Leader Accessories Platform Style Hitch Mount Bike Rack for Two Bikes

sportbikenut: Great bike rack. Easy to assemble, very sturdy and overall, a well built rack for electric bikes. Price point is VERY reasonable. Now I can access a variety of new places and terrain transporting my bike to new scenery. I hope to use it for many years to come.

Rufus: Very happy with the rack. It does take a little assembly but the parts fit well (there was one small section that was tough to align). It is very sturdy on the vehicle and it's a breeze to mount and dismount the bikes. The spacing between bikes is adequate but not immense, so that the two Mt bikes do touch/rub around the seats or bars. (I am usually hauling only one bike, so this is not a major concern.) There are two drawbacks. 1) It is heavy. That adds to the sturdiness, but it is not light when moving and storing. 2) The tang is overly long. This is probably to accommodate all types of vehicles and locations of bumpers. But, it really sticks out from the vehicle. So, when loaded with two bikes, that weight has great leverage and can cause sag. I actually shortened the tang about 4 inches which made a significant improvement. And, when carrying only one bike, I load closest to the vehicle. Overall, for the ease of loading and unloading, and the stability when transporting bike, I do like this rack and I would purchase it again.

John: First off I use this for regular bicycles not E-bikes. So I really can't attest to the weight rating. Assembly was easy and once it's on the vehicle raising and lowering it is very simple and easy. Holds bikes securely, I have read other reviews that said the hooks that slide down to hold the bikes come loose. I have not experienced this problem at all. I did use the included strap just in case but have never had one loosen. I only haul them 20 to 40 miles so oif your on a longer trip maybe check them just in case. Not the heaviest gauge of metal but plenty sturdy and still a manageable weight to lift and attach to vehicle. The velcro straps that go over the wheels are a bit fidgety and kind of a pain but again once I figured out a good way to get them on they do the job and again have never come loose. I use the rack for a salsa gravel bike and a trek commuter so again if you have a heavier E-bike this may not be the best review for you. I would recommend this product for regular bicycles. I'm sure there are better racks out there but not at this price. Happy cycling!!!!

Cal: We carry our two e-bikes with this carrier. It is very sturdy and works well. It has a separate support bar for each bike which provides flexibility when determining where to hook to bike - very easy to adjust and holds each bike firmly. A strap is included for each wheel of both bikes and holds each tire securely in place. A little heavy (thus sturdy). Quick and easy to load and unload each bike. Am impressed with the quality.

Ray MackeRay Macke: I have had it now for 6 months and about 1500 miles of transporting two 60# e-bikes and am very pleased. I use the anti-rattle pin and it holds the rack solidly in place. I bought a cheap ratchet wrench and socket which I store with the rack and I use it to tighten the bolt. Honestly, though, it is only needed for the last turn or so as I can run the bolt in 90% with my fingers. Some have complained about mounting the 34# rack in the receiver but I have no problem. I just leave it in the “folded up” position, grab it by the wheel supports and lift. The receiver tube sticks out horizontally and can be easily slid into the receiver. Trying to attach it in the folded-down position makes it much more difficult.

When I purchased the rack I was concerned about reports of the bike frame clamps slipping and working their way up and allowing the bike to fall off. To date, this has been a non-issue as I have not had any clamp slip. I do make sure they are firmly tightened. But just for insurance I drilled holes above the clamped position and insert a padlock (see photos). Not only does this work as a fail-safe if the clamps would slip but also provides a...

Daniel Bouchard: Support robuste, les courrois de fixation qualité moyenne, les glissières becs de canes qui servent a retenir les vélos sont trop serrées. Il faut un marteau pour les faire monter ou descendre sur la pôle verticale. Probablement qu'ave le temps l'usure des plastics va améliorer le fonctionnement
