Swagman RV and Camper Bike Racks Review - 2015 Toyota 4Runner- Video

Hi, everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Swagman Escapee 2-Bike platform rack and seeing how it fits on our 2015 Toyota 4Runner. This is going to be a platform-style bike rack that holds the bike by our tire. That's gonna make sure we have no frame contact on the bike when we're going down the road, making it a good fit for carbon frame, alternative frame, and e-bikes with a 60-pound weight capacity per bike. Now this one is a little bit more bare bones. You don't have a lot of features like you might see on some other platform racks, like the ability to tilt away with the bikes loaded. more

Swagman Escapee RV 2 Electric Bike Rack Review 2017 Toyota RAV4- Video

Hi, everybody, Cooper here with etrailer, and today, we're going to be looking at the Swagman Escapee on our 2017 Toyota RAV4. The Escapee is going to be a platform-style bike rack, which can hold up to two bikes and does so by holding them by the tires. So it's important to know that, because for our carbon frame bikes and our alternative frame bikes, that means there's going to be no weight on the frame itself, it's actually held all within the tires. The bikes themselves are actually weighted for 60 pounds per bike each, so it will be able to hold those e-bikes as well too. So unfortunately, this bike rack is not a tilt away system, so if we want to gain access into our trunk, we're gonna have to take our bike off first, and we're gonna show you how that process goes right now. So our wheel hook's actually what holds our bike into place, so what we're gonna do first is actually come down to the wheel strap here, press our little lever right here, and it should slide right out, and we're gonna feed that back through the tire. more
