on the back of the 2022 Dodge Durango. This rack is capable of holding four bikes, 35 pounds each, has three straps, one on each tire and one on the frame. This is gonna prevent it from being carbon frame friendly, and it's not gonna be E-bike friendly either. Something we did notice about this bike rack is when we had our bike in this first spot here, the handle bars actually made contact with the back of the windshield, just barely, so we decided to move it on to this second rack here. And this is about a 29 inch handlebar length, so if you do have any bikes that are 29 and longer, I'd keep 'em on the third, the second rack and up. Now if you have any ones that have shorter lengths, I'd say they would fit here. more

Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack Review - 2022 Dodge Durango- Video
Hi Matt here with etrailer, and today we're gonna be talking about the Kuat NV Base on the back of the 2022 Dodge Durango. Since our Kuat NV Base is a premium bike rack, it has the ability to tilt back. So all we'll have to do is press down on this lever and let it tilt back, kind of cradling the back end. Now we'll have access to our back hatch. Now keep in mind that we do have 29" handlebars, and that barely makes clearance. So if you have anything wider, I'd definitely put that on the other rack back here. more
