No trailer needed with the Joe Hauler. UPDATED!!! Loading your bike alone or with help.

You've commented about certain aspects of the Joe Hauler so I figured I'd cover some concerns about it. In this video I show you how I load it with the help of my Son. My buddy Mark loads his bike on his own and I show you what the tail and brake lights look like on the road. I hope you find this video helpful.

What is a Joe Hauler hitch mounted motorcycle carrier? It's got no wheels or tires, it's not a trailer and you can take your bike with you and still use the entire bed of your truck!!! Depending on your vehicle's hitch load, you can literally just slide it into your hitch and slide the safety pin in and you're ready to load your bike. Whether you're hauling electric bicycles or full baggers, you can use this fantastic product.

You can haul up to 1,000 lbs with no problem at all. Contact Joe Hauler in San Marcos, Ca. via phone or online. All of the contact information in below. Tell them that Motorcycle Monkey sent you.

A Class 3 hitch, even frame mounted, has tongue weight limits of 600-800 lbs depending on the manufacturer of the hitch. PLUS, you have 4 feet of tubing sticking out the back, holding your investment, and acting as a long lever. I'm not sure I understand how this is safe at those weights. I see that it works, but dang, that looks sketchy to me.

After watching this, it's definitely not only easier and safer but also less wear and tear on tow vehicle suspension to just use a quality bike trailer.

Awesome video I was always doubting the capability of this unit but now that I need one I'm absolutely confident that my 630 lb bike will sit there just fine for a couple hundred mile trip.. thank you

[houndsmanone]

I appreciate this update video on the hauler. I have an 09 RK and noticed that you used your RK to demonstrate loading/hauling. Thank you for your comment about those of us who served. One day, I'd like to have a celebratory bike ride made up of veterans on a long ride. That would be a fun ride. Ride safe and have a fine weekend. 👍🏽🤠 7/8/23

So many things can go wrong with this process, all it really needs is a good wheel chock to eliminate 90% of the risk with dumping the bike on the ground or into the tailgate. Not sure how many 1/2 ton trucks can carry 800 lbs. plus with a 2 inch receiver.

[leninguerrero]

If Joe Hauler would add an adjustable wheel chock like most flat towable trailer have it would make loading & strapping your bike down 100 times easier. The wheel chock will hold the bike upright while you strap it down. Just a thought

[rhemaukraine]

You guys need to design an adjustable aluminum bar to brace between the top of tailgate (or coming up from the bumper) to the side of the bike to hold it steady, while attaching the ratchet straps. That would make this an easy 1-man process. And it would greatly simplify the reverse process of taking straps off the bike to remove it from the Hauler at your destination.

I have a sidestand rest that goes in the hauler’s receiver. I don’t see a locking in type front chock working because you have to horse the bike backwards to get it out of the chock. Learning to take your bike for a walk under it’s own power is a useful skill. Start learning on flat ground. Thanks for the video.

Love to see your friend unloads by himself :))

[hdvictoryford]

nice idea, my Deuce weighs just under 500. What I see this is a 2-man job. And it also looks like you def need front to back stabilization on the bike. Tail gates are not cheap and dent easily.

[wskeyson]

Hmmm...Would a lock-chock in the front help secure the bike hands free? Btw, how's things in Santee?

[georgec]

I see that would be good for a light bike. I also have a roadking classic, and I just don't see how that would be sturdy enough for very long

[markhopkinsphoto]

I would like to see an adjustable bar that attaches somehow to the handlebar on one end and the truck bed on the other just in case a strap comes loose, etc. Also I think a deeper wheel chock would help stabilize the bike to make it easier for one person to load.

[AuthenticBiker]

I want to be sure that I am the first one to point out that my impromptu "tire lock strap" was dangling loose in the final shot of my bike on my truck. That was a fifth strap that I keep tightened on the tire and after that shot I put it back on recentered and retightened. It's an unnecessary strap but redundancy is okay)

[maximumwoof]

call me captain obvious, but isn't there something in california law that says your plate has to be displayed when otherwise blocked because of some circumstance that you created such as a bumper mounted behemoth ?

[JavierBlanchardBJJ]

I bought mine today I let Joe know I heard of him from you, I got the JH25

[araneaetvelivolum]

I think Joe should do an upgrade to his hauler.
The optimal mounting point for the straps is the front fork / front fender mounts. This way the front suspension is not compressed and damaged.
The Joe hauler does not allow for that as it is right now as the mounting point on it is on the side which provides no stability.
However, if the mounting points on the Joe hauler are forward and a foot from the center to the sides, it works . Maybe Joe can do a slight modification ...

[No_Srvice]

I have the Black Widow Carrier and it works wonders.

[glennr]

That's way too much weight for the single 2" center tube. I installed 2 additional receivers & 2" support tubes on my Sprinter to support the bike carrier and it is rock-solid. Not sure why anyone would risk their bike with such an undersized setup.

[WhitBoss]

Nice. Yeah, I wouldn't try it solo either. 🙂
