500-Pound Steel Motorcycle, Scooter, and Dirt Bike Carrier Hauler Hitch Rack by 7BLACKSMITHS

Brant Lindquist: I know some of the review on this are not very good. Those are mostly because of packaging and the enclosed instructions are horrible. BUT...I did find that it went together relatively easy. Seems to be very strong. I bought it for use with a new E Bike that weighs about 80 lbs. I got it on Black Friday and the purchase price was only 79.99. I have no idea how they can build this and ship it to me for less than $80.00 but I am 100 % satisfied and I would say that this far exceeded my expectations.

Roscoes: This is a pretty solid bike rack, but really, the assembly instructions are almost comical. Why don’t they just forget the fuzzy, out of focus photos, which are of no use whatsoever. Basically, they say take it out of the box and put it together, without any further details except for the fuzzy photos which remind me of all those Bigfoot pictures. Other reviews say the same thing, so I guess we can surmise that this company just doesn’t care what the customer thinks. The box, by the way, looked like it got here after being attacked by a pack of rabid dingos. And nothing about how to strap your bike on. But good product at a good price, and if you look at other companies’ videos, you’ll eventually figure it out.

Clinton Hodges: Directions were so blurry and lacking details you could not put it together following it. Had to make best judgment during installation. I would not purchase again because it puts your cargo at risk for total loss if the carrier fails. This company needs to get a little more pride in its business and respect for its clients.

C. Pilot: I actually received this less than 48 hours after I ordered it, even though Amazon estimated it would take up to 2 weeks to deliver. The box was a little abused in shipping (?), but nothing was damaged other than some very minor black paint removal (two areas less than a centimeter long). The instructions were very basic with very vague, blurry black and white pictures that are relatively useless, but at least the spelling and syntax are correct, which is rarity these days for items sourced like this.

Assembly is fairly easy and rather common sense. All the hardware was included with nothing missing. It's definitely sturdy enough for my use, which is to transport a 100+ lb ebike. Again, I can only vouch for this as I'm using it -- I have no idea if it's good for a dirt bike/motorcycle. Because of the short 4' wheelbase (center of wheel to center of wheel), I had to do an unusual configuration for the bolts that the wheels rest on, but it works and the wheels are deep enough in the frame to use the retaining bolts through the wheels so straps just help keep the bike upright.

Very difficult to beat this solution price wise. Most ebike carriers...

Overall, this is a great product for the money. We have a travel trailer and tow with an SUV, so no way to get a bike in the back. But this project took some thinking and planning. To start, does it work out of the box? Yes..... but with pucker factor! I have a KLX 230, coming in at 312lbs and will also stand on the rack while the bike is installed. That's another 180lbs! nothing bent, nothing broken, but holy cow its sketchy!

Project usage #1 ~ travel trailer.

Anyone with a camper knows that putting a hitch on a camper bumper is a terrible idea! Do people do it? yes, and I would love to know the frequency of their regret! Camper bumpers are 14 or 16 gauge sheet metal and have no strength. The photos above are the rack simply installed with a bolt on 2" receiver hitch. Nothing bent, nothing broke and it held. But the adult, responsible side of me would never ever in a million years drive down the road like that. I am not so worried about the failure coming from the rack but the bumper, one too many bumps...
