139 customers mention77 positive62 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the ease of assembly of the transport rack. Some find the instructions pretty simple to put together by looking at the photos. They say the hardware is average and the directions are ok. However, some customers say the instructions are not very good, there are no assembly instructions included, and the carrier has a single sheet of instructions with very small, poorly photographed images. They also mention that the nuts to hold on the ramp are not convenient and it is easy to lose them.

"...There were no instructions, but it's pretty easy to figure out by looking at the pictures.Make sure you get some good ratchet straps...." Read more

67 customers mention34 positive33 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the stability of the transport rack. Some say that it works well at stabilizing the bike and keeping it secure, while others say that the bike can get wobbly and uncomfortable when they are driving. The rack can also rock and move around in the hitch.

24 customers mention9 positive15 negative

Customers are mixed about the fit of the transport rack. Some mention that it fits fine and easily into the square hitch hole, while others say that the instructions are horrible, mini bike tires do not fit very good, and it doesn't fit very snuggly into their receiver. It's not the best fit for raised vehicles, and the ramp is too narrow for their rear tire.

"...My rear tire doesn't fit between the rails but thats not a big issue...." Read more

"Fits easily into the square hitch hole and has very little play, minimizing "bouncing"...." Read more

"...TO THE "inside" OF THE TRACK FOR THE BACK TIRE DID NOT FIT INTO THE TRACK COMPLETELY BUT THE RATCHETS HELD THE CYCLE IN PLACE...." Read more

"...Otherwise, I would give this a 5 star. Not all the parts fit well together...." Read more

35 customers mention0 positive35 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the transport rack. They mention that the ramp is too short, narrow, and unstable. Some say that the edges are not wide enough for the back tire. Overall, some customers feel that the included ramp is useless if you have a tall truck or SUV.

"...The ramp is quite short, so if you have even a slight amount of lift, that ramp will be VERY steep...." Read more

"...This carrier is not too wide, so having a motorcycle with tires that are much greater than 180mm wide may be problematic...." Read more

"...Others have said it as well, but the ramp is a little short depending on the ride height of your "towing" vehicle...." Read more

"...Just like everyone says the ramp is too short and could easily have been made longer...." Read more

24 customers mention6 positive18 negative

Customers find the maneuverability of the transport rack to be difficult. They mention that it's hard to roll it up and down, and hard to push up. The ramp is also very steep, and the rack drags if there are abrupt changes in direction. Some say that the rack is somewhat low to the ground, making it difficult to load on level ground.

"...short, so if you have even a slight amount of lift, that ramp will be VERY steep...." Read more

"...Cons: Somewhat low to the ground, will drag if there are abrupt elevation changes Needed to add a bar at the front to get enough width..." Read more

"...With 4 tie-downs attached to the bike, there was very little movement...." Read more

"...But, having said all that, I still recommend it. The ramp is a bit steep, but I was still able to load my Vespa by myself...." Read more

An incredible value

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2015

Verified Purchase

This bike carrier is an incredible value. I use it to haul a 180 lbs pit bike, but I've also used it with a 400 lbs motorcycle

I considered a similar aluminum carrier, the AMC-400 http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Motocross-Mounted-Carrier-Receivers/dp/B001IUV1CM/ however I ultimately decided on the TMS because it's $60 cheaper and has a higher carrying capacity (500 vs 400 lbs).

Assembly time is 30 min to an hour. There were no instructions, but it's pretty easy to figure out by looking at the pictures.

Make sure you get some good ratchet straps. I use 4 of the Erickson retractable straps - http://www.amazon.com/Erickson-34415-Retractable-Ratcheting-Tie-Down/dp/B0056OFWVM/ They're not as cheap as some of the others, but they save a lot of time when strapping everything down. The hooks also fit perfectly in the holes of this carrier.

Suprisingly strong! The ramp is a bit short, though...

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017

Verified Purchase

I mainly use this to transport my 1974 Yamaha TY250 and my 1965 Triumph T100SC which it does with ease. Just attach the ramp, fire up the bike, and stand beside the bike operating the clutch to pull the bike up onto the platform under it's own power. Easy on the little bikes!

Now, bigger bikes are more complex. The rack I received will actually hold 600lbs. But, most "factory" tow packages only have a tongue rating of 500lbs, which is why they rate it at only 500. When it's attached to my lifted 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser, loading the bigger girls is a little more tricky. The ramp is quite short, so if you have even a slight amount of lift, that ramp will be VERY steep. While I have pulled my 1973 BMW R60/5 up under it's own power, it was very sketchy. I've found parking on the street and loading from a raised sidewalk helps lessen the angle on the ramp.

