im looking that for our bikes and to carry other stuff. they offer bike mounts to go with it.

i have a bike rack but since both of our bikes are the dual shock kind they are a pain to get on the current bike rack. so i want one that uses the tires. it said it will hold 500lbs, would that be considered tounge weight?

it look like a cool idea doesnt it? what do u guys think?

I always thought that people used those on pickups and vans.

Tounge weight is all the weight on the hitch. You'll be putting your load+ the weight of the bikes on your tounge.
