EcoHitch & bike rack for Ford C-Max

Our hidden EcoHitch trailer hitch is the perfect accessory to haul your bikes without the hassle of roof and strap-mounted bicycle racks.  As an authorized retailer of Thule and Yakima Torklift Central carriers all the industry-leading hitch-mounted racks to fit your vehicle.

Here are the top seven reasons hitch-mounted racks are the best way to Get Out And Go biking your way:

1. Forgetting about the bikes on the roof
It is common to drive into your garage and forget your bikes are on the roof. This is a costly expense, leading to potential damage to your bikes, your rack, your car and your garage.

2. Drive through constraints
With bikes mounted on the roof, you are limited on the locations you can go. There are a lot of drive throughs including your favorite Starbucks and other restaurants that have a low clearance and you can’t conveniently drive through them with your bikes mounted on the roof of your car. Requiring you to park and walk in.

3. Roof and strap-mounted bike racks are known to be troublesome 
The following are commonly used terms to describe roof and strap-mounted bicycle racks:

Roof Whistle:  The whistling noise that is caused by a roof-mounted bike rack
Strap-Flapper:  Strap-mounted bike rack whose straps flap when a vehicle is driven
Back Buster:  A roof-mounted bike rack that is inconvenient to load and unload
Paint Chipper:  A strap or roof-mounted bike rack that can chip a vehicle’s paint  

These troublesome phrases do not apply to hitch-mounted bicycle racks.  By mounting to a hitch, loading and unloading is easy and you don’t have to worry about chipping your paint or any whistling besides your own.
