    Freedom Express 192RBS Bumper Weight Limit

    ...my bumper. Here is the answer that I got back from him: The bumper and frame are not designed for installing aftermarket items such as bike racks, cargo racks, etc. Issues arising from installation of such items become the installer's responsibility. Can anyone tell me what your experience...

    Question Bike Rack Recommendation

    Not to throw a wrench into your thought process, but I just discovered that Vertical Bike Racks are also a thing. Take a look a the Yakima Hangout 4, Velicorax and Altaracks. I think these are perfect going going between the toad and MH.

    Bike rack options?

    I looked at that one, but my 2 bikes combined were over the capacity limit. But thank you, @widdershins !

    Bike rack options?

    I use a receiver-type rack that came with my old D250 Dodge. It's not pretty but it works great. The truck has 2" receivers front and rear, so if I'm towing the bikes go up front. The rack is built out of heavy gauge steel with good welds so I don't worry about it breaking. Up until now it's...

    Bike rack recommendation for long-hauling four bikes

    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...

    Question Will This Setup Work?

    I'd be scared to attempt this. Sounds like he knows what he's doing, haha.

    Freedom Express 192RBS Bumper Weight Limit

    Do not mount anything to the bumper. I don’t even think I could stand on it without bending it. in my opinion, You should be able to mount a two bike rack to the frame without a problem. Just a count for the extra weight when you’re loading your trailer so you don’t put too much weight on the...

    E-Bike update?

    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...

    Hundreds of E bike companies??????

    I was reading about e-bike conversion kits and saw a way to resurrect the old Specialized Hard Rock that's collecting dust in my garage. It's a 35 lbs. bike (with front and rear racks and full water bottles) and is built like a tank. I used it for recreational riding and long-distance touring...

    Darn Rich, I've owned cars that didn't cost that much. :)

    Question Looking for Feedback on These Travel Trailers

    ...& 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 bike racks, spare tires, etc. This kicked the Surveyor off of my list, which was unfortunate as i liked that trailer.

    Bicycle Storage

    Here's my setup. Not sure how it would work with a rear radiator. It would be better if it was made to shift away allowing to check fluids, etc. My Thule 2 bike rack locks the bikes and a threaded bolt with lock on it's end secures the rack.

    Help

    OK.......I interpret your rant as wanting a mid-size fifth wheel, 1/2 ton towable camper, with room for a motorcycle. Just how big of a bike? You mentioned a lift, so that sounds like maybe a mid-size bike, say 500-650 CC's? Either way, I think you're asking for too much. The weight of the...

    FYI Kuat Warranty: MapNerd Tested, MapNerd Approved

    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...

    Hundreds of E bike companies??????

    Thanks for the reply. That would have been a good option however, I gave our aluminum Trec bikes to our son a couple of years ago. I’m starting with blank sheet. Appreciate it.

    Bike Rack Between MH and Toad

    I have a similar problem except I have four bikes to carry. A 29” and 24” mountain bike, the wife’s beach cruiser and an 18” kids bike. Right now we have a Yakima Four Timer platform bike rack on the back of the truck which works fine but it would be nice to be able to put all of those bikes on...

    Bike rack options?

    I am in the process of putting together the bits to flat tow the Canyon and for now I will just carry the bike in the bed of the truck. The wife has not committed to wanting to buy an e-bike for her to ride so for now this should suffice. If we get her a bike I will buy a rack to go on either...

    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.

    Bumper Stability

    Well as I view things, the 200 lbs are not the only thing to consider. Most bike racks I've seen while attached to the bumper actually place a moment of arm aft of the bumper. So there is the twisting moment to be considered. If the weight is 200 lbs and the moment applied is 12" aft of the...

    E-Bike update?

    Thanks for the report on the Lectric XL Lite, 10thtp. I’ve been looking at that bike for a couple months trying to decide whether to pull the trigger on it. Please post updates, when appropriate. And thanks to you, Inerstate, on the info on the dirt bike carrier from Harbor Freight. My wife...
