Just ordered this rack, Amazon on sale $339tax/shipping. Prior rack =Fultyme rack from Walmart approx $150, claimed capacity 200lbs. Stock setup = junk, wobbled and up/down motion shakes the bikes to pieces. Made it work with braces and reinforcing bolts( still dubious). With a static 200lbs, dynamic load usually 20% less(160lbs ??) The up/down motion is the most violent, hard to control. Hope this rack works.(Carring heavy hi $$$bikes). Thanks for your video, helps lots of folks.
I received mine with some missing parts. Just small items but still annoying. My rack is also missing the "anti falloff" knob. Other buyers have also complained about this. Some buyers receive this feature others do not. If your routine is to put the rack on n off each time you ride, this rack at 70lbs might be a struggle. Aggravation from this Chinese product. I have contacted the seller.
I am new to e-biking as well and appreciate this video as I was having a hard time finding a reasonably priced rack. I ordered the single. Nice job and thank you.
Thank you for the kind words! And congratulations! Ebiking is life changing! Ride, Ride, Ride! Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and letting me know!!
@@JasonXBeats ...I don't know how to do the links.... Amazon has the best prices. I friend--subscriber--just told me they got the double on sale for around $320 on Amazon....the single is cheaper. I have several hundred miles on the rack....still love it and still perfect. Let me know if you can not find it on Amazon and I will do some research for you. AND Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Asking!
As long as you do not exceed the weight limit it does not matter. BUT---it will be lighter and easier to maneuver and you will be protecting the battery---both are great things. I mostly take the battery out for those reasons. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Sharing!!
I’m an older guy and just bought my first e-bike (Himiway Zebra D5) and at 87 lbs I’m already researching ways to transport it. Greatly appreciate your video and advice, it’s a clever solution, I’m still looking for the right rack but this helps a lot! Many, many thanks!!

Vibrelli V 70 130lb. two fat tire bike rack. (fits all tire sizes) The rack has key locks securing it to the hitch. as well as key locks to secure the uprights. I love mine. $200.- $250.
I just researched it....it is rated for 65lb bikes x 2. Total weight is 130lbs. It looks like a nice rack but most ebikes weigh more than 65lbs. If your bike does, please be careful. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Commenting!
I know...great rack...several people who have watched the video bought the rack and subscribed and have told me they love it. I have several hundred miles on it now carrying 100lbs bikes....no issues. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Sharing!
Thank you! Heavy bikes...and even if you are strong...they are awkward. And extra strapping never hurt. :) This was the best rack I could find for under $1000. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Commenting!

Thank you for this video, I am currently looking for a e-bike rack. I just last night narrowed it down to this rack. I had the single in my Amazon cart. But thanks to you I will get the double so I can fold it up. It’s 389.00 but comes with the ramp . I think I can do without the ramp like you did. Might wait amd see if I can buy without the ramp.

Young electric bike rack suitable for up to 5" wide tire. Holds 2 Use for my Aventon Sinch fat tire bike, love the ramp., 100 lb each. Capacity. Upright bars, holds sucurely. Amazon, free shipping $305.
$359 now. Talk about inflation. 16%+ in two months...😮 Just ordered one anyway.

