I just installed the few things they require. It is machined unbelievable. Holes were perfectly aligned. And this thing is so sturdy. Glad I spent the extra money on one that I don't have to worry about.

Probably the best e-bike rack video I have ever watched. Great job Kevin. I am going to get one. Thanks

Great review. Picking one up today. I am a senior and have step thru bikes. Tired of lifting 62 lb bikes. Thanks for instruction.

One of the best reviews I have seen. Two bikes with fenders, one being a full step through. Excellent.

Thanks for the review I just got it and you made it easy for me to put on my SUV

Great review! We just started carrying these Hollywood racks at our local Bike Shoppe. Thank you so much for the info.

I've had mine for a few months now. The ramp is a game changer for my 60 pound Specialized ebike. This rack replaced my Hollywood Sport Rider rack. I"ve got the rack on my 2020 Ford Ranger pickup. Previously, it was on a Ford Escape. The few inches in added height made it harder to lift the ebike onto the pickup.

Great review. so helpful. so easy to follow for new bike riders. KEVIN the best

Great video and you made up my mind as to what I want to buy. I have been looking at all the other models you mentioned and this one does seem the best choice.

Great information, well-presented. Thanks for this bid. Impressive rack.

nice review. subbed and liked.

Well put together video 📹 👏

Nice review. It’s easy to load a big heavy bike on your rack by getting up close and parallel to the rack, holding the back brake, rock the bike back into a “wheelie”, swing the front tire on then roll it forward until the back tire rolls on, and cinch her down. All without a ramp. I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone demonstrate this in all the reviews I’ve seen. I’ll have to make a video myself with my Hollywood TRS rack that’s on my car. I put two heavy e bikes on there no problem, then drive 80 down the highway with them.

My girlfriend just got an e-bike. I still ride a road bike. We are in our 60's and are ready (and privileged) to enjoy an active retirement lifestyle. Our old rack (when she had a road bike that was mostly collecting dust) would not have been suitable for the additional weight. We spent about 3 weeks going to various bike shops and looking online for our biggest 'bang for the buck.' There were a few 'must haves.' Hers: It had to have a ramp to make loading/unloading easy for her when she rides without me. It had to be possible for her to lift and install it into the hitch receiver by herself. Mine: It had to have integrated locks for both the bikes and the hitch, not requiring additional purchases, and it had to hold the bikes in a way that gave me confidence that our bikes would arrive damage free on any trip. My road bike is worth more than her e-bike so the latter was critical to me. After looking at racks from Thule, Kuat, 1-Up, and others, we pulled the trigger on this one. It arrived at 8:30 in the morning and I had it put together and installed before she even noticed I was in the garage. It took, at most, 1 hour. Although I had watched Hollywood's installation video prior to receiving it, I may not have even needed it and never looked at the instructions that came with it. This rack should be simple enough for anyone with a modicum of mechanical ability to install. Although we haven't used it yet - we only got it yesterday - I am confident that this rack checks all the boxes. It is sturdy, well thought out, with a much better ramp than most of its competitors (although it has to be carried separately!) and, best of all, affordable within the competitive space it occupies. If I sound like a shill for Hollywood, I'm not. Nobody paid me or offered me anything to write this. I took the time because I'm not easy to impress and, given how expensive these things are to begin with, I'm damn impressed.

I bought this rack (the Destination E) to hopefully carry my 2 Lectric XPremiums. When I got home with it I noticed the wheelbase limit of 50 inches. Hmm. Measured axle to axle in the bikes and they were 51 inches! Tried anyway but it just wouldn't work out. Returned it and got the Hollywood Sport Rack and couldn't be happier. It works with up to a 60 inch wheelbase. Great rack and $200 cheaper! No ramp and I had to buy a couple crossbars but it works great! Good video

Nicely done video! Are you still happy with the rack? What is the clearance between the tailgate and the first back as I have a full size rear spare tire mount?

Quality

Kevin how do I gain access to my trunk with no bike on and rack is folded up. Thanks

You may be able to" just lift" a 50 pound bike instead of using the ramp for the second bike, but I cant. Bought the rack to load heavy bikes.

What made you decide on this rack, vs the 1Up?? Do you know if Hollywood has an add on feature for an additional eBike? Great review, thank you & cheers

This rack is my top choice at the moment. Do you think loading it solo would be difficult as a short person? I was hoping once it was loaded it would hold the wheels to help with the clamp.

Thanks for the thorough review. I was looking at the rack that rad has on their website but just saw this one on Hollywoods site. Do you think this is worth the extra $200 vs the sports riders? Even though the weight capacity is 10lbs less per bike.

Would those clamps work with 2 RadRover 6+ Step-thrus? I can't tell if the arm would reach back to the seat post of the outside bike. I have the older Hollywood rack and this newer version with the ramp would definitely be a better option for me.

Wait, so is it possible to have 2 of the step through rad rovers on this rack? Will the bar fit the down tube on the second bike that way?

My bikes weigh 73 lb without the battery..?

Will the hitch pin fit in the other way??

Anyone ever add rear running/turn signal lights?

I was very nervous putting my brand new beach cruiser on this rack. kzfaq.infoUgkxG6JIgwJhur8_Rg8UeQ3EmePzi_wSncL8 But after reading many reviews I decided to get this one and take a chance. When arrived it was very simple to adjust and put together. I also added spike tape over the metal hooks before securing and tightening the straps, and no scratches. I also purchased the top bar made by the same company so that my cruiser sits straight on the rack without having to turn upside down. Extra bungee cords are used to secure the front wheel from flapping and even piece of mind knowing your bike is secure. Definitely recommend...

Wow Kyle I'm so very sorry to hear about your neurological stuff you have going on right now and I will be keeping you and your wife as well as your employees in my thoughts and prayers .as I wish you a a full recovery God speed . I've been watching you for a few years now and have purchased the upgrade motor controller and display for my rad from you a couple of years back and all are doing great. And thank you for providing such a stellar bikes , products etc , but great costumer service to match . I love and appreciate you all for that. I know you all as being a top notch embassador for the E bike world and industries as a whole , and I have learned so much about these type of e bikes from you and not only that , but you also inspire me to want to join in my area here and be part of it . So I'm looking forward to making that happen . So congrats on your over 100,000 viewers and receiving your very much deserved award and recognition for your hard work and innovation podcast and all you guys are doing there in grass valley .

No trailer or fifth wheel use.

Would have been super valuable to me if your wife was the one loading the bikes - we are in our 60’s, and I am currently recovering from an L-1 compression fracture from lifting my Mini Folding Step Thru out of the plastic tote that was recommended by so many. Now we need a rack with a ramp (!) that a woman can load 2 bikes onto. This one seems to fit the bill, but can’t find a video anywhere of a woman putting it on the vehicle and then loading 2 bikes on. Great video otherwise :) …

This thing is overpriced... at $700, nothing is quick release or easy to do like on most other bike racks (the high end ones, which start at around that $600-700 mark.
