WEIZE Hitch Bike Rack, Wobble Free Smart Tilting Folding Bicycle Car Racks for Standard, Fat Tire and Electric Bike, 2-Bike 160 lbs Capacity, 2-inch Receiver

This is one of those things that you hope will be good but exceedes your expectations. The rack design is very well thought out and packaging included multiple zip bags for each grouping of parts. All items were packaged so that there would be no paint damage in shipping. Assembly was easy and the carrier seems infinately adjustable for any bike. Included was a great hitch pin lock to prevent theft plus a good quality nylon safety strap an velcro to secure each wheel.I set up the carrier for my 40 lb Ebike and can easily tilt it back to access my truck tailgate. Unfortunately the design of my Honda Ridgeline hitch won't allow use of the anti rattle hardware included with the carrier.One reviewer complained about the plastic knobs breaking. The guy must be a gorilla and tightened the knobs way more than necessary. Nothing is going to loosen or fall off if a reasonable amount of torque is applied.In conclusion I highly recommend this product as the quality exceeds its price point.

This rack would be good at any price. At the current cost it is fantastic.I have owned a lot of different bike racks from Thule, Yakima, Saris and others. This is as sturdy as any and more versatile than most. Adjustments are quick and easy. The wheel trays should fit any size tire.Construction is almost entirely steel, very heavy gauge confidence inspiring, steel. Plastic is only used as a shim to reduce friction on the adjustable parts and for the contact knobs.The delivered package was deceptively small. That was probably good as larger items are more likely to be damaged in shipment. Everything was very will packed and protected.It took about 45 minutes to assemble and fit the rack. The instructions were above average. All the parts were nicely packaged in small groups. The instructions listed the parts bag number for each item, but only one bag had the corresponding number. Fortunately. the way the individual pieces were packaged made it very easy to figure out what nut and bolt went where. No mistakes were made. For me that's unusual.Assembly tools were not provided but for the most part all required were very standard. The only challenge was that the bolt that attached the rack to the hitch plate required a huge allen wrench. I had one. Those with a lessor tool selection might not. This is a very important piece and needs to be properly tightened.I purchased the version that folds up when not in use and includes the hitch stabilizer. The latter can be purchased anywhere. The feature where the rack can fold up when not in use is very handy. Doing so significantly reduces how far the rack hangs out behind the car.Bikes mounted on the rack stay very stable even at Interstate speeds.Adjusting the spacing of the wheel holders for different bikes is harder than on some of the premium, full tray, racks. It is still easy and not a concern at all unless a persnickety person is constantly using the rack to haul different size bikes.Speaking of different size bikes, this rack should fit them all. I have one bike with a wheelbase that exceeded the capacity of my previous rack. (Despite claims to the contrary) This one accommodated it with ample room to spare. It will also handle short wheelbase recumbent bikes. It will probably not handle a tandem bike or lwb recumbent. A clwb recumbents might fit. Measure first.I have not tried it with a step through frame bike but think it will work for many without the need to use one of those sketchy looking top tube adapter bars. The trick will be to adjust the wheel trays so that the tube clamp has enough clearance to reach over the downtube.One warning that applies to all hitch and most other rear end accessories. Anytime you back up and there is something hanging off the rear of your car the parking assist system will think it is too close and go into alarm. This is true whether loaded or empty. More sophisticated assistance systems may compensate. The back up assist so helpful that I just let it alarm and use the camera. (Unless my wife is along, then there is a way to silence it.)What do you get from a premium rack that this one lacks? For me not much, but others may feel differently.There is no integrated feature to lock bikes to the rack. I just use a cable. It is not as convenient as the single key systems that come on premium racks, but I am skeptical of their security anyway and generally supplement with a cable or U Lock, depending on circumstances.Some may not like that there is a vertical post in the center with a hook that needs to be moved down to clamp over part of the frame. Some prefer racks where the bike is held in place only by the wheels. I am happy with this system. The third point of contact is higher, holding the bike more stable. It works with fenders, front racks and more sizes of tires. There is no ramp to roll the bike up onto the wheel tray as is the case with some super premium racks. This would only be an issue for people with very heavy bikes or very bad backs.The strap to secure the wheels in the trays is just a piece of Velcro. So far it has worked flawlessly and would be very easy to replace if it every wore out. Personally, I favor the Yakima rachet straps and have fleetingly considered trying to retrofit something like that, but it just hasn't seemed important. (And I care a lot about all my bikes.)I cannot imagine this rack breaking or being stolen off the car. (It comes with a lock that secures the rack to the hitch.) If I was rearended and had to replace it, I would immediately order this again.I recommend this rack enthusiastically to all my friends except those that are brand snobs and would cringe at anything without a prestigious name being attached to their vehicle.For me, this is a simple, fundamentally solid and very straightforward device. It might just be the Model T of bike racks. This is a long review, but I feel it was worth the effort for such a good value.T

I chose this after a long search for a reasonably priced hitch platform rack that could hold e-bikes. I have limited road experience so far, so time will tell However, it seems very sturdy and has the features I was looking for - reasonable weight, stability, tilt back for hatch access, and fold up when not in use on the car. It was a fairly easy assembly process, although the instructions a very basic and lacking in some detail e.g. nowhere does it say what size Allen wrench to use (#8 and #6). A bit of initial confusion on fitting the platform holders to the crossbar. But easy enough to sort out. All the holes lined up with a bit of jiggling. The steel and other materials seem substantial. The 2” hitch insert has a built in anti-wobble knob that tightens the connection very well, and a lock. The rack does not wobble when loaded - very solid. Stated weight bearing is 160 lbs though I don’t need that. I do have one design quibble - they should have made it easier to remove/fold the upright to facilitate folding the carrier. Other than that, I really like this rack!
