Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Saris Door County. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

10 reasons to buy

With its electronic lift, the Door County minimizes manual handling of heavy e-bikes and bikes, making it well-suited to injured, older, smaller, and disabled users.

The Door County features its own stop lights, turn signals, and running lights.

Users can load 2x e-bikes on the Door County, weighing up to 60 lb each.

The Door County accommodates tires up to 3” wide and wheelbases up to 48” long.

Testers praise the Door County’s sturdy build and on-road stability.

This rack tilts to allow access to your vehicle’s rear door, even with bikes loaded.

Integrated locks secure bikes to the Door County rack - and the rack to your car.

The Door County is fully compatible with bikes that have fenders mounted.

For ease of storage, the Door County folds up, then rolls away on its own wheels.

The Door County arrives almost completely assembled.

5 reasons not to buy

For taller vehicles, the Saris Door County may not lower to ground level.

An expert was disappointed that the Door County doesn’t fit tires over 3” wide.

The Door County ain’t cheap, with its electronic bells and whistles.

Saris state clearly that the Door County is not compatible for use with RVs.

An expert found it difficult to attach Saris’ ‘lobster claw’ to a small-framed e-bike.

Bottom line

The Saris Door County is designed for owners of heavy e-bikes and bikes. A motorized lift takes the load off of owners with injuries, decreased strength, a disability, or back and shoulder problems. It’s powered via a standard 7-pin trailer connector, along with this rack’s own signal and stop lights. On vehicles of average height, this rack will lower to ground level to eliminate the need to lift your bike. While not designed to fit tires over 3”, one tester did successfully fit 4” tires. The Door County requires a 2” hitch.
