I was wondering how the Yaris brakes would perform with all that extra weight but it's really no different than having four passengers in the car What would be cool is to put another bike on the front so you could take a friend ridding with you!
Ok people are telling me I can’t put my dirtbike on the back of my Toyota RAV4… and you had success putting it on a Yaris🤔. Makes me want to rethink and give it a try on my Toyota RAV4
I had airbags installed on my half ton pickup. They are awesome. When you don’t have weight in the back you can air them down so you car stays level and not all stink bugged.
Good set up. All my buddies have these $20k Moto vans or sprinters. I’m thinking of getting a Ford Escape Hybrid and mounting a MC carrier hitch and calling it a day. Good used escape hybrid is only $6k and I can still sleep in it. Saves me a ton of money 💴.
Yep, I do 33mpg this way..
I like that clamp/hold-down for the bike. I was just telling my wife that I needed to make something like that. So sick of dealing with the ratchet straps when I haul my bike.
Works great man, I love it. No failures yet, remeber youtube videos are delayed 2weeks in the past lots of things happened since than
you are, Mr Romaniac, crazily crafty!!! :)
Insane to genius is usually one step
Good work! Clean job i like the set up
thanks
I love the design, and it's like a Add-A-Bike carrier, but with more support. As someone that owns an Add-A-Bike carrier, your pegs fold in and the bike can most certainly go forward if/when they do...
Love the hold down idea…simple and effective. I’m thinking about buying a hitch and fabricating up so extra supports for something similar to what you did. I’m not too concerned about the weight on the suspension because that’s probably not even the equivalent of having 3 grown 200lb dudes sitting in the back seat. Especially with fuel prices these days I drive my pickup as little as possible
I have over 30k miles on that setup problems
You are my kinda guy. Great job!!
Thanks
Thanks for the great info. I know what to do now so I can rack up my Ebike when it gets here. Cheers.
Awesome
Great job!
That looks like my Tahoe with two full size bikes on the back rack I scrape that hitch all the time !! I do like your safety strap idea !
it works, ive done a 100 mile trip on it works great. a bit dissapointed with the mpg i gor 33 mpg, only same as the trailer at 75 mph , but at least i dont have to worry about the trailer bearings
Well done man looks awesome
we will see how it holds !
Great idea, and gas efficient! If I didn't have a "gas guzzling earth destroying truck" I would consider this myself. Where I live is surrounded by parkways and no trailers aloud. If I used a trailer, i would have to take the 18 wheeler truck scenic route and add 30 mins for every trip.
thats why i did it , so i eliminate the trailer !
If everyone would record videos the way you did, I wouldnt spend 10 years of my life on yt but like 4. Clicked the 1K like ;]
Thanks
Nice job I have the one for Harbor freight I’ve had it for five years now works great 👍🏻 😎
Cool. Yeah I wanted to buy one you cant find it for my car
I think I could fit my bike into my Toyota Matrix but this is something I’m whiling to build, maybe I’ll shoot a similar video. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Awesome
nice work dude. thats awesome
Thanks
Nice one,i have a truck but i have to put the canopy back on and i need to make a hitch too,but i like the clamp over the bike,i might lend that idea off you Vegas RoManiac;)
yeah that clamp works great !
This is awesome.
great work ! stay safe.
Trying, but somehow I always gtt myself in trouble
Wow thanks for the video, you are right TH-cam is so perfect to explore ans try new stuffs, from your idea I will think about one behind my futur crv2006 thanks again
You can do it!
you do really good work man! i would love to see more details on your metal working.
well , this was the most complex work ive ever done. time will tell if it holds !
@@vegasromaniac so has it held ???
@@prodbybabygod7411 it did man more the 10k miles on it.. Zero problems... I impressed myself this time.
@@vegasromaniac that’s all the proof I need to build one myself. You just made my riding days 10x easier!! Thanks man
Nice!
Lol. I just realized someone already brought up my suggestion. Well, I agree with them then lol
Nice job👍
thanks
Nice. When I first started watching the video I thought you were building a roof rack for your bike.
Haha, next video
You should have air bags installed so when the bike goes on...you can pump air into the air bags and it will lift the back end as high as u want
Vegas please tell me honestly... when you where child you watching magiver right? 😉😉 Keep it up...just crazy the US 🙌🙌
Haha, yep and loved the guy..
great!
