No sir, not you. This is an excellent bike rack for fat tire bikes and you can easily put on one wheel at a time cutting the bike weight in half basically.
👍Looks to be well-made, and much more user-friendly with the folding features, than the typical bike rack I have on the back of my truck for the grandsons bikes. Nice drone work in the intro also. 👍
Well, I posted a comment here 11 mo ths ago, but was looking at this exact rack today. This morning I ord'd a Rad Rover eBike. I wouldn't the current rack I have with the typical arms to hang regular bikes on. Even though the Rad Rover slightly exceeds the limit of this rack, I'll only be carrying one of them, plus a regular bike. Should do the trick. 👍
Chief, if you get this rack you will love it. Congrats of the Rad Rover. My e-bikes have been one of the best recreational purchases I've ever made. I was riding mine all over the island yesterday.
The drone shot of the Adventure Van in the parking lot made it look like a toy van. Though you went all out and commissioned someone to make a model of it. Did I just give you an idea 💡 🤔
Great video. I had a similar rack (not quite as full featured as yours) that worked well, but I sold it. I just bought a high-dollar Thule platform rack. Hopefully I like it. If not, I'm buying this one.
Came over from Kayak Hacks video and subbed. Love your van (and bikes)! 👍👍 I’m in central Texas. Dream of coming to the Carolinas to catch some bull redfish..I’ve pursued them here for 40 years..nothing like the pull of a bull.🎣 Lookin forwards to checking out your past and future videos. Have a great Sunday! Best wishes to ya!
Welcome aboard! My buddy Kayak Hacks is awesome. Thanks for your nice comments. Head here in October and you will find the Bull Reds literally 100 yards offshore.
thank you so much for this video. Do you still like this rack? Would you purchase it again? I am in the market for one and thinking of this one. Please let me know and again thank you for such a great video.
Awesome! Been looking for one of these for my fat tire eBike. Just an update, with prices increasing on just about everything, the rack is listed at $424.19 on Amazon as of this writing. Still going to buy it tho.
Woops!😂 That's pretty slick that they make them adjustable so it'll work with any size bike. Locks too. That's very handy and smart. Does anything come preassembled anymore? If the adventure wifey can do it, I might could too with my limited upper body strength. Maybe... 😜
That's a good question. I think it will because the hooks that go over the crossbar of the bike will slide up and down and be adjustable. However, I don't know for sure.
I have a Yakima very similar to this for my fat bike. I was watching one of the old videos and down in the comments it said I was getting a sticker from u. Funny, it never showed. I guess that's why I'm part of the 8
No, I offered a sticker and you never took me up on it. I offered because I knew you would soon become a H8ful 8. Offer still stands. Drop me an email from my About Page. Even the River King runs his yak with an AO sticker.
This bike rack states 60 pound limit per bike. The lectric (i have one) is listed at 64 pounds. Any issues with being beyond the weight recommendation?
Not for RV use?? I wonder why? Does anyone have an RV rack for two bikes that they would recommend? BTW... Steve, I checked out your store and believe we could be brothers from different mothers.
We have two Rad Rovers which are the SUVs of EV bikes, Can this rack take the weight, like 75 pounds without the battery! Hollywood racks make one but its super pricey. Will put it on a new Jeep Cherokee.
I can't exactly remember the weight rating. I think it was for just over 60lbs per bike. 75 might be pushing the rating. I've been hauling my 2 bikes a lot and I haven't had any issues. Love the rack.
Dude, I'm really digging that thing. I have just started getting into the biking scene, the touring and mountain biking... but not road biking, those guys that ride on the road are crazy. We have both always loved to ride, and now that the kids are grown, I am hoping to get into more adventurous riding. This rack looks great and looks like it would work for mountain & touring bikes, as well. Is that just a reflector, or does that actually plug in and light up? Once again, I think that you could've stretched it out to that magical 17 minute mark with some slow motion shots! Btw, I caught those drone "follow me" shots at the beginning. Pretty slick!
This dude don't road bike, never. I mostly ride this bike so far in a coastal community and on the beach where it's fairly safe. The reflector is just a reflector. I'm hoping to take it to the mountains and do some riding on forest roads. I seriously was on the verge of going Pro-TH-camr and almost added some clips from cat videos. I upgraded to the Mavic 2 Air and this was my first attempt at follow me. It worked great.
Adventure Outdoors Yeah. I don’t do roads, except the ones in my neighborhood. I have a two mile lap that I am riding several times per day to get into shape. You and your wife need to go to Cades Cove on a Wednesday. The loop road is closed to cars on Wednesdays through September ( I think, but double check that..). I went with a buddy a couple of weeks ago and had a blast. Been trying to get back, ever since. It is an 11 mile loop. The drone cottage was sick. I’m digging it! Riding in the mountains??? I went today. I had a GREAT time for 7-3/4 miles of the 8 miles that we rode. Go check out the video on my channel. It is titled “Over the Bars”.... You’ll get a kick out of it. 🤦🏻♂️😂
Adventure Outdoors Thanks. Yeah, I am fine. Just really battered and bruised. I just got too cocky and thought that I could take on that man-made obstacle. Then I chickened out when I realized that I had too much speed to take it from the direction that I was going...but it was too late. 🤷🏻♂️😂
Hello. Question. I have a similar dodge van with a spare tire mounted to back door. Wondering if I would have enough space between hitch-rack, and spare tire for two bikes? Thanks for sharing
It could be real "iffy" if it would work ok with tire. Might not be enough space. However, you can buy hitch extenders from places like Harbor Freight and I'm confident it would work fine. This is a great rack and I'm sure the extender would work if you needed it.
KAC Overdrive Bike Rack on Amazon, linktw.in/ZKfrMo
Girly man approved! Just what I needed.
BOOM!
"superior upper body strength"....Good stuff!
Looks like they thought of everything on that rack. I now know everything about it. You should be getting your sponsorship offer any day now
Only call I got so far is from a company that makes camping toilets.
Thanks so much good video. Since my stroke don’t have much strength in my right arm. Guess I’m that girely man you spoke about. Anyway great video.

