Review 1 for Bell Sports Hitchbiker Four-Bike Folding Hitch Rack

Sloppy Fit - Shakes and Sways - Not as described

Terrible product - do not buy. Not too hard to assemble, but it does not fits together tight. The hitch connection and the quick realse are so loose and sloppy. There is no way to tighten it up. Even without bikes on it, it shakes and sways from side to side. With bikes on it, it sways making the bikes bang into the car.
The online picture appears to show that the arms will fold down, so you can leave the rack on when the bikes are off. This is incorrect. If you zoom in on the picture you will see that the upper angle is held with two a solid bolts (the only solid connection on this rack.) This rack folds downward from the bottom angle, which would allow you to open the tailgate.

Review 2 for Bell Sports Hitchbiker Four-Bike Folding Hitch Rack

Better than I expected

I went to Walmart to check what they had in stock before ordering. Originally eyeing the Allen hitch bike rack but after looking at packaging between the products, I chose the Bell- also the well known name. In summary:
Pro's- Easy to assemble looking at the instructions -3 bolts w/ tools provided.
The bolted hitch/pin is great- absolutely no wobble- must be bolted from the passenger side.
Sturdy w/ 3 bikes.
Easy to place and secure bikes on rails.
Con's- Quick release pin was tight but hit it to get in- after that, it worked well. Probably a sliver- better to be tight than lose.
Could be tight for 4 bikes.
Surprised how fast to throw the bikes on, Velcro secure and leave. Look forward to more trips with the bikes.

I purchased this 4 bike rack for our 4 bikes and it only fits 3 bikes. As a family of 4 bike riders this is a problem!!! Someone doesn't get to take their bike :(
Disappointed.

Great rack for the price.

I read several reviews before deciding to purchase this bicycle rack. It is everything that the good reviews stated. It is secure and stable as long as the mounting bolt is tightened. I decided to go with the four bike rack even though I thought I would rarely put more that two on it. Smart choice as I have had to put four bikes on it already.

We bought this rack as a means of transporting long distances during moves and for leisure. When it was purchased my husband wasn't home to help me learn how to use it. I was easially able to assemble it without him. There are a few common tools needed to assemble it correctly, but it is just a few different sized wrenches or sockets. I was also able to easially mount it on my 1 1/4 in reciever WITHOUT drilling any holes into my reciever. I did have some difficulty getting 4 bikes to fit but with a little work was able to do so. It is a snug fit for 4 bikes.

Don't buy this product

I bought this product to haul our bikes on a camping trip and like the fact that it said easy to use and little assembly required. What a joke. I don't know what type of reese hitch it was made for but it doesn't fit a standard hitch. We were counting on using it but first we had to redrill the hole to make it fit. If you don't have a drill press and aren't handy to make this fit tight do not buy this product. I am very disappointed and will not by any other bell products.
