I have a Specialized E bike and being solo, I had to figure out how to get the bike on my Kuat rack. Luckily, you can buy a ramp that attaches to the rack and it makes it a whole lot easier. I believe you can buy a ramp for the Thule racks as well.
I bought a Thule Easy Fold XT 2. It was one of a very few that were rated to carry our two e bikes on our toad (Jeep JK). The carrier works great but hitch tensor (the part you tighten to make sure there is no wobble) was junk. I almost lost our bikes twice because the threads on the...
Update 09/15/2022: So I had a piece of angle iron welded (1 by 2) to the bottom/back side of the 4x4 bumper. And this was welded to the I frame on both ends. In addition I had a 4x4 1/4 inch piece of metal welded on the top and front side of the bumper (this made my bumper crush proof). Next I...
The Kuat NV 2.0 which I have also has an integrated, keyed cable lock for each bike, so you can lock your bike to the rack, which can be locked to your hitch, to prevent theft if you are stopping somewhere for a bite or overnight.
At this point it probably seems like I work for Kuat but I...
Otterpods ! my two cents would the below recommendation
An affordable bike RV approved swagman rack for 4 bikes. While this rack is also a hitch bike rack but it’s different from Swagman's Traveler XC2 since the bikes hang in cradles secured by straps. Overall if you have to travel with more...
...to fit 2 mountain bikes and 2 road bikes in the garage space, out of the elements and prying eyes while we travel. I’m looking at floor mount bikeracks this week. The supplied tie down anchor points are nice but the floor is very slippery so those are only good for strapping down Rubbermaid...
I just purchased a 2017 Shamrock Roo 233s. The rear bumper seems very sturdy and currently has a spare tire mount attached with u bolts. Does anyone have experience mounting anything else on the bumper, such as a bike rack or generator rack?
I know in the past a lot of TTs had flimsy frames...
...& type of travel trailer has a 30A service.
I also learned that the overall length or exterior length measurements are from the rear bumper to the hitch, and do NOT include rear bikeracks, spare tires, etc. This kicked the Surveyor off of my list, which was unfortunate as i liked that trailer.
Well it’s been a while for this thread and I am now seriously contemplating a pair of E bikes, so I thought I’d revive it and see if there are any new ideas, lessons learned, regrets, recommendations, etc. I’ll probably buy in the next week or so and may take advantage of the black friday thing...
Selling my 2016 Chevy Spark. 21,000 miles, 5 speed transmission. Road master base plate with 6000lb Falcon AllTerrain non binding tow bar. Trailer hitch for bike rack, Two months old diehard battery. $12,000
Our bikes are around 60lbs (Specialized Tero) but they enable me to take longer rides and still get back to base in reasonably good shape without a struggle. I search for camping areas near trails and take as many 10-20miles rides as possible. The real limiting thing for me is that my hands get...
I saw this post on a Facebook group discussion about putting a bike rack on a travel trailer bumper and though it made a nice segue from this discussion.
My bike is a Dyna Street Bob. No bags, no cowling, just a basic down and dirty six speed with a 103. Weighs about 700 pounds. Traveled up and down the east coast and regularly through the mountains of West Virginia. To take it with me on the coach, I would put it on a rack with hydraulic or...
About about 2 weeks ago, we had an unfortunate incident with our Kuat NV2.0 bike rack.
I was taking the kids out to do some light trail riding and had my daughter’s, son’s and my bike strapped in, ratcheted down and secured to the bike rack.
About 20 minutes into the drive, we suddenly head a...
We had our Cherokee wired for a toad. The wiring harness they used had an additional 4 pin connector for the light bar I added to the bike rack.
We used the stay and play braking system so I could control the level of surge before the jeep brakes come on. It isn’t going to help stop 38k much...
What size bike? You know the question I have may not fit this thread but you kind of brought it up. I have seen most city buses with bikeracks on front. Why don't I see any lets say 250cc bikes on the front of a MH?
I will have to try some of these load & ramp techniques. I’m 80 years old and have neuropathy that has limited my strength & mobility. I know 60 lb is out of my range. I think if I can get the bike close to 40 lb & use the one wheel at a time lift it will probably work for a while. Hopefully...
They are 750 watt folding fat tire bikes from BPM Imports. We used to put them in the back of our suv. We now use a Thule Easyfold bike rack on the back of the motorhome. I use a Roadmaster 10” drop/rise dual receiver adapter for the bike rack and our tow bar. We love the setup and the bikes.
