Seattle area: Sportwing 2-bike wheel-holding rack $25

Local sales only.

The Highland Sportwing is a very light (aluminum posts) bike rack that breaks down to store in a very small place. It is quick to set up, load, and break down. I originally bought it for my Roadster since it fit in the trunk; I have since used it on an S, X and Y.

It holds the bikes by the wheels, so they hang level and don’t depend on frame geometry. You can adjust their position so it will fit about any bike, and you can keep bikes from interfering with each other. It will fit 1.25” or 2” receivers. It includes a hitch tightener that works well to remove sway (it’s different than what’s in the video, but shown in my pictures).

Things that might make it not work for you:

• The straps that hold the wheels don’t work if your bike has fenders very close to the tire. (It does work with most fenders, including the ones in the photo)
• It doesn’t tilt down, but with just one bike on the outside some hatches will open. When bikes are not loaded, you can easily remove the arms and it won’t block anything.

I will look around, but I don’t think I have a hitch pin for it. They're cheap, and if you have a Y and want a locking one you'll want one of the right-angle locks.

You can haul it away in the box I've been storing it in:

I have a "locking" hitch pin for it (it uses a large hex key).

Note the whole thing - including the Tesla Wall Connector box that I store it in - weighs 20lbs.

Price lowered to $20.
