    Bike rack options?

    I've seen a couple pickups with bikes standing up on/in the bed. They could be hand made but question if there are there bike racks for use in the bed of pickups?

    I carry them on my toad or in my trailer depending on what else goes. On the toad I have a bile cover that completely encases the bikes

    RVing with E-Bikes

    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...

    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.

    ...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...

    RVing with E-Bikes

    We also look for trails near our travels. There are so many that we would have had to pass up had we not invested in our e bikes. Many that we would have passed up even before our e bikes now are easy to ride, One of the most amazing was San Gabriel Canyon Road AKA Rt 39 not far from San...

    Cross Trail Xtreme

    ...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 bike racks 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...

    Freedom Express 192RBS Bumper Weight Limit

    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...

    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...

    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...

    RVing with E-Bikes

    E-bikes are going to be heavier than than a normal bicycle due to the additional weight of the battery , motors and beefing up of the frame and other components to support that. The best way to carry them as a result, is going to be a either a heavy duty hitch mounted platform rack, or if you...

    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.

    From everything I've read the front axle of a class A is usually the one that is over loaded and at max capacity, mostly due to the weight of the generator.. If that's true then I think hanging another 300-400 lbs off the front bumper might be the last thing you'd want to do. And remember the...

    Hundreds of E bike companies??????

    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.

    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...

    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 bike racks on front. Why don't I see any lets say 250cc bikes on the front of a MH?

    Bike rack options?

    I bought a rack like that used on CL for $40 for parts for the contraption Im building. It will be a little ugly, but it will carry the weight, be very lockable and have additional brake/tail lights and turn signals. Hopefully that will cover all the bases, accept appearance of course. I’d have...

    Freedom Express 192RBS Bumper Weight Limit

    OK. A couple of things. One of the concerns is tong weight. Add 150 to the back will change the tong weight considerably. If you do this for bikes the wind pattern won't change much but other items may. It will be important to verify tong weight and make sure 10% of trailer weight is still on...

    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...