@TheTcat1000 ...it has a bolt to tighten. It does not have any slack. I have gone several hundred miles carrying bikes.. .Great Rack. And they have improved with a loading ramp and better center posts to connect bikes.
@itdadof3 ....only partial. But it does block your tag. Your lights are still visible. I have probably 1500+ miles on it and no issues. Thank you for Watching, Liking and Subscribing!
What is the wheelbase of your bike? Not the overall but the wheel measurement hub axle to hub axle? I’m in Bear Delaware and really like this rack for two bikes , but my Himiway Zebra Step thru is long and if they stopped selling it with the tilt feature I won’t consider it…..on Amazon they seem to show both tilt down with handle and simpler folding with cotter pin and pin?..very nice bike btw….
You live around 30 minutes from me....I just ran down to my garage and measured---46 5/8" hub center to hub center. The Tilt is a great feature. The single did not tilt--- the double tilted...I have received conflicting information on my follow-up---one Sub said "no" and the company told me "yes." If it did not tilt, I could still load my new bike, Betty, but Roxy would require more practice. I would probably use the ramp I made if it did not tilt. If you find out they still tilt, and you want to meet, happy to meet you 1/2 way or so----on the line near the Chevrolet Dealer or ? You can email me if you want bruce.hechmer@longandfoster.com. AND Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Asking!
What about step thru e-bikes, will that arm go low enough to catch the frame that is 27 inches above the ground? Also about how much does the rack weigh? THANKS~
That is a great question. It slides all of the way to the top (and comes off if you want) and to the bottom so i think it will grab the part that contains the seat. Thank you for the question!
I forgot to answer weight----about 80 lbs. It is easy to install in the hitch. I kept mine in the hitch for weeks....until my riding slowed due to cold weather. The new rack still tilts according to the company but they never answered me if it will tilt down. Even assuming it does not tilt down, I still would have purchased because it is still easier than others to lift in the rack and the front tire cradle holds it in place until you can lift the rear. AND it keeps it secure. I did not want to pay $700+ for a "better" rack.
@@MarkSmith-js2pu .the Bike is a Fabulous Ebikes Road Warrior X2 AWD... I love it. Researched my purchase for months...really years...before I bought it. No regrets. Powerful enough to move me at 250lb fast...and when pedaling in PAS 1 on mostly level ground have gone 50+ miles with voltage left...
This is so helpful, thank you! On the Young Electric website, the current 2-bike model doesn't seem to have the handle to drop down like yours. I wonder if they remove that feature. There is no mention that it be be dropped down anymore. Too bad, I'll have to see if I can find the older model with the drop down feature. Great video, appreciate you.
Hello there. Thank you for watching and sharing. Please double check becuase I know they still advertise as tilt. The single MATE does Not tilt....which is why I bought the double. I emailed Young about a ramp...and they responded within a day...email them. Thanks again!
@@IMBruceECLECTIC Unfortunately, Young Electric confirmed that the current 2-bikes model does not tilt down. You are lucky to have the older model that does tilt down. Comparing the photos on their website, the current model does not have a pull handle like yours. Thanks again!
@@MrSuperGoop...wow...that is crazy. That is one of the features I like. I would still buy even with no tilt after my trials and tribulations with other racks becuase I like the front tire cradle and center attachment arm. I have only had that about 5 weeks.......thank you for the follow-up! I appreciate you!!🚴♂️
@@MrSuperGoop ..I did email the company to ask. I went on to the website----they still fold up but did not see a handle to tilt. AND I use the handle to Fold.....so not sure how that works. Will let you know if I learn more. Thanks again!
They have 2 different versions - one is Mate R which has no quick release handle but comes with a ramp and one is easy fold bike rack which has quick release handle- hope this helps 😊
Good review, Bruce!! I just discovered you and wanted to see which rack you were talking about. I was happy to see it's the Young Electric Mate since I've been looking at that for our 2 80-lb bikes. Even happier that you like it. I'm not as handy as you so, I'll be buying their ramp. Look forward to seeing more from you, Bruce! BTW...is that a YLG seat you got on Roxy?
Love this rack. I just used it a few times the past 2 weeks to carry different (heavy---over 100lb each) bikes. Still love it. Very secure and no wobble going down the road or turning. Thank you again for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Letting me know!
@@IMBruceECLECTIC- Hey...even us "old" (I'm 70) guys need an attaboy every now and then, you know!! From all I've seen, I am leaning towards the Mate...with the Hollywood close behind.
I forgot---Yes YLG---I love that seat. It looks funny but it is so comfortable. My first one broke at about 300 miles....they sent me a new one for free. Great company support. Thank you again. I try and do at least 2 videos a week with at least one being bike related.
@@RicLevine ...truth. Great job ebiking...I pray that I can retire one day and would love to be ebiking and making help videos and biking videos at age 70 and beyond. Ebiking---changed my life when I started in October 2023. Such a super health booster.......
Hello there. I am thinking of buying a Wired Ebike Cruiser. There are a lot of nice step-through bikes...but if you want good bang for your $$ and fast...I do not know of any better out there. I want fast which is why I was thinking of buying one...and I want to try and minimize my risk of falling.... Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Asking. If you have specific questions, I am happy to try and help.
@@IMBruceECLECTIC I failed to be specific in my request. What I meant to ask was do have a recommendation on a bike rack for a step through e-bike? (sorry you are supposed to read my mind...lol)
@@JakeWiener1956 .ha ha ha...all is good. That rack will work with a step-through. The upright arms move and the bike clamp goes up and down. The new rack has been tweaked with a better bike clamp and now comes with a loading ramp.
Hello there...Do you mean to hold the rack in the hitch...it is a standard size hitch pin. BUT the one that comes with the rack is threaded---you use a wrench or ratchet to install and then a cotter pin. It does not allow the rack to bounce around. A good design---just not as fast to do as a traditional hitch pin. BUT I do not worry about anyone stealing it because most thieves are looking for a fast get away and do not expect to have to wrench out a hitch pin. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Commenting!
I have a two bike rack but it’s rated for 210 pounds but I’m going to by a single rack next year rated for 510 pounds it’s usually just me going the wife always has an excuse way she can’t go, to hot, to cold, to much to do, to late, to early 😂
I never appreciated the weight and awkward aspect of a heavy e-bike. I actually also tried a 4th way---extra wide and extra strong dog ramp....still too hard to do for me. BUT I am not graceful.....When you retire you will be able to coordinate your riding with the wifeeeee. :)
Nice video; I like this rack because the bike sits ON the beam and not beside it in a cheap welded-on 'loop'. 😀Do you think it'll be able to handle both Roxy and your new Goat at the same time?
Thank you...Yes...my new bike....I will remove the batteries and it will be under 100lbs.....AND....most times...racks can handle more than they are rated to hold.....Roxy and Betty together will be under, albeit slightly, 200 lbs. It is a great rack...and not a lot of money. Thank you for watching my FRIEND!

