Hitch Racks: Bikes often sway, rattle, or even make contact with each other. Theft is easier with open frames exposed.  There have been many stories of welds breaking from heavy loads bouncing down the road.  A large bicycle hitch system failure can create a driving accident.  These should be checked frequently for cracks and bends.  Bike-Hook: Holds bikes upright and close to the van. Once the rear doors are shut, the mounts are locked in place—can’t be removed until reopened.  A stainless steel safety cable is added for extra protection.   

🔍 1. It Mounts to the Doors, Not the Hitch Traditional racks depend on your vehicle’s hitch receiver and often extend several feet behind your van. They can rattle, sway, and get in the way every time you need to open your back doors.Bike-Hook mounts directly to the top of your rear doors using your bike’s front fork. No swinging gates. No drilling. No hassle.

Remove your bike’s front tire while it’s on the ground, and replace it with your Bike-Hook front fork mount.Make sure the fork is aligned properly and avoid overtightening until you’ve found the correct mounting position.
