- There are many ways to mount a bike onto an R1T. However I wasn't thrilled with any of the current options until I found Ride88. Using a U-Track design, they have a bed mounted rack system that can easily be installed and removed. Full install and review!

I love how the front wheel is secured but there should be a better way to secure the rear wheel.
I have an R1T, and use a Race Face T2 Tailgate Pad.. I can easily get 4 Mountain bikes in with the tailgate up, and don't worry about the tailgate slamming up and down when hitting bumps.. I use the Gear Guard cable as well..
I just installed 2 of these in my R1T. They seem great so far. Only trouble is I will probably need to take them out once Rivian comes out with a fix / upgrade for the Tonneau cover. Then I will put them back in. I think I may just help secure the rear wheels with small bungee cords to the tie-down rings in the rear corners of the truck bed. The included straps seem like a pain to deal with.
This is a super cool system
Can you raise the bed back door and leave the bike in a diagonal mode?
I was hoping to see you put at least one more bike into the center slot of the rack because it looks to me like the handle bars would be hitting the adjacent bike's handle bars.
The others are at the shop getting a full clean and overhaul. You can put them in straight or backwards to offset eachother
Do you have any plans to purchase an R1S in the future? Love the channel and content!
🤗👍😎 ERIC,ENJOY…It’s nice to be young enough to still bike and healthy enjoy it🚴💚💚💚
Awesome video and review! I'd love to see a review of your ebike too! What made you choose Thok over all the other mountain ebikes out there?
So are you loving the Truck or still leaning toward the Cybertruck for a perminate PIckUp?
The R1T is great. Really enjoying it. Still getting Cybertruck though and will compare them both. 😁 I want that 500+ mile range!
@@TeslaInventory definatly the long range for me to!!
And the super strong exterior will be nice. Not worrying about anything!
Thanks for the video! Been trying to find move videos of them. Have you thought about buying the lock for ride88? I can’t seem to figure out how the lock would work.
What length is your bike? We’re trying to see if the Rivian will fit a cargo e-bike
It would be so much easier to use hit mounted bike carrier. It takes 30 sec to take it off, plus you can use entire bed

Have you tried cutting the gear guard cable with simple wire cutters to see how thick it is?
I would like to see the Link of the purchase of the tesla-semi truck toy giveaway 2 years ago
Aww, millimeter tools. I'm happy you're now down with the Freedom Units.
Don't know why you would want the bikes in the bed like that. rack looks overly complex. Should have got a 1UpUSA hitch mount rack. Load or remove a bike in seconds, rack comes off the truck with 1 tool in less than a minute. all metal so no UV damage to worry about.
I have a 1Up hitch rack and switched to this because the tailgate will hit the rack when its down and with remote release it may cause some damage. Also the rack will not let the truck fit in my garage anymore since I don't have a lot of space front to rear.
Lots of pickups leave their tailgate down to save gas I think. Have you quantified how many watts you lose with the gate up versus down and if hauling the bike costs wattage. It depends on the winds that day of course.
I've noticed a drop in range when I haul my bike on my tesla Y.
I haven't had a chance to fully test out efficiency. It's tricky because environmental situations can change so quickly.
When I used my rack on the Y I lost range. But it was bulky, heavy, and stuck out several feet from the rear.
Believe that was debunked by mythbusters
@@realMysta Also known as the cognitive bias. You'll get a result and they'll say "sold"..
How easy do the bike mounts come out? Do you have to unscrew the quick releases?
You can fold them down to close the tonneau cover. Or you can unscrew the quick release clamp and then remove the bike rack. They fold up nicely and can be stored in the frunk, gear tunnel, or I think they'd fit in the storage space under the trunk if you don't have a spare tire. Then all that'd remain in the bed is the bars.
too bad the bed is so short
Do the bolts in the front not interfere with the travel of the tonneau cover into the front of the bed?
Do you need that strap for the rear tire?
I think it's more up to the user. I don't think it's absolutely necessary. But it'll help hold down the liftgate of the truck and ensure the bike doesn't sway.
@@TeslaInventory It looks like a great system. Everything I'm looking for except that back strap. It looks like it will definitely rub on the tailgate paint over time which could be a big problem. Have you experienced this yet? Plus the straps seem very cumbersome to put on and off, like tailgate pads are. Otherwise, I love how this fits in the bed of the truck. Who wants to lift their MBs to mount above the cab or above the bed? NOT ME!
Will it handle a 140lb electric moto bike?
I think it would. I haven't tested that out though.
