Take a look at the platform. You can see nothing too busy going on on it which I do like, makes it nice and simple for the back of our RV. Take a look, we have these adjustable cradles which makes it pretty versatile for a whole bunch of different systems. All we're going to do, loosen that we can slide this up and down this track. There is going to be a little screw there to prevent us from going all the way off.

Now that cradle itself, isn't going to be anything too crazy big. As you can see, pretty much a standard size for those 18c standard bikes, winding out just a little bit for our mountain. We are going to be kind of cut here on the outermost design here about three and a half inches to the outermost cradle there. So going to be doing a good job for most of our standard two midsize tires. Now, if you starting it at some fat bike tires, I might recommend checking out the Swagman Current.

It is going to be per pretty much similar to this guy. Can have a bit of a lower weight capacity, this guy sit about 70 pounds per bike. That Swagman Current puts you about 60, however, you are getting a bit of a wider cradle. However, if we don't have needs for wider cradle I definitely recommend with this guy as you are getting that 70 pound capacity per bike. Talking about the kind of bikes we get up on here.

A. yes we can and get these big heavy electric bikes as we probably guess from the title and that weight capacity. But with that, let's make sure we are moving those battery couplings from our e-bikes. Those are going to add weight and just damage to our bike if they we're to come loosen as we travel. So it's just way better to pop them off, keep them in the vehicle and that way it's one less headache to worry about. You will notice that we do have a ratcheting arm mount here which is giving us frame contact on our bikes. So if you're looking away of getting carbon frame bikes to the trails, unfortunately this isn't going to be an option as this will end up deteriorating our carbon frames. However, it is going to be pretty versatile for a host of different kind of bikes. If you have any women's bikes, step-through bikes or even kiddos bikes if we want to put them on here definitely going to be nice that we can actually get this adjusted. You can see this track goes pretty low so even about right here with those bikes going to be doing a pretty good job of actually clamping onto them with this arm system which is also extremely easy to use. Now, our bikes just being out on there right now by these little plastic strips. On the inside you'll notice that we do have these little kind of rubber pads. What's nice about these as this presses down on our wheel rims, it's going to be protecting our wheel rims but also preventing any kind of damage to our wheels. As I said, but also nice little shock absorption there too. You see just a little bit can go a long way for anything on our bike needs. So that's going to be nice that we can easily take this off. So let's go ahead and do that for now just to pop this bike off, see how quick and easy that is. Go ahead and sling those guys. And one thing I like about them too, these straps being so long is they are, you just gently rest on the other side and they kind of get out the way. A lot of times you're fighting those straps so it's just one headache that's been alleviated. To take these ratcheting arm systems off, though we just got to pop them like so. Now normally these will be able to be locked here, as you can see, utilizing their locking cores. Now those will be a keyed-alike to each other but also to our hitch lock that is on

Can this rack work for a walk thru bike? Where on the bike do you place the movable hooks?
