Section 8: Bike installation –Check your bike frame or seat post to be sure the frame clamps will fit.
If your bike frame is CARBON FIBER, be sure to clamp to the seat post.
Check Figs. 43-50 Prior to bike installation for tips on
how your particular frame style will fit best.
Per your E bike’s instructions and recommendations,
remove battery. Images depicted in Figs. 43-53 shows
battery for reference purposes only.
Whenever possible, try to keep the bike centered on
the rack due to uneven weight distributions on some
non-mid drive E bikes.
For the second bike, it may be necessary to lower or
raise the seat post due to possible handlebar to seat
interference.
Position the first or inside bike in front of the rack, so
that the bike frame or seat post can be securely
attached by the clamp. Adjust the position of the
wheel holders so they align with the bike’s wheels.
Place the bike onto the wheel holders and make final
adjustments as required. Tighten knobs securely.
Tighten the Velcro style straps around the bike’s
wheels per fig. 41

seat post, then tighten knob securely. Frame
clamps are lockable, and keyed to the hitch pin
and security cable. Always lock the clamp after
bike installation. Repeat for the second or outer
bike.Use the included Tie-down strap between

motion. See Fig. 54 and 55
Fig. 42
Section 9: bike frame tips: Check Figs. 36 and 37 to be sure your bike frame and/or seat post will fit in the
frame clamp. If it does not properly fit, you can use a bike adapter (Hollywood model BA-PRO) per fig. 51
and 52.
Tip: The frame clamp can be installed at the seat post for most step thru bikes (Fig 44), but a bike
adapter can also be used depending on the bike’s frame geometry and tube shape (Fig. 53 and 54).
