• Our one tandem bike rack is only for a 2″ receiver hitch. If you have a 1.25″ receiver hitch, you may use a 1.25″ to 2″ adapter with caution. We suggest that if you use an adapter, you also use 2 anti-rattle bolts to remove the movement introduced by the additional joints between the rack and the receiver hitch.
• The one tandem hitch rack does not work for Recumbent Tandems. It only works for tandems that have seat posts and both sets of pedals are behind the front wheel
• The one tandem bike rack comes with all the straps you need.
• The one tandem bike rack does not tilt down when the tandem is either on or off the rack. In order to access the back of your SUV you need to remove the rack. Since the rack only weighs about 27 lbs, removing the rack is very easy and takes just a few seconds.
• The one tandem hitch rack cannot be used with a full rear fender. You need to be able to stand your tandem vertically on its rear wheel with the fender clearing the ground by 4″ in order to use this rack.
• Watch the video on the Website for more information.

• The two trike hitch rack comes in models for two tadpole trikes, two delta trikes and one tadpole trike and one delta trike.
• The two trike hitch rack can handle either a tadpole trike (two front wheels) or a delta trike (two rear wheels ).
• The two trike hitch rack does not tilt down for access to the rear of your SUV.

• The heavy duty model only comes in the 2″ receiver hitch model. If you have a 1.25″ receiver hitch, you may use a 1.25″ to 2″ adapter with caution. We suggest that if you use an adapter, you also use 2 anti-rattle bolts to remove the movement introduced by the additional joints between the rack and the receiver hitch.
• The two trike hitch rack cannot be used with a full rear fender. You need to be able to stand your tandem vertically on its rear wheel with the fender clearing the ground by 6″ in order to use this rack.

• To load your trikes onto the two trike hitch rack you need to stand the trike vertically on its rear wheel(s) and pick the trike up vertically to the bumper level and set the trike on the rack. We have designed the rack to hold the trikes vertically because you only have to lift them to the bumper level. With a horizontal rack you lift one trike to the bumper level, but you have to lift the other trike to chest level.
