Hollywood Racks’ Latest Bike Rack is Built to Carry Electric Bikes on Your RV
With their pedal-assisted power and comfortable rides, it’s easy to understand why electric bikes have become so popular with RVers in recent years. Not only are ebikes a convenient way to explore a new destination, they provide a good form of exercise while traveling, too. But thanks to their large battery packs and electric drive systems, transporting these heavy bikes isn’t always easy. Thankfully, Hollywood Racks has created a new bike rack designed specifically with RVs in mind.

The RV Rider E-Bike Rack is the heavy-duty solution that RVers have been searching for. The hitch-mounted rack can accommodate two bikes weighing up to 80 pounds each, and fits nicely on the back of a motorhome, fifth wheel, or flat-towed vehicle. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with bumper-pull travel trailers or bumper-mounted hitch receivers.
Equipped with reinforced extra heavy duty wheel holders and receiver tube, the RV Rider is built to handle the extra weight of an ebike. The rack can securely hold bikes with tires up to 5” in width, ensuring they stay firmly in place even while traveling at highway speeds. Locking frame grabbers add additional support by attaching directly to the bike’s frame or seat tube, eliminating the need for bike adapters altogether.

As if that wasn’t enough, a locking cable and keyed-alike hitch pin ensures the bike stays firmly attached to the rack and the rack remains connected to the RV. When not in use, the RV Rider’s built-in folding mechanism allows it to fold up and out of the way. The rack can also tilt away from the vehicle, making it easier to access a trunk or cargo area.

The RV Rider E-Bike Rack ships with a hitch tightener that reduces movement inside the hitch while in transit and a small wheel adapter designed for fat tire bikes with 20” tires. The rack is covered by a limited lifetime warranty and is available directly from Hollywood Racks for $599.99. RV.com readers can take 20% off that price by using the promo code RVING20 at checkout.