My father-in-law just ordered this same model for his two recently acquired e-bikes. Stumbled onto your video and forwarded it to him. Nicely done on your part. Have you loaded two bikes on your rack?
Thank you! Yes----I had my Roxy (about 100lbs---maybe a little more with all that I have added) and a second bike--albeit, a traditional bike. No issues with the rack. I have gone over 200 miles using the rack and no issues. Love the Rack. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Sharing! I appreciate it....this is my most viewed video...never would have thought it! Please ask your dad and friends to Sub. :) Thank you again.
Thank you Liking, Subscribing and Watching! It is a Young Electric Bike Rack. Bought on Amazon. Caught a sale. I have been told by a viewer that the new model does not tilt down...but when I emailed the company, they told me it does "tilt." It is very secure and that front tire cradle is deep and gives me piece of mind that the bike will not "hop" off. And the cheapest good rack rated for 100lb x2 bikes I could find.
Even better. Buy a 1up rack, use it for years, then list it for $100 less and it will sell in no time. I hate the company and think they are overpriced but they have such reputation.
Crazy price. This is a rack that some of my friends have found for under $300 on sale.....I have not found a 200lb. rack as good in that price range. "apples to apples" There are a lot of great 200lb racks for $600+........ Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Sharing!

Hopefullly fixing to buy my first ebike....at 76 years of age. Old as dust. Great looking rack but checking the price on Amazon it is $850 bucks. Wow. That is a third the price of the bike I am looking at. I am always concerned with hitch mount anything....given all of the rocking back and forth and up and down. However, this one seems to be less so than most I have seen. As someone else pointed out with another brand, 70 lbs bouncing up and down is not 70lbs. Probably more like 100+. It sure would be nice if someone could come up with a system that is absolutely rigid. But, then it would probably break. This is by far the best one I have seen but the price is just too high for my budget.
Great job buying a bike! 76 years young....IMPRESSIVE. When you get your bike you will feel 26! You are not looking at the same one... I will get you the link. I just checked last week and the double was $329 and the single was $289. YES...you are right....inertia creates force and stress. My rack has gone hundreds of miles now and is still great. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and telling me. I am going to go on Amazon...get the link and post it for you.

