The Heavy-Duty Bike Rack Built for RVs, Motorhomes & 5th Wheels
Carries Up to 80 lbs Per Bike ā Heavy E-Bikes Welcome
The RV Rider is rated for two bikes up to 80 lbs each, making it one of the few hitch racks capable of handling the heaviest electric bikes on the market. It also fits tires up to 5" wide and wheelbases between 36" and 60", covering a wide range of bike types and sizes.
Purpose-Built for RVs, Motorhomes & 5th Wheels
Unlike standard hitch racks, the RV Rider is specifically engineered for the demands of Class A, B, and C motorhomes, 5th wheels, and flat-towed vehicles. It features an internally reinforced frame and an external brace to handle the extra stress and vibration that comes with RV travel.
Heavy-Duty Wheel Holders with Ratchet Straps & Rim Protectors
The universal wheel holders are built for heavy loads and fit any tire up to 5" wide, with integrated ratchet straps and rim protectors to keep wheels locked in place without causing damage. Two Small Wheel Adapters are also included for 20" fat tire bikes to prevent derailleur hanger interference.
Locking Frame Grabbers, Security Cable & Keyed-Alike Hitch Pin
The RV Rider comes with locking frame grabbers that attach to your bike's frame or seat tube, an 8-foot security cable, and a keyed-alike hitch pin ā all included in the box. The frame grabbers work for step-through bikes by securing to the seat post, so no separate bike adapter is needed.
Tilts Down for Rear Cargo Access, Folds Up When Not in Use
The rack tilts down so you can reach the back of your RV without unloading your bikes first, then folds flat when you're not riding. An included hitch tightener reduces movement inside the receiver, keeping the rack stable and rattle-free on the road.
UNIVERSAL WHEEL HOLDERS
Loading & unloading your E-bikes has never been easier ā easy on your back and easy on your bike!
Locking frame grabbers
Attach to a bike's frame or seat tube with a diameter range of 1"- 2" for ease of use.
TILTS DOWN FOR EASY ACCESS TO THE BACK OF YOUR RV

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!!!!
Excellent rack. Clear instructions snd easy to assemble
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 āseniorā 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. Thereās 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 itās capable of. Iām glad I found this one. Would recommend for anyone who has E-Bikes or not. Adjustable to many bike sizes. Great purchaseā¦
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 7ā 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.
Iām 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 havenāt tested it out on our 7000 mile long trip yet, but I feel much more optimistic about this than any of the other racks Iāve 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. Iām very pleased with my purchase.
Bought the HR1700 and couldnāt 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 1/2ā and not 2ā. 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! Iāve never had anybody do that kind of Warranty before. Very pleased with my experience and I would buy anything this company sells! Theyāre 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. Itās 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
