Description
Overview
The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider is a heavy-duty hitch-mounted rack built for modern e-bikes, fat-tire bikes, and compatible e-trikes (with proper adapter). Designed for strength, versatility, and user convenience — it transports two bikes (or one bike + trike with adapter) safely while handling wide tires, extended wheelbases, and heavy loads common to electric and cargo bikes.
Capacity & Compatibility
- Bikes Supported: Up to 2 bikes (or bike + trike with compatible adapter)
- Max Bike Weight (per slot): 80 lb
- Total Load Capacity: 160 lb
- Tire / Wheel Compatibility: Supports tires up to 5″ wide — ideal for fat-tire e-bikes or cargo bikes
- Wheelbase Limit: 36″ minimum to 60″ maximum — accommodates standard and many long-wheelbase e-bikes/cargo bikes
Rack & Hitch Specifications
- Hitch Requirement: 2″ hitch receiver only (do NOT use 1¼″-to-2″ adapters when loaded)
- Construction: Heavy-duty steel frame, reinforced trays and mounting components, built for long-term stability under heavy loads
- Wheel Trays & Frame Hooks: Adjustable wheel holders and arm-over top-tube hooks for stable mounting. Works with standard, step-thru (with adapter), and many frame types. Includes locking mechanisms for security
- Fold & Tilt Design: Rack folds flat when empty; with bikes mounted, the tilting feature allows rear vehicle access (hatch/trunk) without removing bikes
- Security Features: Anti-wobble hitch tightener and locking hitch pin help reduce rack movement and deter theft when parked or traveling
Why Sport Rider is Ideal for e-Bikes & e-Trikes
- Handles heavy e-bikes — with 80 lb per-bike capacity and 5″ tire width support, it’s compatible with most electric, fat, and cargo bikes
- Accommodates long-wheelbase bikes — suitable for many cargo-e-bikes or long-tail builds
- Durable build and secure mounting — strong frame, adjustable trays, and locking features offer confidence when hauling expensive e-bikes or trikes
- Convenient for everyday use — fold and tilt mechanisms make storage and vehicle access easier than rigid racks
- Versatile — works with standard 2-wheel e-bikes, plus with adapter can support recumbents, trikes, or non-standard frames for flexible transport options
Ideal Use Cases
- Owners of heavy e-bikes, fat-tire bikes, or cargo bikes transporting one or two bikes
- Riders wanting a rack that folds for storage but still supports heavy loads and wide tires
- People with mixed bike fleets — standard bikes, e-bikes, or bikes with non-standard geometry (step-thru, cargo, recumbent) using adapter kits
- Travelers and RV-owners needing a strong, stable rack for long-distance transport of heavy bikes or e-bikes
- Commuters, weekend riders, or families needing flexible bike transport for daily use, trips, or adventures
