Osluken 2-bike hitch mount – 220 lb tilting platform rack for e-bikes
Think of this as the no-nonsense platform hitch rack for people who really ride — including owners of hefty e-bikes and fat-tyre rigs. It’s a solid, practical carrier that gets two bikes on and off the car without faffing about, and keeps them steady on the motorway so you’re not second‑guessing every bump.
Key features
- 220 lb maximum load — supports two bikes up to 110 lb each (about 100 kg total capacity; ~50 kg per bike), so most e-bikes, cargo bikes and heavy mountain bikes are covered.
- Wheel cradle design — accepts tyres up to 5″ wide (127 mm) and a maximum wheelbase of 47.24″ (1,200 mm). The cradles slide fore and aft to suit different bike lengths.
- Adjustable top hooks — long/short hook slides vertically up to 38.19″ (970 mm) on the centre post, making it straightforward to secure different frame heights.
- 45° quick‑release tilt — gives easy tailgate access even when the rack’s fully loaded, and the whole unit folds flat against the vehicle for compact storage.
- Anti‑wobble protection — rubber‑coated hooks, tyre straps and arc‑shaped cradles reduce movement and help prevent scrapes to paintwork.
- Security kit included — locking threaded hitch pin and security straps give added peace of mind on short stops.
Why this rack might suit you
If you regularly cart an e‑bike to the trail or ferry two bikes to a mate’s meet, this rack takes the usual hassle out of the equation. No lifting bikes onto the roof or balancing them awkwardly — you load at waist height, strap the tyres in, clip the hook and you’re off. That’s a proper bonus on chilly mornings when you don’t fancy messing about with fiddly straps.

Installation is deliberately simple: the carrier drops into a 2″ receiver and most bits arrive partly pre‑assembled. You’ll need to tighten a few bolts and rods during final setup, but there’s nothing overly technical. If you’re unsure about fit, check your receiver size and your bike’s wheelbase/tyre width first — saves faffing later.
Worried about wobble or paint damage? The rubber‑coated hooks and well‑shaped cradles do a good job of keeping things steady and scratch‑free. For extra security on overnight stops, use the supplied locking threaded hitch pin and security straps — handy if you’re leaving bikes unattended for a short spell.
All told, this is a dependable, straightforward solution for carrying two heavier bikes without needing a roof rack. It’s ideal for car, SUV, truck, camper or trailer owners who want easy loading, stable transport and the ability to fold the rack away when it’s not in use.
Typical use cases
- Taking two e‑bikes to the coast for a weekend ride.
- Transporting a fat‑tyre and a standard mountain bike to the trailhead.
- Holiday trips where easy tailgate access and compact storage matter.