The single did not tilt--- the double tilted...I have received conflicting information on my follow-up---one Sub said "no" and the company told me "yes." If it did not tilt, I could still load my new bike, Betty, but Roxy would require more practice. I would probably use the ramp I made if it did not tilt. If you find out they still tilt, and you want to meet, happy to meet you 1/2 way or so----on the line near the Chevrolet Dealer or ? You can email me if you want bruce.hechmer@longandfoster.com.
AND Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Asking!
What about step thru e-bikes, will that arm go low enough to catch the frame that is 27 inches above the ground? Also about how much does the rack weigh? THANKS~
That is a great question. It slides all of the way to the top (and comes off if you want) and to the bottom so i think it will grab the part that contains the seat. Thank you for the question!
I forgot to answer weight----about 80 lbs. It is easy to install in the hitch. I kept mine in the hitch for weeks....until my riding slowed due to cold weather. The new rack still tilts according to the company but they never answered me if it will tilt down. Even assuming it does not tilt down, I still would have purchased because it is still easier than others to lift in the rack and the front tire cradle holds it in place until you can lift the rear. AND it keeps it secure. I did not want to pay $700+ for a "better" rack.
What kind of bi’e was that?
@@MarkSmith-js2pu .the Bike is a Fabulous Ebikes Road Warrior X2 AWD... I love it. Researched my purchase for months...really years...before I bought it. No regrets. Powerful enough to move me at 250lb fast...and when pedaling in PAS 1 on mostly level ground have gone 50+ miles with voltage left...
@@IMBruceECLECTIC I’ll check it out!
This is so helpful, thank you! On the Young Electric website, the current 2-bike model doesn't seem to have the handle to drop down like yours. I wonder if they remove that feature. There is no mention that it be be dropped down anymore. Too bad, I'll have to see if I can find the older model with the drop down feature. Great video, appreciate you.
Hello there. Thank you for watching and sharing. Please double check becuase I know they still advertise as tilt. The single MATE does Not tilt....which is why I bought the double. I emailed Young about a ramp...and they responded within a day...email them. Thanks again!
@@IMBruceECLECTIC Unfortunately, Young Electric confirmed that the current 2-bikes model does not tilt down. You are lucky to have the older model that does tilt down. Comparing the photos on their website, the current model does not have a pull handle like yours. Thanks again!
@@MrSuperGoop...wow...that is crazy. That is one of the features I like. I would still buy even with no tilt after my trials and tribulations with other racks becuase I like the front tire cradle and center attachment arm. I have only had that about 5 weeks.......thank you for the follow-up! I appreciate you!!🚴♂️
@@MrSuperGoop ..I did email the company to ask. I went on to the website----they still fold up but did not see a handle to tilt. AND I use the handle to Fold.....so not sure how that works. Will let you know if I learn more. Thanks again!
They have 2 different versions - one is Mate R which has no quick release handle but comes with a ramp and one is easy fold bike rack which has quick release handle- hope this helps 😊
Good review, Bruce!! I just discovered you and wanted to see which rack you were talking about.
I was happy to see it's the Young Electric Mate since I've been looking at that for our 2 80-lb bikes. Even happier that you like it. I'm not as handy as you so, I'll be buying their ramp.
Look forward to seeing more from you, Bruce!
BTW...is that a YLG seat you got on Roxy?
Love this rack. I just used it a few times the past 2 weeks to carry different (heavy---over 100lb each) bikes. Still love it. Very secure and no wobble going down the road or turning. Thank you again for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Letting me know!
AND thank you for the kind words!
@@IMBruceECLECTIC- Hey...even us "old" (I'm 70) guys need an attaboy every now and then, you know!!
From all I've seen, I am leaning towards the Mate...with the Hollywood close behind.
I forgot---Yes YLG---I love that seat. It looks funny but it is so comfortable. My first one broke at about 300 miles....they sent me a new one for free. Great company support. Thank you again. I try and do at least 2 videos a week with at least one being bike related.
@@RicLevine ...truth. Great job ebiking...I pray that I can retire one day and would love to be ebiking and making help videos and biking videos at age 70 and beyond. Ebiking---changed my life when I started in October 2023. Such a super health booster.......
Any recommendations for a "step-though" e-bike?
Hello there. I am thinking of buying a Wired Ebike Cruiser. There are a lot of nice step-through bikes...but if you want good bang for your $$ and fast...I do not know of any better out there. I want fast which is why I was thinking of buying one...and I want to try and minimize my risk of falling.... Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Asking. If you have specific questions, I am happy to try and help.
@@IMBruceECLECTIC I failed to be specific in my request. What I meant to ask was do have a recommendation on a bike rack for a step through e-bike? (sorry you are supposed to read my mind...lol)
@@JakeWiener1956 .ha ha ha...all is good. That rack will work with a step-through. The upright arms move and the bike clamp goes up and down. The new rack has been tweaked with a better bike clamp and now comes with a loading ramp.
What size is that lock pin i want to use an aftermarket one bought ine but it doesnt fit
Hello there...Do you mean to hold the rack in the hitch...it is a standard size hitch pin. BUT the one that comes with the rack is threaded---you use a wrench or ratchet to install and then a cotter pin. It does not allow the rack to bounce around. A good design---just not as fast to do as a traditional hitch pin. BUT I do not worry about anyone stealing it because most thieves are looking for a fast get away and do not expect to have to wrench out a hitch pin. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Commenting!
I have a two bike rack but it’s rated for 210 pounds but I’m going to by a single rack next year rated for 510 pounds it’s usually just me going the wife always has an excuse way she can’t go, to hot, to cold, to much to do, to late, to early 😂
I never appreciated the weight and awkward aspect of a heavy e-bike. I actually also tried a 4th way---extra wide and extra strong dog ramp....still too hard to do for me. BUT I am not graceful.....When you retire you will be able to coordinate your riding with the wifeeeee. :)
Rip1Outdoors, ebike adventures, Gary's need to check your review of the bike rack out!🚲💥😎
Thank you! Very nice of you to "say." 🙏
Nice video; I like this rack because the bike sits ON the beam and not beside it in a cheap welded-on 'loop'. 😀Do you think it'll be able to handle both Roxy and your new Goat at the same time?
Thank you...Yes...my new bike....I will remove the batteries and it will be under 100lbs.....AND....most times...racks can handle more than they are rated to hold.....Roxy and Betty together will be under, albeit slightly, 200 lbs. It is a great rack...and not a lot of money. Thank you for watching my FRIEND!
awesome video thanks! Link to the single rack?