Bravo legendo!!
Thanks
I really loved your mentality 🤘 love from India
Awesome, I knew someday somebody somewhere Will appreciate my insanity
Nice harborfreight would be jealous this is great
Thanks I see you found the video..
Picking up a 07 scion tc car tomorrow.. first car I’ve had in over 10 years. Have had nothing but trucks.. i think im going to weld up something like this for my trials bike. Doing these state events up here in utah eats up gas money! And I dont see gas prices going down anytime soon.. this might be the new norm 😑
Ima put that carriee on my 1970 ford maverick😂
awsome 😎
Right ?
We're talking 40 or 50 bucks so this is a brilliant solution, well done man!
Yep and a lot of sweat
Going to be doing the same for my Chevy Cruze! She’ll be hauling my yzf426 everywhere!
Awesome let us know how it comes out
@@vegasromaniac It’ll be between this and fabbing up a small aluminum trailer, anything I do make I’ll make sure to upload something!
@@legodude19999 i just subscribed , looking forward to the whatever you come up with
Very nice
oh Nice You can do that in the US. Here in my place (Italy) that is not legal. I had to buy a trailer which is classified as T.A.T.S, which means Trasporto Attrezzature Tursitico Sportive (
Transport of touristic sports equipment). The trailer has a license plate as well and is registered at motorization. I wish it was that easy to transport a bike.
Good work though!! Cheers form Italy
Love the top-over hold down idea. Make sure there is tension on the shocks so the bike doesn't bounce out of the rails.
Yes, you can see it has multiple holes to hold it in place, so I can put as much pressure I want. Already did 70 miles on it, no problem
I to have built receiver racks, I would have just built a 2 inch receiver for the little car so as to keep the rack standard. Second don't forget the cost of the air bags so you can adjust your cars rear spring rate to the load.
Thank you for the video Romanian neighbour!! I have just one question, What is your Car's tongue weight?? I have a 2018 Subaru Outback 3.6R and it says my tongue weight is 200lb (No Hitch installed) so I am confused... if I get a hitch that's rated at 600lbs at the tongue would that hold my superbike at 410lbs?? Or 200lbs is the MAX I could load onto the tongue?? Thank you in advance!
Mine was the same before I added the extra supports.. So you can't get a 600 pound mount that fits, and if you can than you should be ok..
Nice
I live in Massachusets do you know if it's legal here to?
Thats nice!
As handy as you are, you might even be able to buy them and install them yourself. Have the valve stick out your license plate. Makes it a little hidden as well. Pump up the back just like your bike tires. 👍
I just installed 2inch spacers, gonna try that for a while, they were 13 bucks, car looks good
You're awesome
Thank you
How your car acts to the weight of your bike. I have Nissan Primera 2.0(125 hp) and plan to make rack for my first mx bike...I guess it wont be big problem for the car.
Planning on doing this with a Prius. I have been using a small trailer but this will be easier
It's amazing ...compared to the trailer , better mpg and you can fot they drivethru
I thought about making one of these, but I sold my car and bought a slightly older f150 for $4500. It’s no beauty but it does well
Good video though, cool project. And as you said, no video if you just bought a truck.
yeah i was thinking for a van for a while, but at 12 mpg , i rather have the car !
COME ON BUDDY YOU CAN HELP A FRIEND OUT FOR LOTS OF BEER AND PIZZA!!!! so i have a truck but i love the idea and i love watching you work de magic especially the bar over the bike idea!!
Yeah, it still runs strong today... Fits my Yamaha, my drz and my surron, also my ebycile... It's best thing I ever created...
You made it work, good for you brother! And All for our entertainment. 😊You are so good to us👍
Are their rules about blocking the brake lights?
yes i alrelady ordered lights ill installe them on the carrier with the same connection i have on the trailer !
@@vegasromaniac wow, nice
Should you jack up the car an inch while overnight before you leave in the morning, so the weight of the bike doesn't damage compressing your shocks overnight?
I use a atv carrier with a class two hitch. And it’s holding up good with my ltz400
Awesome
Are others able to see your brake/ turn signals?