On the back of my wife's 2005 Chevy Tahoe (which is much lower than my FJ) it's a little easier to load. The hitch rating on the Tahoe is higher than my FJ, as well, so I can load my 1975 CB750F, which is getting pretty close to that 500lb Mark and could go over that in a "bounce" event. Now, even though the carrier is rated at 600lbs in the documentation you get, I wouldn't trust it for a cross country trek with a 550lb bike on it. So, maybe keep your Goldwing off of it.

Great carrier for the price!

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

Let me say first, I love using this carrier. I took it on a multi-state (1000 + mikes) trip on the back of my minivan and it worked flawlessly. It is far more convenient than I expected it to be. It's easy to load and unload. The anti-rattle device works well enough, although kind of a pain to install the first few times, until you get the hang of it. Assembly was pretty straight forward and not difficult, but this rack is made from thinner "steel"... And that is where the problem is. When you assemble the carrier, you have to pay extra attention to how much you tighten the bolts, because you WILL bend (crush) the "steel" rectangular tubes in your effort to make the rack tight and secure. This is why I only gave it 4 stars. I feel like, with enough use, I will have to do some modifications to make the rack stronger and more durable. But for the money paid and the convenience of this carrier (even with the strength issue), I would recommend this to my friends.

This carrier is a very nice carrier for the price. Used it to haul my ktm 525 exc home after buying it 80+ miles away. Bike did great on the carrier the carrier was very sturdy although there’s not much “security” as far as the hitch goes besides the anti tilt being wrenched down would recommend a locking anti tilt. All in all great carrier does what it needs to do. Be sure to strap your wheels down as well or it’ll slide right off the carrier. 9/10 would recommend.

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

This carrier has a single sheet of instructions with very small, poorly photographed images that are of little help. My father partially assembled this wrong because of the directions and he has built model boats up to 6 feet long and a small sailboat. The man knows what he is doing but I woudn't wipe my A** with the directions, so some things got put together wrong.

Solution: On your typical windows pc, do a shift+prt scr and then paste it into the paint program. you can print the photo of the carrier on an 8.5" x 11" paper for very good clear photograph of the finished carrier. This may be better than reading the crummy directions.

Aside from that the build quality is just barely adequate enough. Our carrier had 2 holes that did not line up and had to be drilled out and even then it was difficult to put the bolts in- I had to use a hammer. Not a big deal, but I told you, you had to help some in building this carrier.

The carrier hardware kit uses lock and flat washers and nylon locking nuts as well. Hardware is ok, not junk. You do have to follow directions and some here have mentioned they overtightened some hardware that then broke. Not an issue for us. The carrier is not ideal but it should do the job.

I helped him load a 180 pound scooter on it and the ramp was easy enough to use. The ramp, as you see in the photo appears to lock in place and it does. It is prevented from swaying or sliding off the side of the carrier due to it's design. The spacing for the bolt holes at the bottom of the carrier where your scooter or motorcycle tires ride, is fixed, and it would be much better if there were a dozen more holes drilled into the side of the carrier to help set up the bolt spacing between the wheels in more of a custom way. Naturally, our scooter did not line up "just right" with both wheels having pins on either side of them, (probably this is typical) and so there is not an ideal setting for the scooter's two wheels to sit between two pins and leave the new carrier owner confident it would be prevented from rolling forwards or backwards off the stand. I suppose you can take matters into your hands and get out your drill if this bothers you. We removed one bolt and the scooter fit perfectly.

Then we noticed the mass of the scooter was not centered over the hitch. It was back heavy. And it stuck out more on one side (drivers) that we thought it should. So back in went the bolt and a different one came out instead. Not bad.The scooter's two wheels sat captured in the carrier and balanced perfectly without tie downs and now the load was perfectly centered.

This is a budge carrier, remember. It is lacking in some features. If you want more features, upgrade to the next level. But these steps you will probably have to evaluate on your own. I noticed the tie downs I bought at amazon for this carrier would not do the job. Know why? They were not ratcheting tie downs. The force on the straps could not be made tight enough without ratchets. So, have to order ratchet tie downs, but this is minor.

Paint is black and even covering, though it is thin and scratches easily. This will not be an issue, nor will the other items mentioned convince me in the end this was a bad purchase. Price was good and it requires some effort to make it work right. It can be done. There is just no hiding the fact that it is a Chinese made product that is inexpensively made.

La rampa viene golpeada. Fatal. Un riel viene chueco y doblado. Por lo que no puedo ensamblarlo al centro del equipo. El daño seguramente le restará resistencia y debilitará el equipo. Corriendo riesgos de que se rompa o safe en carretera. Iniciare la devolución. Espero no tener problemas con eso. Pésima revisión de la calidad en algo que debe de ser absolutamente seguro.