Great video, and drone shots. Very nice bike rack!
Coming from TH-cam's e-bike expert that's pretty high praise.
Nice, informative, if I have a pick up, can I drop the tailgate after I remove bike?
Yes you can, no problem. If you use the tilt feature you might be able to tilt the bike down and also drop the tailgate.
The drone shot of the Adventure Van in the parking lot made it look like a toy van. Though you went all out and commissioned someone to make a model of it.
Did I just give you an idea 💡 🤔
I can really see an Adventure Van action toy with real headlights that work and the rooftop AC sprays pepper spray. Gr8 idea H8ful.
Drone footage to boot!
Lou! My man! How you been brother?
@@myadventureoutdoors busy bro...trying to set some hooks

I hope yours works good for you. This one is perfect for me and these bikes.

did you see those muscles ? :) superior !
I don't want to brag but...(sniffs like Barney Fife)
thank you so much for this video. Do you still like this rack? Would you purchase it again? I am in the market for one and thinking of this one. Please let me know and again thank you for such a great video.
Absolutely. I still use it all the time. Never had any problems. You can buy with confidence.
Thanks for the detailed review and video. Dropped a sub and used your supplied Amazon link. Cheers
Awesome, thank you!
Very nice, but is it "tactical" and/or rated for "overlanding"?
I think it would work overlanding, I don't see a reason it wouldn't. It sits up pretty high from the back of a vehicle.

You don't seem to have any trouble hoisting giant catfish into your boat.
@@myadventureoutdoors We will see when I finally catch that 100lb+ blue cat.
The alpha rack.
It does look bad ass on the Adventure Van.
What saddle and post did you get for your XP?
The answer is here, th-cam.com/video/igz9nX9IzTc/w-d-xo.html
Will it work with a xp step through version?
That's a good question. I think it will because the hooks that go over the crossbar of the bike will slide up and down and be adjustable. However, I don't know for sure.
Oh sheet, I just ordered one for my step through. How did you make out
Great review. May I ask what brand are those seats ? TY
Thanks. I made a video about the seats right here th-cam.com/video/igz9nX9IzTc/w-d-xo.html

@@myadventureoutdoors I'll be out your way tis fall, I'll get it then
Another great video. While towing, what about weather? Do you cover them?
I have towed them in the rain with no problem, however I keep a couple garbage bags to go around the handlebars to protect the electronics if needed.
LMAO the blooper up front was a great idea. Nobody wants to wait until the end to laugh. Looks like it left a hefty dent?
Believe me, there were plenty of other bloopers I could have put in. Dent was already there. Thanks Adam.

No issues whatsoever. This is an awesome bike rack.

I have no idea why it wouldn't work on an RV. If it has a tow hitch, I can't see a reason it wouldn't work.

The Cades Cove trip might be something I need to schedule. I saw your wreck. I did a full body shake and quiver when I saw it. Hope you are ok.

This thing wobbles way too much..
You can fix that wobble with a hitch clamp, about $20 on Amazon. I got one and it solves the problem.
Don't try and put it on your wife you know you are a girly man 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha, you saw right through it Ken!
