I lik the fact I can hang my e-bike from this bracket and not have to worry about it falling. At 68 and 56 its all I can do to lift it up to the cradle. If you drop the height of the bracket down to 1/4 over the length between the tire centers, its easy to roll the e-bike up to the bracket and hang it. This was learned from trial and error. A normal bike would be easier to lift so you could just use the dimensions in the instruction sheet verbatim.

I installed these in our old garage and loved them so much, I took them when we moved! They even hang “hard to hang” Townie Electra cruiser type bikes. They’re sturdy, and we’ve had our bikes hanging within a couple feet of many exotic cars (for over 2 years now). To Install: I attached 1x4’s to the drywall in our garage. (I used a stud finder and secured them, with my own screws, to the studs beneath the drywall.) Then I used the included-bolts and secured those into the 1x4’s. This allowed me to hang the bikes where I wanted them… and didn’t restrict me to hanging them directly over the studs. Note: I’m a 31 year old woman with basic knowledge of tools/drills/levels/etc so anyone should be able to do this.

This is simple to install and the pivoting feature is why I got it. You will need to drill into the stud and screw in a lag bolt so if you don’t know what that means you might need help installing this

Great rack but missing hardware

Very well made, came with very heavy duty bolts...not sure that is needed unless your bike is made of lead..having said that...rather have too study than too flimsy. Getting the height right is a tad tricky...rear tire must be off the ground...but... not that hard... I mounted to wooden post in my garage, and it works outstanding!! I do wish you could lock it into place...as it does tend to move a bit when loading..but that is minor. Overall, really happy with it, does what I want...although I dont smile when loading my bike like in their videos... :-)

Very sturdy, easy to install, takes little effort to load the bike. Best bike mount I have ever owned. I bought 2. I bought this mount as it swings to the side allowing me to keep 2 bikes and get them in and out with my car in a one car garage. You need to pay abstention to the position of the pedals prior to flopping them but is easy to do. Handlebars become the limiting factor on side travel. I would give 5 stars if the lower / rear mount retained the wheel when I flop the bikes to the wall. Works great when the bike is perpendicular to the wall but as you pull it to the side - the rear wheel pops out. Still works -- but my wall is covered with tire marks. Needs to be deeper!

I installed two of these racks in a trailer. The rack is very easy to load the bike onto, and once the bike is mounted, it is very convenient to be able to pivot the bike right or left (superb design). This rack would work perfectly as designed if installed in a garage or house. But to use in a trailer that is being pulled down the road, around curves and over bumps, we added a few modifications. First we added easy-to-find velcro straps to prevent the front tire from coming out of the rack when we hit bumps. Second, we added a small chain and spring clip to secure the back tire in the lower mount. Finally, we added a chain and spring clip system to limit the swing of the rack and keep the bikes against the wall of the trailer when driving down the road. Everything unclips in seconds and the bikes are easily dismounted. This system is very convenient, since you can swing the bike in the rack to one side or the other to allow for storing other items in the trailer and for easy access to load and unload the bikes. The rack itself mounts easily to the wall and is very high quality. We expect many years of use from this product. We have had 4 very expensive bicycle racks for receiver hitches (obviously a different application), but this is the easiest rack we have owned to load and unload. Loading the bikes on this rack is more about technique than strength, which makes it perfect for those of us in our late 60s to load as well.

Fits my Fat E-Bike tires (except*) and I am able to pivot the bike out of the way so I can pull the car into the garage. This bike mount appears to be beefy, so it can hold up my heavy electric mountain bike. I highly recommend following the directions and put those lag bolts into the wall studs directly or suffer the consequences. I used two 1x6 boards mounted into the wall studs on each end, with the bike rack screwed into those boards, using the supplied lag bolts. *(Exception: that plastic pivot piece for the rear tire, ahem, does NOT fit a fat tire. It’s not even close. See pic. I don’t know what the manufacturer was thinking by including that obviously narrow rear pivot mount. I didn’t bother to install it since it’s worthless.). I gave this mount 4 stars because of that narrow rear tire pivot piece. That plastic piece is a major disappointment for what appears to be an otherwise great product.

These were so easy to install. The only thing missing from the directions were how far apart to space multiple racks but a quick site search found the answer on their HELP section. The fact that you can swivel them to the side is awesome and an important requirement for me was that my kids can get them on and off without me. Hanging bikes from the ceiling was not going to work for that. Now in the video the little kid made it looks effortless. I will day for my daughter who is shorter it was a little bit more challenging than how they have it shown, but a little practice should fix that up easily.

I was really really happy when I received my steady rack. It looked to be of good quality. I even told 3 of my friends about it. But when I went to install my Steady Rack Fender Version that’s when the problems started Once I figured out that I had to “bend” the Bike Fender supports to make it work/fit i was able to get my bike in the channel (The instructions didn’t tell you this part ). My bike rolls on nicely and steady rack seems to support the bike well. Now the bad… If you don’t have a socket driver set it’s almost impossible to screw in the bolts because the plastic housing is really close to where you screw the bolt heads so a regular Vise grips or wrench won’t work. Also (see photos) I measured my back wheel and the lower tire rest on the fender version was just a hair not wide enough. So the bike doesn’t pivot like they show because it just slips around and actually made small scratches on my rim!!! I Contacted Manufacturer asking for a larger size tire rest and they told me I could BUY one on their website for $9.99 each plus ship! Not happy with this!!! They charge ALOT for this product $$189 for two racks and for this price Steady Rack needs to stand behind their products better. This little wheel rest is a cheap piece of plastic that Probably costs them .25 cents to make.they could have made a customer happy. So this product went from being something that could have been great to being a big disappointment