Nice job, you gotta do what you got to do to get by with carrying your bike, I'd be doing the same if I didn't have my truck
I'm planning to get a van not a truck, but for now I don't wanna do 12mpg.. In a van
Which is true, but my 2013 F150 I get around 12-15 in town or city, 19-22 out on the highway
the only way you can do a proper mpg is at the pump, my neighbor har a prius that said 55 in the dash , we did the pump test, did 42, was super lying :D if you have an onboard, dont belive it , my work van ford ecoline e250 said 12.5 in dash , in town, at the pump did 8.9
Do you think a double dirt bike rack could be used on a mustang ecoboost?
Depends on the weight.. But I would say no
romanul .. tot roman :))
Asa am crezut și eu, da am ajuns în românia și e plina de prosti, toată lumea comanda chinezării de pe eMAG și nimeni nu mai știe care capăt la surubelnitza se tine

Toyota Yaris is a beast 😁
haha
Genius
Thanks
Air shocks(shock with airbag in it) will cure the cars sag also, pump up to desired height. Check for cracks before every trip, any accident and you'll have a team of blood sucking attorneys waiting to take everything you have. Sad but true!
that's why i have the second strap, if breaks will not get loose
Forsure. They love this type of "home made" / scetchy modified stuff. When a hitch or trailer gets built its not just me as a worker that draws up blueprints and starts fabricating. Engineers and stuff do all that as it all boils down to safety and saving lives. Sure you save 3 grand by not going and picking up a cheap used pickup. If your bike falls off because if shitty flux core welds and you get sued it's gonna be alot more than a couple grand.
And the old ford in the background is worth maybe 8-10 grand. Not 40. And there's absolutely no reason why you would go spend 40 grand on a truck when you can easily find used pickups way WAAAAYYYY more than good enough, and safe enough, to haul around 2 to 3 dirtbikes. I'm not even sure why you would use 40 grand as an example because anyone who watches your channel knows 100% you buy cheap stuff / good deals. You don't go for brand new or expensive stuff. Anyways, hope you don't take my comment the wrong way. Any comments are good comments, just had to throw in my 2¢ coming from a welder wth a couple years behind the torch. By no means do I claim to be an expert welder as no matter what there's always more to learn and techniques can always be fine tuned. Good luck, it looks like in theory it SHOULD hold. But being that I can't see the welds for their entirety I can't say forsure. But hope it all works out and you don't lose your bike or injury someone for the sake of owning a small pickup. I mean you can find little ford Rangers or Chevy, ford, dodge cargo vans for under 2 grand. If you were really pinching pennies guarantee you could find a little pickup for 1000 bucks all registered and all insurance and everything still be under a thousand bucks. Good luck, see you in the next one buddy.
i have a trialer , that i eliminated with this project ... i travel more compact, my mpg is 33 , no truck can achieve that , specially a 1000 dollars truck .. will need repairs, and reliability is well ford and chevy ... and if i would get something that big i would rather have a moto van ! it if falls it falls, also there is the question where it falls, and if maybe if somebody hit it. But the same way if you buy one from harbor freight and it brakes 2 year later you are still liable and they are not, so that arguement is driven by fear , plus i had a strap just for that, it will drag the bike behind my car but it wont come off . How many times you saw somebody loosing a couch on the highway or a tire blow out, shit happens. my biggest fear is that somebody hits my car from the back and kills my bike !
Very clever 👍🏻
thanks
I want this for my coleman minibike
Is there anything like this that is pre-made and sold? I need this for my 2012 civic but can’t make it because I don’t know how to weld
they dont have it for small cars you have to build it
Hi Vegas RoManiac, do you have any video on how did you raise the car afterwards? .. I am pulling a trailer with my sedan and it sits so low that i scrape the hitch receiver on my driveway :) .. I tried adding the rubber blocks into coils but it didnt really help, did u change the coils as a whole ?
It was super ghetto, I put 3 pieces of plywood under.. No joke. I could lot find spacers. But you can buy bags that go in the spring and you can inflate them, 100 bucks
@@vegasromaniac Lol very ghetto, love it! .. right now I have the rubber spacers in the coils but it really does not help :D ... so yeah I was actually looking at the air lift systems
Nice height even to wash bike while on stand other than blasting mud onto the car!
