The RV Rider bike rack for RV's, motorhomes, and fifth wheels carries 2 E-Bikes (up to 80 lbs. each) on the back of an RV Motorhome, a 5th wheel, or a flat towed vehicle. Special features include universal heavy-duty wheel holders for heavy load carrying capacity. These wheel holders can fit any tire up to 5" wide and include a ratchet wheel strap. Locking frame grabbers secure the bikes in place. The frame grabbers can attach to a bike's frame or seat tube with a diameter range of 1"- 2", therefore Bike Adapters are not needed and should not be used. A locking cable and keyed alike hitch pin secure the bikes to the rack and the rack to the vehicle. The bike rack folds up when not in use and can tilt down for rear cargo access.
A double-walled receiver tube handles the extra weight of the electric bikes. An included hitch tightener reduces motion inside the hitch (the receiver hitch must have a flange). A minimum class 3 trailer hitch is required to use this bike rack.
This bike rack is not compatible with bumper pull, travel trailers or bumper mounted hitch receivers.

This bike rack is perfect for our situation. We mounted it on our Jeep Wrangler and towed the Jeep behind our RV this past weekend. Both e-bikes were steady and secure. While it takes some time to set it up correctly the first time, it's a snap to install, and it is very easy to load and unload our bikes. Well worth the cost!!!!
RV Rider E-Bike Rack
Very well built. Secures 71 pound E bikes very easily.
I haven't unpacked this bike rack yet, but I wanted to say that the customer service with Hollywood Racks was incredible. I bought a different rack based on a miscommunication on whether that rack could be on the front of my truck. After a trip with that rack showed that it shouldn't be on the front of my rig, I contacted Hollywood Racks, asked for help, and they offered to trade my rack for one that could be front mounted. I had to pay to ship the old rack back (which about made up the difference in cost between my lower priced original rack and the new one), but the new rack showed up quickly and I appreciate Hollywood Racks making the effort to fix my problem.
My husband and I put it together on our motorhome. We have not had a chance to use it because we wont be taking a rv trip until later. It appears to be everything that they promised.
RV Rider E-Bike Rack
Received rack very fast. Instructions for building were very good. Put bikes on and made adjustments. Bikes felt very solid on this rv rider rack from Hollywood
I did a lot of research before buying my new Hollywood RV bike rack, could not be happier. It’s a quality bike rack that is easy to use, really solid no movement going down the road. I also like the security of the included locks as we had a e-bike stolen off the back of our 5th wheel during a lunch stop with our old bike rack. I will definitely refer to friends and people I meet at RV Resorts.

The whole process, from ordering to assembly, was easy. The rack was well packaged for delivery and assembly instructions made the process simple. And the finished product is a solid rack. Very happy with my purchase.
RV Rider E-Bike Rack
Nice bike rack.
Love the bike rack, very well built, easy to put the bikes on, and very secure. I would highly recommend this rack.
Sturdy, easy to assemble, company provides everything needed to assemble, fits on the back of our Nissan Pathfinder and Class C RV. Buy it!!
Just put it together and it seems dry well made. Will be taking a trip next week and giving it a try.
I’ve not traveled yet with our new Hollywood E-Bike rack, however we have installed on our motor home and test fitted our bikes and our very pleased with the quality and rugged construction. We look forward to traveling in very near future and hope the rack performs as advertised.
Perfect replacement carrier for our RadRunner Plus bikes.
Traveled just once so far, for about an hour. Really pleased with the rigidity of the unit and how secure my e-bikes were.
Order was filled promptly and arrived within a few days. Delivery instructions were thorough and complete. Rack is well designed & built. Return on hitch extender was accepted without question. Would highly recommend this product to anyone.
So far we really love the bike rack very heavy duty and sturdy I have no complaints !!
We bought this rack to fit a 2" class III hitch on the FRONT of our GMC Sierra. We pull a boat so there is nowhere else to mount our E-bikes. This is the only rack I was able to find on line that is actually rated for front use. It is extremely sturdy and well built. The bikes are rock solid. Search google for a Holllywood Racks coupon code, we got 20% off and free shipping with ours!
Great Rack went together very easy. We have the HR1500 which we are giving to the kids and upgraded to this unit. As usual shipping was fast and all parts were included.
Easy to assemble. Mounts securely to hitch with no wobble. Added some reflective conspicuity tape to avoid having people drive into the all black rack.
I’ve owned at least 4 bike racks, none of which come anywhere close to the quality and structural integrity of the RV Rider. The rack assembly was fairly straightforward and easy enough for a 70 year old to install. The rack is rock solid when riding on the back of our Class C motor home. I highly recommend Hollywood Racks.
Shipping was fast. The rack is build well and held up great on our first trip. Thanks for a great rack
This rack is really well made, sturdy, and reliable.
Well built and equipped for e-bikes. Must have if you want to transport them!
Great E-Bike Rack
Love the RV Rider e-bike carrier. It was packaged very secure to prevent damage during shipping. Instructions for assembly were very good. Adjusted to fit our step through e-bikes very well. It feels very secure and solid. I did purchase the 2.5 inch adapter for my 1 ton truck class 5 hitch. Made a very solid mount for my truck. Overall I believe it is an excellent e-bike carrier. Let the road trips begin!!
We bought the RV bike rack and it is solid. Best product we have bought in a long time.
Easy install.
Bikes were very sturdy on rack which I liked. However e bikes are pretty heavy so a ramp would be very helpful especially for next to the Rv.
I can’t begin to explain how impressed I am with build quality and the engineering that went into this RV bike rack.
We received the RV Rack and it was super easy to put together and extremely easy to use. We absolutely love the Rack!
RV RIDER FAQs
Why Can't This Bike Rack Be Used on Travel Trailers?
Travel trailers have a slight side to side motion that's very low frequency (1 to 1-1/2 times per second) that fatigues the steel from which the racks are manufactured. The fatigue first happens at a molecular level, but eventually (several thousands of cycles later) a visible crack will appear. Once the crack has formed, it will enlarge, finally to the point where the rack drops off the vehicle and the rack (and bikes) impact the roadway. This is also a dangerous situation for whoever may be following the trailer on the highway. We have seen 100+ incidents where the consumers/end user has not taken this advice and suffered disastrous results. We've even had phone calls from consumers who said they read that advice (do not use on a trailer) and ignored it, only to discover a tragic end result. So, please don't do it.
Do You Need a Bike Adapter for Step-through Bikes On This Bike Rack?
No, you would not need a bike adapter for the RV Rider. It has frame grabbers that allow you to attach the bike from the seat post, eliminating the need for a bike adapter.
Can I Use the RV Rider On My Truck or SUV?
Yes, you can as long as your vehicle has a class 3, 2” hitch.
Can This Bike Rack Be Mounted On a Front Hitch?
Yes, this is the only bike rack we make that can be mounted on a class 3, 2” front hitch.
