    Take your bikes anywhere with trunk bike racks from ERIK'S. Affordable, versatile, and easy to use, trunk racks are one of the most accessible ways to transport bikes without a hitch receiver or roof system. Strap the rack to your vehicle's trunk, hatchback, or rear door, load your bikes, and you are ready to go. No permanent installation, no specialized equipment, and no commitment to a single vehicle. Trunk racks go wherever you go, on whatever car you happen to be driving.

    Key Features to Look For

    Trunk racks involve a deceptively simple concept, but the quality of the components and design details make a significant difference in usability, security, and how well the rack protects your vehicle and bikes.

    • Fit and Vehicle Compatibility Not every trunk rack fits every vehicle. Spoilers, rear wipers, angled hatches, and integrated tail lights all affect how well a rack attaches and how securely it sits. Always check the manufacturer's fit guide for your specific make, model, and year before purchasing. Many brands offer online fit checkers that take the guesswork out of compatibility.

    • Arm Padding and Paint Protection The hooks and arms that contact your vehicle need generous, soft padding to prevent scratching your paint and trim. Look for thick rubber or foam padding on all contact points, and check that the padding covers the full length of each arm rather than just the tips.

    • Bike Cradle Design The arms that hold your bikes should be padded, adjustable, and spaced wide enough to accommodate different frame sizes without bikes leaning into each other. Some racks use individual cradles with adjustable positions, while others use a single hanging bar. Cradle-style designs generally hold bikes more securely and reduce frame-to-frame contact.

    • Strap Quality and Adjustment The straps that secure the rack to your vehicle and the straps that hold your bikes are the most critical components on any trunk rack. Look for wide, durable webbing with smooth-operating buckles that are easy to tighten and release, even with cold hands. Strap ends should be long enough to reach anchor points on a variety of vehicle shapes.

    • Weight Capacity Most trunk racks are designed for standard bikes in the 30 to 35 pound range. If you plan to carry heavier bikes, including some electric bikes or full suspension mountain bikes, confirm the rack's per-bike and total weight rating before loading up. Overloading a trunk rack puts stress on your vehicle's trunk lid and the rack's attachment points.
