ECOTRIC 800LBS Motorcycle Trailer Hitch Scooter Hauler Mount Rack 2" Motorcycle Tow Carrier Receiver Heavy Duty Steel

This thing works great! Needed to move my bike out of storage and across a good cut of my state and this did the trick. The bike will lean but it will always right itself when you pull straight. It does follow the crown of the road so it will lean a little bit while driving straight. It's very strange at first but soon it's normal. We only strapped it to the carrier and did not triangulate the straps to the car as there was no point. The head stock will twist which then leans the bike so just let it do so. Backing up is like moving a very short trailer but is certainly possible. Not recommended though. The lever lift is absolutely fantastic and could not work better. No breaker bar needed. I don't know how anyone had a bike fall off this unless they either didn't put it together correctly or tried to over think the strapping and got the bike all twisted up. Don't use the supplied straps. We used 5 straps, two on each fork (doubled as the straps used are garbage and could snap) and one over the front tire. All of this was strapped to the lifting portion and not on the fixed hitch side. We also pulled the chain off the bike just to be safe and because it can't be good to spin a transmission without the pump turning. Also yes that is a 1990 CBR1000F and yes that is a Prius (used air ride levelers in the rear).

I'd return this if the box wasn't tossed away. It went together easily enough but was flimsy. We mounted on truck & put motorcycle on. It came with 4 1" straps to hold tire to bracket. We went and bought 6 ratchet straps to tie down to bumper. But even that didn't keep the mount from dumping bike onto it's side on an easy turn ( not a corner just a slight bend in road) Tried attaching/strapping multiple ways but bracket might of been to long to hold steady. Would not recommend

Bought to use with a 500Ib honda shadow, it's very sturdy once you get it assembled with the ikea-esque assembly instruction sheet with a nice thick paint coating on all the parts, it also comes with 4 Cambuckle straps that are somewhat cheap feeling that I don't trust but using regular ratchet straps work fine, my main issue is the length of the lever/handle used to hoist the front wheel when the bike is loaded is on the shorter side ,so I had to use a length of pipe to get the leverage to lift wheel high enough to lock in place, lastly the whole trailer has sort of low clearance so a hitch riser is recommended. overall tho worth the money. previously I bought a similar hitch hoist for more $ that was rated 1000Ib's had its welds pop that nearly wrecked the bike.

Works so so, lifting geometry needs work when dealing with a heavier motorcycle

TL/DR: I was able to load a cruiser (573 pounds dry) with a full tank of gas by myself and drive an hour at highway speeds with no issues. I used my own ratchet straps and did not the straps included. I do not have room for a trailer and did not want to pay an annual personal property tax on something I would use infrequently. This hitch seemed like a great solution. I was concerned with its ability to lift/tow a heavier bike, but last night that concern was put at ease. It was easy enough to assemble and does not take up too much room. I had to pluck my 2005 Honda Sabre off the side of the highway last night after... issues. With the use of some straps (to keep balanced and from tipping) I was able to load the bike onto the carrier by myself with relative ease. Being the first time (and be wary of parts bending as I lifted as indicated in some reviews), I was a bit concerned that I moved the load handle ~6" and the bike had not moved. When I took my blinders off and took in the whole picture I realized the bike was not lifting yet because the Jeep's rear suspension was still compressing. The load bar gave a good amount of leverage and it was not a strain to get the bike loaded. I will mention that it loaded easier with little quick pushes once there was tension on the load handle. This helped overcome the friction (versus a constant pressure that tended to lean the whole unit). I am happy I greased the upright when I assembled it or else this may have been more of an issue. Once lifted and secured I made an hour drive on the highway (~70mph). The bike was as secure upon arrival as when I left. The way I loaded: - Lower the hitch and roll the front tire into it. - Use ratchet straps to pull and secure the bike onto the carrier (from the portion of the carrier holding the wheel, up and over the inner part of the handlebars near the fork). This seated the wheel fully into the carrier and compressed the bike's front shocks) - Ran two more ratchet straps from the outer portion of the bike's handlebars (inner portion of the grips) to the bumper. This was to eliminate any sway others complained about. - Slowly raised the bike. Once I felt heavy resistance is when I would give the handle short little pushes to break the friction. - Once raised and the cotter pin in place to hold it there I readjusted the two outer staps. - Reversed the process to unload. This is an amazing value for the cost. I would spend a little more if they would add ball bearings or something else to reduce the friction on the upright bar. I am afraid if I had not greased mine the friction would have been too much and the whole unit may have failed and the bike would have ended up on its side. I would also upgrade the included straps to a proper ratchet style, or just not include any at all so people would have one less thing to complain about. With that said, still 5/5 for the value and getting the job done. Great for occasional use, but would invest in something more substantial if constantly moving heavy bikes.

It need lots of work you get what you pay for spend more get more. The straps are very bad use rachet straps and soft ties. Very hard to lift even 400lb bike. Tried it on three bikes same results. Bolts and nuts should be shorter and washers should be better fit and bigger. It is heave so hard to return.

It worked great. I used it to tow a 2000 Suzuki Intruder 1400 about 25 miles using a 2005 Explorer. My hitch required an adapter to get it up to the 2” size. Everything held together firmly. I stopped to check the straps after the first 5 minutes and it was still secure. Down a dirt road, over a train crossing, and over some speed bumps it held up. I got it up to 65mph for a good part of the haul. The only thing I can say bad about it is that the instructions could have been a little more specific. It was just a diagram with rather small font. I did put the bolt heads on the inside of the area where the tire goes so it had a little more room. I was going to rent a U-Haul trailer and a pickup (U-Haul doesn’t let you renter a trailer to tow behind an Explorer…), but this ended up being cheaper. And now I own a towing rig. Very pleased!

I came as described was great to have instructions and all the nuts and bolts installed it on my suv looks great will be using it this weekend

フロントタイヤ120/70ラジアルなので、載せるときは無理やり入ったのですが、降ろすときにフロントタイヤのリブに六角の頭が引っかかって一人ではびくともしないので三人がかりで外しましたが、ホイールに傷がついてしまいました。バイアスタイヤならぴったりなのでしょうが残念です。 もう少し幅を広げるか、ボルト頭が内側に出ない工夫が必要ですね。

Used once. Great in a straight line. As soon as you turn the bike falls. There needs to be wider tie-down points to anchor the bike better

Well built
