Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Hollywood Racks Destination E. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

9 reasons to buy

  • Reviewers and owners say bikes remain stable in transit.
  • This rack is compatible with step-through frames and bikes with fenders.
  • Mounting heavy e-bikes is easier thanks to the included loading ramp.
  • Owners say the rack is easy to assemble.
  • Installation is tool-free, including the no-wobble hitch-tightening system.
  • Owners think the Destination E is well-built, and a tester says it's in great condition after one year of use.
  • The rack's curved tray layout has a self-centering effect that helps to keep bikes more stable than typical flat racks.
  • The Destination E has three straps to secure the wheels and prevent wobble. Most platform racks of this type have two.
  • The Destination E tilts 90 degrees with or without bikes loaded, allowing trunk access.

4 reasons not to buy

  • Hollywood Racks states the rack fits 4.5” tires, but this requires the additional purchase of longer straps.
  • Reviewers struggle to fit 4” tires as the included straps are too short, despite being rated tires for up to 4" wide.
  • The Destination E is only compatible with 2” hitches.
  • An owner says the pin used to fold and unfold the rack is difficult to reach.

Bottom line

The Hollywood Racks Destination E is a platform hitch rack for 2" hitches. It accommodates two 70lb bikes, tires up to 4.5", 50" wheelbases, and frame tubing between one and two inches in diameter. Fat tires require the purchase of longer straps. Owners praise the rack's sturdy build, easy assembly, toolless installation, 90-degree tilt, and versatile bike compatibility. Complaints are minor, but versions of this rack made between 2022 and 2023 were recalled due to defective cam-lever bolts. Overall, owners and experts praise the rack's quality and features and feel that, though expensive, it's fairly priced.
