Freestanding 5 Bike Rack

Nicely designed product.The packaging and instructions is best in class.

PACKAGINGQuality. The product was delivered in a slim, well-reinforced box. Each piece was individually wrapped in thick plastic. I was surprised how light it was at only 35 lbs. each. The quick-release pins to secure the hooks were missing but customer service, described later, helped me ultra fast.ASSEMBLYOk. Instructions were clear and overall it was easy. There are a lot of screws and washers though. Very light, yet sturdy. Tips: 1. There is a difference between the “upper” and “lower” vertical supports in that the upper has a plastic end cap. At first we didn’t recognize the difference and had challenges with rework later. 2. If you can grab a 10 mm socket bit for your drill you’ll be in heaven and save yourself a ton of tedious ratcheting. 3. You will need one 10 mm socket to screw in and another 10 mm wrench to hold the nut while you screw in. 4. Loosely tighten the screws in a particular section until everything is fitting together.USAGEYou can easily position the hooks with quick release pins during assembly to best accommodate the spacing for your bikes and change them easily and quickly by removing the pin (not under load of course). We have four bikes so we did that and stowed away the 5th hook. From a practicality perspective it seems 5 bikes would be possible but it would certainly be tight and would probably tangle things up. But I understand people put 6 bikes on here when ordering the 6 hook model. But for us 4 bikes is great and we don’t have to move any other bikes to pull down the one we want. Our bikes are heavy and the rack is stable. It is not for kids though and the manual says that. It takes a little height and strength to lift the bike wheel up onto the hook. My 13 year old can unhook his 10 speed bike in a controlled manner with effort but cannot put it back up.CUSTOMER SERVICEAMAZING. I’ve never experienced better customer service. I emailed them about the missing pins at about 9PM. I had a response within 3 hours. I had the part shipped out the next day and it arrived a couple of days later.Overall I recommend this product and this company.

Like I said it lives up to the weight. I can see 5 bikes on it but ,y 3 bikes are good

The media could not be loaded. Thia rack is exactly what I expected. It is great quality. It was packed well. The instructions were clear and it is easy to assemble. It took me about 30 min.I like how it saves floor space. It takes about 1/2 the amount of space as having the bikes on the floor, in stands.This is sold as a 5 bike rack. While you CAN fit 5 bikes on it, as you can see in the pictures and video, I would not call it easy. I have 1 large 29er MTB, 1 Medium 27.5 MTB, 1-24" MTB, 1 small adult road bike and 1-24" road bike. I do not see how you would fit 4 adult bikes on the rack. I will likely use it as a 4 bike rack. Unless IFigure out a better way to get them to "nest" while keeping it "easy" to put them on and take them off.The space saving function is a trade of for how hard it is to hang the bikes in the rack. I bet my wife will struggle a bit getting her bike up there. The top of the rack is just under 6' 9". If I hang hers on the outside the rack instead of the middle she might be able to do it.Overall happy with the rack and it is exactly what I expected.

I live in a small 1 bed apt and have 4 mountain bikes, a size L 27.5 DH bike, a size L 27.5 enduro bike, a dirt jumper bike, and a size XL 29er trail bike. All 4 bikes fit comfortably on the rack. Its definitely crowded on there but as long as you hang each adjacent bike from the opposite tire so the handlebars dont hit it works perfectly. I’m not sure I’d loving hanging 5 bikes from this but 4 bikes works perfectly with the hooks moved to the right spot.Was super easy to build and its very sturdy

Tolerances on the hardware were unacceptably bad, especially at this price, but otherwise not a bad bike rack.

I want to let you all know how please I am with my new bike rack. I am an almost 70 year old female and found it easy to assemble. Even without lettering the packets, they were easy to figure out. It would have been helpful to know exactly where to put the back bike bar, but even guessing on my part worked out just fine. My new bike rack holds 4 bikes perfectly (3 mountain bikes and a 1960's Schwinn) but if you just have street bikes, it will hold all 5 I am sure. I like to support US small businesses and should I need storage solutions in the future, i will definitely think of you all first.

I have a small apartment and must store my four bikes in my living room and I need them to take up as little space as possible. I can't imaging a more space efficient solution than this bike rack. It's sturdy and about as good as I can imagine a rack being at this price point, with one exception that I'll mention below.ASSEMBLY: The rack took about an hour and a half to assemble. The instructions were clear, but you do have to pay attention to each step, because it's easy to make a mistake and have to back track. I have just one nit to pick with this stand, and that is that the bolts used are longer than necessary, so it takes longer than necessary to screw each nut onto each bolt. There are many bolts, so it really adds up and feels like a needless waste of time.DAILY USE: The stand is advertised to hold up to five bikes, and while it can, the more you have, the harder it is to take down the bikes in the middle. I have four and even like that, the it's harder to take down the two middle bikes than I'd like due to handlebars being in the way, etc. It's an acceptable compromise for me since I'm of average height and am reasonably strong. For shorter people and for people who aren't as strong, it could be more difficult to take down the bikes, unless the bikes are really light. That's a disadvantage inherent to all bike stands that hold bikes vertically.