I can drive thru a car wash washer them both
Nice work but the base has a slight bow. You will need more bracing from underneath to make it rigid. Are you going to add brake lights?
yes adding brake lights and license plate ! and the bow is part of the construction , the side mounts didnt allign perfectly with the middle one
Just keep in mind a 100 kg bike bouncing up and down and loading it on uneven terrain can cause cracks and twists in the metal. looking forward to seeing the final product.
Is the bike carrier still good ?I'm thinking for my nissan juke 2015 small suv
Yeah still have it , over 40k miles on it , no problem
I am curious to know how well did it ride? It seem like a ton of tongue weight and would be sketchy.
You can feel it, nit it's not bad.. When the car is loaded for camping, whatever I add in the front set balances out
@@vegasromaniac hey i was looking at this same idea what if you welded some small shocks and two wheels on a swivel if that makes any sense then right where you have the three square tubes.
You could just buy a ranger. Theyre everywhere, cheap, reliable, and best of all theyre rwd and can drift in the snow/rain... i literally bought one for 1500 bucks, threw maybe 400 into it and i use it to take my 2 full sized 250cc two strokes everywhere. I bet i could fit a third across the back too.
Rangers are not 1500, I looked, at 100k they all burn oil people wanna get rid of them , you can't pass smog, and the Ford reliability sucks. Also they do about 25 mpg on best days, while with this car I can do 35, also the seats fold and I can sleep in the car away from the rain and no stupid tents
Even small trucks use a lot of fuel and cars are way more comfortable
Question. Is this possible with a NA Miata I have a motovox mini bike too.
I don't see whamy not, you must need some welding skills I guess
Were you in duck creek this weekend?
not going to duck creek, crashed last week , cant ride , too hurt !
How and where can I buy cargo hitch carrier for my car sedan Toyota Corolla 2019 to hauling lawn mower? Anyone can help me to answer this please
Not bad
It's actually quite good, I haven't used a trailer in moths.
I don't think your mind ever rests.
Your always thinking of something new to build.
Yep is the consequence of having soo much free time
It's funny, I was just thinking how I could use a CommuneAuto to carry a bike. I'll still have to wait for the Prius Pickup I think.
Yeah, it will make millions Toyota makes one, or even easyer, make a small 1/4 ton truck, like they did in the 80's
I learned to drive a road vehicle, off the road because I was too young, in a Toyota Hilux and Mazda Rotary pick-up. I think my grandfather carried eggs in them.
Those were the good days when slamm trucks were available , 1/4 ton truck would easy carry 2 bikes and gear at 30 mpg
nice but is it legal?? how the back car will see your lights ?
My rack has lights on it installed lights on the trailer conector
Bro
Show us or send me the link about how did you deal with to rise up your rear suspension
Thanks 👍🏼💪🏼
You can get spacers z or you can get suspension bags Amazon has them for 100 bucks
@@vegasromaniac oh wow
Didn’t know that
Great info
Bless 😎💪🏼🙏🏼
Hey I’d advise you put a hitch lock through that clamp you built so no one steals it
Yep I can do that..
Are you still using this? I really want something like this for my 2008 Yaris hatchback to carry a 125. Would you recommend doing it?
Absolutely, make my life so much easyer, no more trailer, I fit thru drive thrus, I can go to a restaurant, and I still do 32mpg
@@vegasromaniac thanks for the reply, do you have any pictures of it all fitted? as in under the car so I can see how it's all fitted. I'm hoping I can find someone to do this for me in Canada.
@@tomthorne7347 I have another video installing it, on my channel.. Jusg search around the same date as this one
@@vegasromaniac thanks I'll watch it now.
Do you use this set up much?
No joke every other day if not every day
I live in Vegas too, I’m want to do this with my Hyundai Accent. Would you be interested in helping me out with this project if I pay you? I’d do it myself but don’t have the welder or materials to customize a carrier.
Iam pakistani nice ide.bro.
Dude, Americans rarely appreciate my work , but I'm sure in Pakistan everybody does....
Just pull a small trailer like I do with Toyota echo.
Ed Jacobson Yeah, you could pick up a 4x8 trailer for super cheap
i already have one , but this is way better, i hate dragging the trailer behind !
