Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Bike Rack Review - 2019 Chevrolet Traverse- Video
How's it goin' today This is Ed with etrailer.com, and we're takin' a look at the Sport Rider SE on the back of the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. So, the Sport Rider is actually a really solid e-bike carrier. It has a weight capacity of up to 80 pounds per bike. One thing I think is a con is the fact that, you know, you would have to lift up your bike to get it up to this higher platform on your Traverse. As far as the contact, you have three points of contact on the bike from the carrier, two straps on your wheel cradles, as well as your padded hook. If you have a carbon fiber bike or something that has a nice paint job or, you know, a step through bike or anything like that, you may wanna look towards a wheel-mounted option. more

We're gonna focus on our Chevrolet Traverse here to see if this pairs well with your vehicle and then that will help you out with making the right buying decision too.

That's going to allow us to tilt our bike rack away from our vehicle with our bikes fully loaded. In this position, you'll see we're going to have clearance for our hatch to completely open so that we can get anything in or out of our back hatch that we may need without having to remove our bikes or our bike rack. With that closed up, we can lift straight up on our bike rack until that locks into place.Now, how our bike is secured down. Here at the back, we're going to have a cam-buckle strap. more

We already have a bike installed on the rack, let's go ahead and take a closer look and show off some of the features. The most important feature of this bike rack is the fact that it can tilt away with the bike still attached.

At this point, we can go ahead and lift our rear hatch and, as you can see, we're able to get to the hatch to get whatever we need with plenty of space on either side. Now, we measured our handlebars and from the center to this point here is going to be about 9 inches so, you can see, we have plenty of space between this and the hatch so I don't think you'll have any problems with clearance with other handlebars. Now, to lift it back into its original position just grab it by the bike rack, push up, and there you go. Also, at the end here we have a station that you can use to make repairs to your bike while your on the trail if you need to. more
