Just installed this bike rack a half an hour ago. This thing is heavy duty and has no problem holding my aventon aventure with extra weight in the bags! Total weight of my fat tire 4 inch ×26 inch e-bike is 100 lbs. Buy it now before you can't get it !!!

I have a Hollywood bike Rack $299. $15 at Home Depot I purchased 36 inch angle iron cut down to 17 inches each that I inserted inside the square tubing The rack is rated for 80 lbs per bike but inserting angle iron inside the square tubing which you cannot see will increase the weight limit substantially. Looking at your video you get what you pay for and the Hollywood is substantially beefier at the tilt point.

Nice video, but I just bought this Fultyme RV 1300 hitch mount bike rack and I have bolts on my bottom mount where the arms can come upwards to fold it away. Yours appears to have pins everywhere. That looks easier to me than these darn bolts with the lock nuts on them that don't allow the bolts to be locked in place really rather wierd. Don't think I can attach a photo or I would.

I just bought one of these racks and it seems to be heavy and well built except for one thing. My tire cradles tilt downward quite a bit. It seems that where the square portion of the cradle slides over the square tubing it is a little larger than it needs to be and as a consequence even when tightened it is able to twist on the square tubing. It probably is not enough to be of concern however I continue to worry about it. Wondering if anyone else has noticed this? I was able to adjust my rack so that the securing hooks clamp down over the seats. We have two step through fat tire Ecotric Dolphins.

I just bought new straps. I also had to put a bolt where it hinges to keep it from flopping around. Plus straps to keep the wheel holders from sagging, and one from the hitch to the top brass eyelet for added stability. Those wheel holders sag no matter how tight I get them. I'd send a picture if I could post it here. The rack works with some modifying.

Small price to pay tho for saving hundreds over a high end using, can make some straps from the double-sided Velcro from harbor freight, as for the security issues, many of which can be fixed with a few bolts and a drill and 1 hour of time and make it far more secure

If the Hollywood appears to be be built better & beefier then why is the weight rating lower than this one? Is this one rated with no margin of safety whereas the Hollywood is rated with a safety margin factored in? If I have a 80 lb. bike and an 85 lb. bike (with batteries removed) would I be better off (safety-wise) with the Fultyme or surpassing the rating of the Hollywood by 5 lbs. ? (Opinion only...ignoring liability issues)

Thanks Harry! On the Hollywood Racks the hooks are designed with this in mind - they are two different shape of hooks with a different extension if you will. On the Northern Tool one you would need to shift one of the bikes either left or right to have it clamp to a different spot (lower/higher) on the frame. Hope that helps!

I would not tryst these rebranded bike racks to do what they say. I know they say 200lbs but I bet they are not industry standard tested or UL rated. Where as Hollywood or 1UP might say 350lbs but I bet they are rated for 500lbs to deal with stresses like bumps that will spike the weight applied well beyond 200lbs. Just my 2 cents but spend the money on a rack that will stand behind and have a brand they care about tarnishing when they are wrong. They will care more about ensuring they are properly stress tested and engineered. Just my two cents though as a guy that just bought the 1up super duty with the add on for $870USD, they are not cheap..

How much does the Fultyme bike rack itself weigh? If it's beefy enough to hold 200 pounds, it must weigh a substantial amount too.

@@robh063 that’s because any rack that is on the back of an RV needs to withstand a lot more force with all the bouncing around and only RV approved racks should be used in that application. Having had my bicycles twist off a bumper on my rig was a hard lesson learned. I will only use RV approved racks on the back of a camper. Even better is putting the bike rack in the front of a pick up truck. Much less force and you can keep an eye on them too.

The way this threads on to the hitch the person would definitely need some tools. Probably more hassle then it would be worth to some people. You could mount a motion alarm on it.

Hi Samuel, most of what I've seen the weight limits are even lower. The KAC Overdrive apparently can hold 60lbs per bike with their 4 rack hitch mounted bike rack: amzn.to/3jLgJ8R

Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with RVs to know if this will work. If you have a 2 inch hitch that works the same as ones found on vehicles and is rated for the weight then perhaps it can work.

I was very nervous putting my brand new beach cruiser on this rack. kzbin.infoUgkxG6JIgwJhur8_Rg8UeQ3EmePzi_wSncL8 But after reading many reviews I decided to get this one and take a chance. When arrived it was very simple to adjust and put together. I also added spike tape over the metal hooks before securing and tightening the straps, and no scratches. I also purchased the top bar made by the same company so that my cruiser sits straight on the rack without having to turn upside down. Extra bungee cords are used to secure the front wheel from flapping and even piece of mind knowing your bike is secure. Definitely recommend...

I don't believe so. Most of the more well built racks capable of holding the weight of ebikes require a 2" hitch. Not to say you won't find a 1.25" option.
