In this video I assemble and use my Hollywood Racks Sportrider SE for the first time. The rack works great for my RadRover and RadCity ST and I didn't need the step-thru adapter.
Cargo Bag - Fits RadCity very well

Bought the same rack. Very satisfied. Had the same situation with the step thru. Came to the same conclusion about bracing them. I did add a strap around the vertical bar higher up to further reduce sway. It’s recommended that you remove the battery in transit as two of them weigh better than 15 lbs. Good job....Chris 🇨🇦

My son bought one after watching your review. We put the surface604 with its 4.5 inch wide tires And Aventon’s level step through. He also bought that bar you mentioned. We went from southern New Mexico all the way to San Diego with absolutely no problems. Thanks for your review.

You are so fortunate to live close to such an awesome trail system. I researched the Red Rock Trail system and learned that it has 125 miles of trails with plans for a total of 750 miles of trails. It is great to see people getting outside to enjoy nature.

Nice, just bought one of these for my two RAD bikes. But I got the cross-bars as both our bikes are "step-thru" models. BTW...Wendy's seat is too low. She would benefit from a more straightened leg at the bottom of her pedal stroke. (less strain on her knees, quad muscles and also back, shoulders and arms on long rides). But she seems to prefer standing flat-footed while stopped and still seated on the bike. Tippy toes is better or hop forward off the bike seat when stationary. Just an FYI.

I'm originally from Birmingham living in Atlanta now but will be traveling with my bike across multiple state lines. My desire is to avoid any issues with law enforcement.

@DirtBikingwithDonnie
@DirtBikingwithDonnie 3 жыл бұрын
The majority that movement comes from the pivot point between the two main sections. You can kind of see that at 0:37 when I put them together. That pivot point allows the rack to fold up and tilt down. I've had this one for about 15 months now and still loving it. No issues whatsoever. Thanks for watching!

Of course they would if I removed the bed cover and unloaded my tools and other items that normally stay there. Even if I didn't have a bed cover and wasn't using that space for other items, loading, unloading and securing bikes in the back of the truck is considerably more difficult than on a carrier. These are all considerations I had for purchasing a bike carrier. Thanks for watching.
