Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack Review - 2023 Lexus UX 250h- Video

Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack Review - 2023 Lexus UX 250h

How's it going neighbors, this is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination E-bike carrier on our 2023 Lexus UX 250 H. The Destination E is a good rack, in my opinion, just based on the fact that it has a solid weight rating right at 70 pounds and you have a frame mounted system, so you're gonna have two points of contact on your front wheel right here and here for your strap and one single bar that's holding you in the center. And that is adjustable for varying styles of frame, so that makes it a lot more flexible, and then you just have the single strap on the rear. Frame mounted bikes generally are gonna work better if you don't mind contact to the frame of your bike. If you have a carbon fiber frame or unconventional like a step through, you may want to look at some other options. To tilt the Destination E, we're gonna take the gray knob, and twist it and pull it down. more

Now, with this style of platform rack, you're gonna be holding the bike by the tires here on either end. This is really nice because it's gonna make it accept a really wide variety of bikes. We've got our mountain bike on here today and it fits perfectly fine, but any sort of alternative frame bike, where you might not be able to get a hook on the frame or anything like that, or maybe a carbon frame bike where you don't wanna damage it, it's gonna work great on this, because, again, our point of contact is the tire right here on either side. Now, in addition to that, you get these adjustment points on the wheel cradles. So you can adjust this bolt right here down to fit a smaller size wheel. more

Thule  Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2006 Lexus RX 330

Today on our 2006 Lexus RX330 we're test fitting the Thule Vertex hanging-style 4-bike rack, part number TH9029XT. This bike rack is designed to work with 1-1/4" and 2" hitches. The first thing we'll do is take a look at our bike and how it's strapped to the rack. We've got two cradles holding that bike down and then three straps, two on our frame here and one is our anti-sway strap in the back. To release those we're just going to pull down and lift up. We always want to save that anti-sway strap for last, and then when we're loading up our bike, do that first. We'll just take our bike off, set it off to the side. more

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2006 Lexus RX 330

Today on our 2006 Lexus RX, we're test fitting the Thule Vertex Swing-Away Style 4-Bike Rack, part number TH9031XT. The first feature I want to show you is the swing-away. To do so, we'll pull out this T pin here, undo this knob in the back, pull up on the T pin, and pull the bike rack away. When it's about 90 degrees, we turn the rack itself until this bottom T pin is inserted in the hole down here, and we'll keep swinging it out until the holes line up on this bottom pin. Now, as you can see that allows us full access into that back hatch of our vehicle, so we can get anything in or out that we may need. With our hatch closed up, we'll go ahead and take a few measurements. Our closest point to the vehicle is going to be our wheel here. more
