Outstanding video! I have a Dodge 2500 4x4 truck that is 2" lifted. I have purchased a 4" lower hitch adapter that when used with this Hollywood rack it should raise the hitch height by 2". I am not about to load bikes in the bed it's just too high and work. I wil keep the bed available for lots of beer, ice, tailgate partys, camping gear etc. Your technique for loading/unloading bikes makes it alot easier. I am buying this rack for my 2 fat tire electric bikes one Rad Rover and Lectric XP2.0. Nice thing about bikes and rack is they are made in the USA. Thank you so much for the video.

Soo glad I didn't by the famous named roll up rack!!!! The tire loop design is much better and secure. Came with a good lock cable and sinch strap. Tops tops tops.

I installed a rigid LED light bar on ours (the ones for truck tailgates) and plug it into our trailer lights connection. It really helps visibility on the highway for braking & turning alerting the person behind you since these fat tire eBikes block the normal rear taillights. We took our RadRunnera on the Hollywood from CO to WA to OR and back with 0 issues. They are as good as it gets!

0:48 Given that Force = mass * acceleration, and the acceleration is coming from turning, bumps on the road, etc., wouldn't the force just be proportional to the mass, not the mass squared ? In any case, your point about the necessity of having a good sturdy rack for ebikes is still perfectly valid.

Shred, I got a C in calculus but I figured out how to beef up my Hollywood Rack. $15 piece of angle iron cut to 17 inches each and inserted into each end of the square tubing doubled the thickness of the wall on two sides. You seem pretty smart with math. If my 2 bike rack was rated for 80 lbs for each bike what is the rating now inserting angle iron onto the square tubing? Logically, if two sides of the square tubing doubled in thickness I would guess it went from 80 lbs to 120 lbs per bike but there is probably a mathematical equation that will tell me how much more weight I can add to my Hollywood 2 bike rack. Note: I had to grind a little off the long edges of the angle iron to make it a snug fit. I also painted the angle iron after inserting it. If I was to do it over I would have painted it before inserting. The best part you can’t see the angle iron and the added weight is not that noticeable.

The rack is Hollywood Racks Sport Rider for Electric Bikes HR-1500-2” Hitch Rack, 2 Bike. Seems to be sold out everywhere. Its only one that has the hitch anti wobble and is strictly for 2 inch only heads. E trailer has it under different name but when I went to order they said it was out of stock till Sept 10 HL84FR is the stock number on this model. Its worth the wait from all I see out there to hold 80 lbs bike each.

Really well done video. I was kind of taken aback by the height of the rack - glad you pointed out that most hitch receivers (including mine) are lower. I was not aware that Hollywood was including two "small wheel adapters" with this rack - the instruction manual that I found online said the adapters would need to be purchased separately. I have one of these racks on order. I knew as soon as I purchased ebikes for my wife and I that we would need a way to transport them. This is the first video I've seen of yours - instant subscriber. 😉👍

How do those big tire holding loops do with a skinnier commuter type tire like a 27.5" x 2.4"? I can see that the outer endpoint of the tire would nestle into the curved end of the loop but on the inner end will the tire be too loose on that wide flat section? Will the steering always stay straight with just one side held captive? I was considering the Hollywood Destination E rack instead to better hold the bikes in place but do you think that would be worth the extra $$ ?

Any concern that you are covering up a large portion of your brake lights? I have a Hollywood rack and use it for my road bike, skinny wheels and tires, as well as my tail lights are much higher than yours.

The top center brake light remains unobstructed. There is definitely a risk of getting a ticket for an obstructed license plate, but so many people use racks like this around here, I have a hard time believing tickets like that are being given out.

Very well done! Do you happen to know, I have a RAD City ST for my wife but I ride a very light road bike with very narrow wheels. Should I be considering narrow wheel hubs for my bike, if so who sells them to fit a Hollywood Sport Rider rack?

Great video! I’m a single lady with a 73 pound bike. Is there any way to attach some sort of ramp?

I have not seen any way of attaching a ramp that looks safe to me.

can you tilt the rack away from the car with the bike on it to open the hatch? And is the thing that moves on the strap on the small rad bike resting between two spokes?

Yes to both questions, though the tilt feature requires a lot of strength with bikes in place.

Good video. Picked one up the other day. What's the best way to store the rack when not in use?

I use a heavy duty hook and hang it from basically the ceiling in my garage.

You lift a somewhat heavy bike onto the rack, but you seem to be a pretty strong guy. How about those not as strong? Does Hollywood Racks make or accommodate a ramp such as can be used on Kuat or Thule?

The mechanism to tighten the hitch from wobbling doesn't work on my Hollywood rack

You have to make sure the hitch pin goes through the loop. If you don’t catch the hitch pin with the loop, it won’t work.
