Elevate Outdoor BC-4071-2 Platform Hitch Bike Rack, Fits 2 Bikes

It is a great product- I only put one bike on it - travelled to San Diego and back without issues - Has a little shake as it should while driving- easy to put together and install and put bike on- only one bad note the straps that you use to tie tires down is in the area of the muffler so the heat from the exhaust has fringed the nylon straps making them hard and molded to the straps clips. I do not recommend using strap near that. Othersie the bike rack is great 😊 for its price, works well, no issues, when stopping for gas you should always check your load and the bike was sturdy during travel. I would recommend

Sturdy rack. First time I've had a tray style rack. The center support bar is a little tricky to navigate. The rack rocks more than I expected but seems secure. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Easy to put on. You need a wrench to attach to trailer hitch, which may deter theft. You cannot open the back door with it on the hitch. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Under 10 minutes to set it up. Extremely easy to load bikes and tighten down to ensure a tight stable fit. Very little rocking/shaking. Easy to fold up and store in garage. Great price and even worked on 2 Electric bike however, 80%23 max which simply means remove the batteries!

all the parts were there and fit. instructions were in clear english and easy to follow

The product arrived in a timely manner and for the price, it was comparable to racks twice as expensive. It held the bicycles as advertised. I was pleased with the bike carrier and would recommend it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

after taking 30 mintes to assemble, I put it on the car only to find that I couldn't tighten the center piece enough to stop it wobbling. Poor design.

For the price, works great

I am a 73-year-old grandmother who was not riding her bike because the expensive bike rack we had was much too heavy to lift and put on the hitch, and it was very difficult to secure the bikes with the straps. I "googled" "easy bike rack to use" and up popped the Apex platform hitch bike rack. I can easily put it on my SUV by myself and without much effort lift and secure the bikes onto the rack. Even though it seems a bit wobbly when driving, there is no way the bikes or rack can fall off. I do use a couple of bungee cords as an extra precaution. They seem to reduce the wobbly motion.

I bought this rack thinking it would be easier to load and unload. In some ways it is. Less lifting and manuevering over the straps and lugs. Not easier is dealing with center post. It lowers to one side but gets stuck on the tire on the way back up. It's still new so maybe I'll figure that part out. The rack does wobble a decent amount. I think that is a given with this type of rack. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