My father-in-law just ordered this same model for his two recently acquired e-bikes. Stumbled onto your video and forwarded it to him. Nicely done on your part. Have you loaded two bikes on your rack?
Thank you! Yes----I had my Roxy (about 100lbs---maybe a little more with all that I have added) and a second bike--albeit, a traditional bike. No issues with the rack. I have gone over 200 miles using the rack and no issues. Love the Rack. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Sharing! I appreciate it....this is my most viewed video...never would have thought it! Please ask your dad and friends to Sub. :) Thank you again.
What rack are they ??
Thank you Liking, Subscribing and Watching! It is a Young Electric Bike Rack. Bought on Amazon. Caught a sale. I have been told by a viewer that the new model does not tilt down...but when I emailed the company, they told me it does "tilt." It is very secure and that front tire cradle is deep and gives me piece of mind that the bike will not "hop" off. And the cheapest good rack rated for 100lb x2 bikes I could find.
Even better. Buy a 1up rack, use it for years, then list it for $100 less and it will sell in no time. I hate the company and think they are overpriced but they have such reputation.
Crazy price. This is a rack that some of my friends have found for under $300 on sale.....I have not found a 200lb. rack as good in that price range. "apples to apples" There are a lot of great 200lb racks for $600+........ Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Sharing!
Velcro on neoprene battery covers on Amazon, several choices.
Great Idea and Suggestion! Thank you!! And Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Sharing a Great Idea!!

Hopefullly fixing to buy my first ebike....at 76 years of age. Old as dust. Great looking rack but checking the price on Amazon it is $850 bucks. Wow. That is a third the price of the bike I am looking at. I am always concerned with hitch mount anything....given all of the rocking back and forth and up and down. However, this one seems to be less so than most I have seen. As someone else pointed out with another brand, 70 lbs bouncing up and down is not 70lbs. Probably more like 100+. It sure would be nice if someone could come up with a system that is absolutely rigid. But, then it would probably break. This is by far the best one I have seen but the price is just too high for my budget.
Great job buying a bike! 76 years young....IMPRESSIVE. When you get your bike you will feel 26! You are not looking at the same one... I will get you the link. I just checked last week and the double was $329 and the single was $289. YES...you are right....inertia creates force and stress. My rack has gone hundreds of miles now and is still great. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and telling me. I am going to go on Amazon...get the link and post it for you.
