- Unboxing of a Black Widow Motorcycle rack assembling and setup, used as a bike rack for a ebike. This rack comes with a ramp so you can easily push your bike onto the rack. You tie your bike down to the rack like a motorcycle.
Not overkill. I had to do the same thing for my Stealth Bomber. Well done!
Thank you for watching!
*Fits my car perfectly with my new **Latest.Bike** raker , very easy to set up and take down. Great quality and price, very happy with this purchase!*
Good! You will enjoy it. Thank you for watching!
Great review and video!! For those people that says overkill, its peace of mind!! And the ramp is very useful!! Trust me, your LOWER back and shoulder joints will “ thank you later” for not lifting up and down your 75 -85 lbs ebike repeatedly!! Trust a Physical Therapist!!! Thumbs up 👍 for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Your back won’t hurt if you learn to keep your back straight and lift with your legs and have a strong core. Lol
Just got the same rack for my Ariel Rider bike. Can't wait to try it out!
Awesome thanks for watching !
My bike rack comes today. Thank you so much for this video
Your very welcome good luck with it
Thanks for the video. Had about the same thing happen with our bike rack . Two ebikes push the limit of most racks, I'll take overkill anytime. And not a bad price.
Thanks Bob, exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for watching!
Quite informative, thank you for doing this video.
Thank you for watching!
Anyone that checks out the ebike carrier options is going to come to the same conclusion…a motorcycle rack is MUCH more secure and cost a 3rd of what is on the market for ebikes. The closest thing I have seen that might work is over $1100 and while it looks good, I have my doubts as to if any of them can actually carry 2 heavy ebikes without failing. I was thinking about getting this exact carries for my ebikes, but I have 2 to carry and wonder about getting them both to fit on one motorcycle rack.
Good video
Totally agree, thanks for watching!
Great video. We bought the double for our ebikes for use with our motor home. Will be venturing out on first trip with it in two weeks. Hope it goes well as yours did!
Awesome! Thank you for watching ! Camping is what I live for!
Got the black widow yesterday, so far so good
Still using mine. Thanks for watching
The other bike rack you had is only meant for an E-Bike that weighs no more than 60lbs. I called them and they told me that. This is a way much better way to go.
I totally agree. Thanks for watching
Good job, thanks. I have a saris fat bike carrier, had it for a year put 2 ebikes on it, no problem with it.
Thanks for watching!
We landed on this solution after multiple fails using bike racks for mid/long tail fat bikes (non-E)...think Big Fat Dummy on a bike rack... like a hippo on a tightrope. No bueno. This works for a decent price.
Totally agree! Use mine all the time. Thank you for watching!
Thinking of getting the same ,plus good tunes
Glad you enjoyed!!! Thanks for watching
Going to modify it to fit the front wheel into for balance then the straps
Thanks for taking time and your comments
I have one in my storage that I used for my Honda scooter that I sold I'm going to try it on tomorrow with my e-bike thanks great idea
Thanks for watching!
Nice, thanks for the information. I’m looking at this for a Radrunner.
Your welcome thanks for watching!
Nice review!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the informative video. People say, "You don,t need a motorcycle rack." Most ebikes are in the 70-80 lb range. This looks like a much sturdier solution, than most any "bike" rack that I have seen, even ones that are rated for ebikes. The only thing I don't like about it, is the straps. They could have made a ratcheting arm to hold the bike up, and it would be perfect.
Ratcheting arm would not help for a real motorcyle.
Thank you for watching!
Nice, I did the same thing. I got the same rack. My e-bike is a 94 pounds E-CELLS SUPER MONARCH AWD 1000 WATT, and I also added trailer bar lights to the carrier, since the bike block the tail lights of my car. Thx, it is a good idea.
Nice! Thanks for watching!
My ebike is a1000 watt ecell bike heavy as a small donkey. I just put a tuft liner in the tires to prevent flats it was tough until I bought a set of metal tire levers from Amazon, don’t forget to spray around the rem of the tire it makes it much easier to remove the tire. Get rid of those plastic tire levers and get metal levers.
Thanks for posting this viedo! What size is the tubing on the back end? I'm wondering if I can remove the black cover and insert another bicycle rack into the tubing to extend the rack. Thanks!
Interesting video. Thanks.
Thank you for watching!
Good info! Thx.
Thank you cor watching!
Funny thing is, the motorcycle racks I've been looking at for my new 100# e-bike are cheaper than "e-bike racks", and have higher capacity! 🤔Great marketing strategy, just slap "e-bike" on it and double the price! 😂
Lol true
Love it
Thank you for watching
Great review. Glad to see that the rack worked for your bike. I’m looking at this rack for my Riese Muller Load 60 which has a wheel base of 72”. Do you know if this rack will be long enough for it ?