Did you feel the control of your car altered, your front wheels do weird stuff, did you ever lose control - anything at all (frate :D )? Been trying to ask on various reddits what they think of the idea - 99.99% of ppl be like: "this is Armageddon, you gonna die, they gonna die, we all gonna die from your massive out of hand accident, the Earth gonna shatter and split in two, DON't do it!". I'm also wondering: can you do this with 350-400 lbs (full size moto)? I wanna do this with a Grom on a Prius; the Prius is slightly heavier and has a bit more power, Gromsky is in the same weight range. But I wanted to know if I could get on a CB300r or similar 300cc bike.
PS: I really like the idea. I also have a crazy idea for the arm that holds the bike. It's inspired from photography and quick release plates, or sci fi movie quick release latches. I need to find my self a good CNC guy though or something ;D.
I have 10k miles with this and works fine I feel the same way almost as when I was hauling a trailer, when i load for a trip I do add heavy stuff in the front seat just to ballance the car but it's not necessary . Any added weight will change the ball ace of the car, but it's nowhere near as bad as bad mouth will say, remember the majority of people are uneducated morons that fear their own shadow, the same people will fear flying planes
@@vegasromaniac Thanks. I actually talked with educated morons - like physicists, engineers and what have ya.
@@cubul32 sometimes you just need to try it, math doesn't lie that's true but math sometimes doesn't get applied properly so just because they are smart and use math it doesn't mean it will work. On the primus I see a couple of problems, mounting points, you don't have them, and a class 1 hitch, even a class 2 alone won't be a enough. Suspension adjustment for a 400 pound bike is also a challenge so I would say no
@@vegasromaniac Yeah the math is fairly complex. I looked under my Prius and it seems like there are 3/8 mounting points for a hitch. I wanna do everything 100% custom - that's how I found this clip, looking for other (we must have a collective national madness).
@@vegasromaniac BTW, the spacers, did you fabricate those or bought them?
CAUSE YOU ARE FROM EUROPE (You from RO I am from HU)
igazad van
Hi you mentioned at the start that a class 2 hitch has a push down of 300lb and the bike in your video is
250lb
Why would a class 2 hitch not be suitable for that weight?
Yeah it's cutting close but yes also remeber the have margin bullt in these so if it said 300 can do 400 easy
Depending on the mods and spring swaps, plus gas, bigger rotors, the closer you get to the weight the more likely it will fail, better to have extra strength than to leave your bike on the street for some pounds of strength
That will work in Cali. However, I was thinking the same for my civic in Michigan. However, the roads in Michigan are worse than the roads in Iraq. The pot holes rival some of the IED and mortar holes!
it will hold man , i go offroad this way to the trial head and no problem, if the front wheels clears it the rear too
Qual o peso da sua moto ?. Obrigado do Brasil..
Sorry no understand
Vegas RoManiac what is weight of your bike?and how high was it off the ground?.i'm from Brasil i like your vídeos. Thank you
Hmm what about my 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid 🧐
I dont see why not unless you dokt have any mounting options
please for added security, simply tie down the wheels with a rope or rubber band + hook to the metal bars so that bumpy road can not bring the bike out of its place. what do the goverment say? is this a serious modification of the car? or you got the license for the hook, so all this is okay this way?
im adding lights and license plate, but for trucks you can buy this carrier and it has noting , still as wide still as long and doesnt have lights
it's a shame we're over regulated with these carriers in Hungary.The only option is a van or a trailer:(
Treaba buna Omule :)
@@francisc0 yeah usa is the land of the free.. Haha
Is this legal?
Everything is legal, as long as it doesn't fall off
I wouldn't trust that thin frame its going to break over time. Why not just get a cheap trailer and do it the correct way?
I have over 10000 miles like this with zero problems, also I have a trailer but it's anoying, slows me down and needs to be hooked and unhooked every time I go somewhere, more tork to back up, worse mpg, more things to go back as in flat tires, can get stolen, this is much better in so many ways
I think that in Europe it will be illegal :(
I'm sure, eu has plenty of rules
You Can get a cheap truck for 3000 like a tacoma
and do 12 mpg ... plus i dont wanna spend 3 k and the 3 k truck will need repairs .. guaranmteed
A little 4 banger Tacoma can get 25 or a bit more on the highway. Won't be 3k unless it's from the 90's or 300k+ miles. :)
@@jeffloucks2120 I doubt that the Tacoma on fuelaconomy. Gov it's rated 18_20, if you can find one
