The RV Rider heavy duty ebike 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.

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.
Does this rack come with a ramp?
No, there is no ramp option for the RV Rider.
How many bikes can this rack carry?
It can carry up to 2 bicycles.
How heavy of a bike can I carry?
You can carry bikes up to 80lbs with the RV Rider.
Can I use this on a travel trailer?
No, we do not rate this rack for use on a travel trailer. Trailers vibrate at a specific frequency that fatigues metal very quickly and will result in a rack failure.
My bike is a step thru, do I need to use a Bike Adapter with this rack?
No, the RV Rider is designed to grab the frame in a number of places and there is no need to use a Bike Adapter.
What is this bend on my main beam?
That’s supposed to be there - it’s the help with ground clearance for the back of the rack as one drives in and out of driveways and the like. The rack isn’t bent - it’s designed that way.
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!!!!
Shipping excellent
Instructions. Excellent
Performance excellent
This is the carrier you want for your emb. Two words: sturdy and dependable. Ok. Confidence, too. I've got 2 70 pound bikes behind my Class A. Highly recommend.
Very sturdy construction. Easier to transfer from vehicle to camper than I expected. Comes with multiple accessories to help secure bike to the rack.
Very sturdy & heavy duty. Our E bikes are very heavy so we wish it had a ramp so it would be easier to load. We attached the rack to our Jeep, then attached the jeep to our Motorhome. Traveled down the road without a wobble.
New to e-bikes and bike carriers. Needed one rated for a 5th wheel trailer. On our first trip with it now. Working great. Bikes are solid and I know it is taking a beating mounted to our 5th wheel. Easy to assemble. Light enough for a ‘senior’ to install in receiver.
Absolutely love our new RV Rider E-Bike Rack! Tested it out this past weekend and it worked awesome!
All phases on purchasing the e-bike rack and extender were top notch. Staff on the phone were very helpful. Shipped in a matter of days. Very easy to install.
Very solid E-Bike rack. There’s not very many racks you can use on a 5th wheel due to the bouncing a 5th wheel has while in motion. My son followed me and said this rack was solid. Super easy to use and light weight for what it’s capable of. I’m glad I found this one. Would recommend for anyone who has E-Bikes or not. Adjustable to many bike sizes. Great purchase…
I bought this back in November and just now got it put together. This was a very simple assembly and their instruction were excellent some of the best instructions ive ever seen. Very detailed. Highly recommend this on the assembly. Will update after getting bike on their and adjusted.
Outstanding rack. Very sturdy. Great quality parts assembled with precise fit. Instructions were very clear. Carrying 2-Aipas M-Series e-bikes held securely without excess movement while traveling. Jeep will be used as towed vehicle behind motorhome. Review is delayed somewhat due to need for 2nd order for a 7” hitch extension to eliminate conflict with spare tire. Resorted to email support to obtain appropriate solution. Cudos to Jaime De La Cruz for his prompt response on a Friday with links to the appropriate extension. I chose Hollywood Rack extension because it also has threaded hitch pin for secure connections. Would suggest more clarity in guidance within website documentation specific to vehicle applications, especially with rear-mounted spare tires.
I’m on my fourth rack in three years. This Hollywood rack is just so much more stable and comes with so many of the necessary accessories that also make the rack more stable. I haven’t tested it out on our 7000 mile long trip yet, but I feel much more optimistic about this than any of the other racks I’ve already tried on the back of my long 5th wheel.
Did a lot of looking, comparing and finally pulled the lever on this rack for transporting e-bikes on an RV. Jaime in customer service was great. Product shipped same day and arrived 3 days later. Great packing and very impressed with the quality of material and construction. Everything is beefy without feeling bulky. Weld quality and powder coating, superb. This is one sturdy rack. I’m very pleased with my purchase.
Bought the HR1700 and couldn’t be happier with the quality and performance.
More importantly was the over the top customer service of Rick when informed that my hitch receiver was 2 1/2” and not 2”. He sent out a hitch u bolt that fit within minutes of my conversation. Got it within a day and things are now as they should be.
Bravo! Keep up the good work. Already referred HR to a few friends in need of an e-bike rack.
Thanks again, Rick!
This is very much a heavy duty rack. Everything is very solid and industrial, but well made and fitted. Instructions paired with Videos excellent. Got it built out and test loaded in a few hours by myself. It's heavy to take off and put on the vehicle, but I can do it solo. Glad I bought it.
I contacted Hollywood Racks about a problem with a 2021 rack. They immediately responded, sending me a questionnaire. I completed it the same day I received it, and Rick responded that day. I was told a new rack would be sent next day. When I inquired about upgrading my old rack, I was given a price. I agreed on the price and it was shipped immediately! This entire process took only a week! I paid for the new rack on a Tuesday & had it delivered that Friday. I can't say enough about their service. In addition, we love their racks. Top quality! Thanks Rick & Hollywood Rack!!
The RV rack works perfectly for my two Pedago e-bikes. My friends have Hollywood Racks and I love the way they hold their bikes.
This company is serious about their warranty! I had a small part that got bent and contacted them and they had the new part to me within days. I had a bigger problem that happened and they wanted my entire bike rack! I’ve never had anybody do that kind of Warranty before. Very pleased with my experience and I would buy anything this company sells! They’re very courteous and polite on the phone, even though it was a warranty issue.
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.
Don
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

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.