Thanks for watching. The rack is 75" wide, not much room to work with a will base of 72"
Exactly what I got for my Rad Power Bikes Rad Rover. Works perfectly.
Awesome!
I like the idea, but it needs a better hold-down system than all those straps. A vertical piece bolted to the carrier that the bike can be strapped to would be great.
I agree with that.. thanks for watching
Thanks for the demo. I have the same rachet straps and was wondering why you would Sat wrap thru itself on the handle bars? I have mine set up like yours is that wrong?
If your talking about the loops i use on the handle bars, I think the reason to use thoses is that the "lock" better to the bars and are not prone to sliding. Thanks for watching!
HI, do you have any recommendations for EBike covers for the motor cycle rack? I do a lot of traveling across America. I don't want my bike to be exposed to the weather :) your video was really helpful thank you
Thank you!!! REI has a great cover. Its made by "Topeak" works great and you can get it for different sizes bikes. Enjoy!
Thanks
Thank you for watching!
I'm debating to put one on my Outback but afraid to scratch the car. I came up with the idea because I can't lift my bike and discovered how cheap this rack is. Any suggestions on how to keep bike upright and safe from scratching my car?
Use ratchet straps and tie it down like a motorcycle.
This is like my ebike rack, but my bike ramp is made of black heavy metal it is strong I considered the aluminum one, but I hard about cracking problems with those so I opted out for the steal metal rack it only cost $108 and it’s perfect for my ebike. My bikes weight is 92 lbs and that is heavy for a bike, but most important the rack has a ramp so..... I just throttle just a little and walk the bike up the ramp. It’s on my truck 🛻 and it’s going to stay their until he’ll freeze 🥶 over or until winter ❄️ comes. I just built an ebike work station in my backyard from 4x4x8 with a crank to lift the bike up just to change tires and other work. Maybe when I stop 🛑 being camera shy 🙈 and the mob stop 🛑 looking for me I will video some of my ebike adventures.
Thanks for watching and the ommet, make a video there is nothing to if yiu have good info!!
Where did you get your straps for holding the wheels in place?
Thanks for watching. Got the straps from Lowe's
Am also a Sandors bike owner(Rockstar 83lbs). So where do you put your wife's ebike??? Walmart sells a 2 bike rack w/200lbs capacity, no plastic($119). Surprisingly it works!!
Its just me..
Nice thanks was looking for something for my rad power bike witch is 75 pounds and this is perfect. Was going to buy the one they recommended on there site but that’s $400. This is much cheaper.
Does it lock up to the hitch or is it easy for someone to steal the rack?
There is an anti vibrant bracket that bolts on it would need to be unbolted before removing it.
Thanks fkr for watching
there are actually hitch pin with lock on amazon :)
What size hitch extension did you use to clear spare tire?
10"
Remember guys you need to put break lights on your rack because when it rains you will have a rain 🌧 cover over your bike 🚴 this cover will block you truck 🛻 break lights from other motorists. You don’t want to be rearranged by other cars 🚗 because your stupid for not having visible break lights
I see two positives, price and strength. It ends there for me. Two things that make it a no go for me are, it holds only one bike, the whole strap thing is too much hassle, I want something quick, easy and solid. Its a good option for some but just not for me. I'm waiting on my quicRstuff Mach2 with add on. No tools or straps required ever.
Yeah I get it. Almost loosing my ebike made me go a little o erboard thanks for watching!
There are 2 rack ones,
You can set up your straps and it could take 30 seconds to tighten.
Or you can buy specific straps for it.
Does it come with 2 bikes slots?
No, unfortunately, just one
I have two ebikes. Can you suggest a decent dual rack?
You could probably modify this one with some channel aluminum for a second rail. There are some high end bike racks made just for ebikes
Blocks the tail lights, thats a problem.
Depends on the vehicle. I use a set of "tow vehicle " tail lights for safety
Can you add an extension for another bike?
No... but, the wY the ramp mounts, you might be able to use it. Haven't tried but thought about it. Thanks for watching!
Wow
?
How do you put a second bike on?
I only carry my ebike on it. Would not be to hard to bolt some channel steel to it to carry another bike
Can you still carry your wife’s bike also ?
Thanks for watching. It's made for only one bike.
Great but sucks if you have yours and your wife's.
True that... thanks for Watching
Bike racks are overpriced amd overrated, i have found that their profit margins are ridiculous. Think of it, a piece of aluminum welded to each other with plastic and rubber and a few nylon straps. This can't be more than $40, but its actually $300
Now, motorcycle racks require metal due to the weight and safety concerns.
Therefore are built better and cost the same or even less than these bike racks.
Totally agree, but in our world today, everything is over priced. Thanks for watching!
