Fantastic video. People should take notes on how to do a product review.
Straight to the point and very informative.

[@altoSax4]

Thanks for a great review of your bike rack, and the comparison info at the end. Very informative. You have a good knack for this, and deserve more than 100 subscribers!

[@gloaded1963]

Thanks for your review. I appreciate your insight

[@peterwright179]

Great video! I never comment but felt I had to. I spent quite a bit of time reading about all the racks you compared to and it helped me settle on the best rack. I never realized how bad the lights and LP are obscured. That will probably be my side project.

[@motopaulo]

Thank you for this thorough presentation. You brought insightful rigging and installation nuances that really added value!

[@MikeJordanUnCamplicated]

Very well thought out and presented review with some great DIY. If you do more videos like this, I am sure you will grow your channel. Kudos for including all of the links for the stuff in the video. That is a pet peeve of mine

[@RichardMaryKerslake]

Excellent review. Thanks

[@johnshinstock1975]

Great honest review, thank you!

[@jenniferdobson3077]

Excellent review! Especially appreciate the side-by-side comparison at the end. Going with the Destination E here! Thanks again.

Excellent job on the video. Well done.

[@stephendifeliciantonio8269]

wow. great video. Been agonizing with some time now on making the right choice. This helped a lot. thanks.

[@ronchappell216]

Thanks for a great video. My compliments to you for your enhancements - they're all thoughtful. I just bought this rack a couple of days ago and chose it for basically the same reasons you point out. I'm glad to hear you're happy with it after using it. One detail I also do is use the velcro hold down straps for the top bars to help hold the bar in place when the bikes are mounted. It's just a helpful way to keep the flaps from being loose and could possible help if the bar detached for some reason. Again, thanks for the informative video!

[@lhgross48]

Thanks for this. Good tips

[@Jillybean620]

Excellent video and review!

[@sonsandgrandsons]

Great delivery. Lots of great information I need to make a decision as a 70 yo e-biker. Agree with Mark. I need a ramp

[@lambanlaa]

Awesome! I didn't see your summary/comparison chart the first time I skimmed the video, but I came to the same conclusions--before I showed the whole thing to the hubs. Great, honest review. We're going to replace our Sport Rider for our Rad Rover 6+s with this, partially based on your review. Thanks!

[@haroldjackson6848]

Have you tried the Quikr Mach 2 bike rack? Please add it to your comparison chart. Thanks.

3:47 I also bought the rack. I have safety concerns about their optional light bar not working with my Tesla Model Y. HollywoodRacks claims they can’t help with any solution and so it was returned. I’m curious if your rack’s indicator lights would solve the Tesla compatibility issue? What brand of lights are you using?

[@stevenzraick499]

Very well done! What is the best way to ask you some more questions? I have two Lectric eBikes weighing 64 pounds each and Toyota FJ Cruiser with a rear tire mount. None of the racks you compared would seem to be compatible or anything else you can recommend?

[@SimonFontanilla-ez6mp]

Hey Steven, I'm in the same situation as you with a Toyota FJ and 2 e-bikes. Did you happen to find out if the Hollywood Destination E rack will work???

[@marksTips466]

Hey Kevin, I liked your review very much! I wish you would have compared this Hollywood Rack to the Yamika Onramp. Who mostly buys e-bikes? Seniors. Who can't lift a heavy e-bike on a bike ramp? Seniors or anyone that for some reason doesn't have the strength. So ramps are super important for these people. When you showed the hassles of loading the bikes using the ramp, and then ended up saying that basically, you don't use the ramp because of the hassles, I said to myself - forget this bike rack. One last point. I care very much about how the rack looks on the back of the car when not carrying bikes. I think this rack comes up way too high and looks ugly. So I actually want to thank you since I might have bought this rack (and been disappointed) had I not seen your well-done review. All the best!
