Hollywood Racks E3 Express 3 Bike Trunk Mount Rack – Reviews

So just got the rack, very easy to mount up. It’s pre-assembled which I loved.

Pros – already assembled,
fits securely on your trunk,
can mount up to 3 standard bikes,
easy to load on and off (bikes)

Cons – if you have a custom or suspension setup bike, you’ll have a few issues securing it.
it’s more designed to hold 2 adult bikes (with suspension) then 3. (3 normal standard bikes will fit, 1 being a kids)
the straps that hold the bikes are not that great, I HIGHLY suggest getting a few bungy straps/cords/additional lines to help hold it.

Addtional info: So i like the product, it does what its supposed to do and for the price cant be beat. I just wish they had a better strap setup to hold the bikes in place. the bike closest to the trunk never bounced or felt unsecure however the bike furtherest away was bouncing like crazy. I went and bought a few bungy cords (short 1 foot ones) and re secured them again, now the bikes are pretty much solid and even going 65 mph with bumps, th

This rack was very easy to get onto the trunk of the Chevy Malibu I rented. What proved significantly more difficult was getting 3 bikes onto the rack. 2 are extra small frames and wouldn’t easily slide back. I wouldn’t think this rack would work with youth cycles. Because we didn’t feel like removing pedals, we were only able to get 2 bikes onto the rack, not 3. It really put a damper on the weekend.

I used the bike rack on my Honda Accord the weekend I got it for a long trip, 450+ miles and it worked great. It held on to my bikes and that’s all I was asking for. It was a little hard to get smaller bikes (kids bikes) on the rack, but all in all, it’s a very nice rack! Short trips to the park should be a piece of cake!

I know many of the reviews recommend the Express rack for only 2 bikes, I just thought I’d mention that I had no problem using it with 3 bikes: a 26″ Trek mountain bike and two 24″ Trek mountain bikes. I did not have to remove pedals. My car is a Kia Sedona minivan. The bikes did not come close to bumping against the car and the straps did not come loose on a 2-hour trip nor on the return. I was impressed with the solid build quality and the metal buckles.

A potential downside is that the racks are a bit far apart. For both of the smaller bikes I put one rack through the frame near the seat and had to rest the bike frame on top of the other rack. I’m also not sure how long the rubber belts will last, though I guess you can eventually replace them with short nylon belts.

Here are a few tips:

If you’re worried about the straps coming loose you can knot the strap over the buckle — that’s what I did.

Make sure to use the extra safety strap.
