About ULTRA COMPACT TRUNK MOUNTED BIKE RACK
Overall Feedback:
86% positive
79% found the rack stable, but 21% experienced wobbling
During my test drive, I had no issues with stability while going over the driveway curb at different speeds.
The bike rides very stably.
The rack became wobbly and unstable with my mountain bike on both arms.
76% felt their bikes were secure, but 24% had concerns
There are no security features and the bike rack can be easily cut off from the car. It is not recommended to park the car with the bike on it in high-risk neighborhoods.
The rack is not secured to our vehicle in a way that would prevent theft of either or both.
86% found the installation process straightforward, but 14% encountered difficulties
It is easy to install and remove.
I am not skilled with assembling and installing things, but this product was simple to install.
The side or top straps may fit, but they still move slightly and can scratch the car's metal body.
85% found it easy to load and unload their bikes
The installation process is very easy and it only takes 30 seconds to attach it to the car.
I found it easy to use and it stores really small in my trunk without causing any scratches or dings in my paint.
I can have this bike carrier on and off my car in under 5 minutes, and it's very easy to use.
I found the product easy to use for transporting my bike on local rides.

79% liked the durable construction, but 21% found it flimsy
I used the bicycle-car-rack on my trunk for about 400 miles at 45-70 mph and it remained sturdy.
The plastic on the top grips eventually broke, but it did not affect the functionality of the rack as the straps still held everything together well when tight.
In August 2019, the button used to fold the unit collapsed inside the tube during the third failure.
I broke the plastic clasp while pulling the strap too sharply, indicating that the product is not durable enough.
80% were satisfied with the compatibility, but 20% faced issues
I received the product and found it was not compatible with my vehicle. However, I tried it and it fits perfectly.
I checked Allen's site and found that my Honda Civic Coupe is compatible according to the fit list.
The bike rack has compatibility issues with cruiser-type bikes and difficulties mounting bicycles without a top beam in the frame.
The product was not tested by Allen Sports before being put on the compatibility list and is not compatible with my car.
