Usage Guidelines

This bike rack is not designed for use with e-bikes. Hitch-mounted racks and carriers are not recommended for tow-behind trailers, including 5th wheel and camping trailers, motorhomes, or RVs. Never exceed the maximum tongue rating of your trailer hitch and be mindful of your vehicle’s suspension limits. Some vehicles may require air shocks or heavier springs to prevent sagging. Carriers should not be used on hitches less than 12" from the ground to the bottom of the hitch without a riser adapter. The carrier must be empty before tilting down for rear vehicle access.
