    RVing with E-Bikes

    I have taken several 5 day 350 mile old style bike trips with all the gear packed on. It was great fun in my younger years and nice to do with my sons and their cousins. Now at 59 I'll take my DelSol E-Bike every time. My wife and I travel with ours on a nice rack and we have a great time...

    Alert WARNING: Using a bike cover while on a bike rack while driving can KILL someone

    Thanks for the reminders Neal! I just got my new e-bike and a new rack (1up). I made sure it was rated for being behind a motorhome and so far have not had any issues. 1up states can't be used with bikes that have fenders but as long as they are not overly long fenders, it's fine. They have...

    Alert WARNING: Using a bike cover while on a bike rack while driving can KILL someone

    Little off-topic. I had a bike rack that connected to the bumper on my Montana 5er and probably 20,000 miles with two bikes on it without a problem. A friend bought an Arctic Fox which better built 5er than my Montana and lost his bumper in less than 100 miles. Now I do recommend to use an...

    Towing behind 5th wheel

    those bumpers are usually not made to hold more than 100 lbs. That's barely enough for a spare tire and nothing more (except the sewage hose lol) Even a bike rack is a big NO-NO

    Strengthen and replace hitch receiver on rear of trailer

    We have a 2024 Passport that has a 1.5-inch receiver on the back that has a listed capacity of 300 pounds. We want to carry two 56-pound bikes. We have a Kuat rack that is rated for the weight and rated for use with an RV, but it requires a 2.5-inch receiver. We tried a 1.5 to 2.0 adapter...

    Freedom Express 192RBS Bumper Weight Limit

    Thanks for your response! I believe the rack and two bikes will weigh a total of maybe 150 to 170 pounds. The rack is very sturdy with a locking mechanism that locks into the 2 inch receiver that keeps the whole rack from bouncing around. I know the 4x4 bumper is pretty thin but I would think...

    Hello, new To RVing

    Welcome to RVF, @Tkroper; glad you've joined us here. As for the best way to tow a Mini Cooper and a dirt bike, two thoughts come to mind; an enclosed trailer that both will fit in and a coach-mounted rack for the dirt bike and a tow setup on the Mini Cooper. I think the MC can be towed...

    Freedom Express 192RBS Bumper Weight Limit

    Thanks for your reply! I had a 4 x 2 piece of angle iron welded to the underside length of the bumper and welded to to the I beams. Solid as a rock with no worries.

    Where were you with your NEWMAR today?

    Looks like you have electric bikes. They are turned to the camera so I cannot determine make / model. As we are in that mode, can I ask a couple questions. First of all, what kind are they...secondly, are you happy with them. Lastly, do you use a conventional bike rack? Thanks in advance...

    Tip IPersonal name sign

    Had a redwood name sign made at the Tampa show a few years ago and never really displayed it much because the massive "stick in the ground" mounting arm is rather cumbersome and on hard ground, unusable. Looking for an easier way to display it, I came up with this solution. Stainless 1/4 20...

    Alert WARNING: Using a bike cover while on a bike rack while driving can KILL someone

    I use the Yakima Longhaul. Very sturdy. Since I am a security freak, I use the through the frame lock on the bike rack, plus the two shells are secured with a bycycle Chan that runs through the wheel , throughh the frame and is secured to the vertical part of the bike rack. The cover is tied on...

    Bicycle Storage

    I did the dual rack for two whole trips. We had a Car Tow Dolly, and mounting in the hitch of the toad would have been a problem. For us (me especially ) the Tow Dolly thing was a bust. Sold it after the second trip and purchased a Jeep to flat tow. There are multiple ways to carry bikes on...

    Hundreds of E bike companies??????

    I’m looking at the spec on the lectric base model not the .2. It says about 46 lb with battery. Battery wt 7 lb. 39 lb w/o battery. That might be manageable. Anyone have this model? Is it useable or just too light weight. Getting a bike on & off the rack is my big problem.

    E-Bike update?

    Ed If you’ve looked and considering the Lectric XL Lite, I think you can pull the trigger and not be disappointed. This is a very solid built little machine. It folds to a really neat little package that can almost get lost in a big rig storage bay (big “almost”). I would have already bought...

    Spec chassis hitches with dual receivers

    lots of folks out there carry bikes and flat tow. Ideally, it would be nice to not have to purchase a dual hitch receiver to split the single receiver into two receivers, one for the bike rack and the other for the tow bar. Just spec the chassis for two, 2” receivers, stacked a few inches apart...

    Alert WARNING: Using a bike cover while on a bike rack while driving can KILL someone

    I have a Yakima Four-Timer and carry it in the truck hitch with no issues, but I’ve not tried using a cover for this reason as well as the fact that they tend to block visibility of your toads tail lights, which can otherwise usually be observed through the bike wheels. Still, it’s a hassle and...

    Hydraulic lift for electric tricycles

    Are you sure they are 80lbs? That's very heavy, typically they are around 40-50 lbs. You need to pay very careful attention to bike rack weight limits as they are typically capped off at around 50 lbs per bike.
