Load Six Bikes.
Alone. In Minutes.
Without Wrecking
Your Back.
Chuck Rack is the lightest vertical hitch bike rack we could engineer — built for real families with mixed bikes, small garages, and weekends too short to waste.
- Just 57 lbs — mount it solo, no spouse required
- Fits every bike in the family on the same rack
- Fold-flat storage — doesn't eat your garage
- Two-stage tilt keeps your trunk fully accessible
- Rubber-guarded hooks — no scratches, no rim damage
- Modular — adds a ski and snowboard carrier for 4-season use
Most Racks Are Awful.
Six reasons your last rack is sitting in the garage right now.
We got tired of every one of these. So we built the one that isn't.
Meet Chuck
The Lightest Vertical Hitch Bike Rack We Could Engineer.
Built for families who'd rather be on the trail than wrestling gear in the driveway.
We built Chuck because every rack we'd ever owned failed at something. Too heavy to lift alone. Too wide for the kid's bike. Too long for the garage. Too stubborn to tilt when loaded.
So we engineered the opposite.
Chuck hangs your bikes vertically by the handlebars — which means fat bikes, road bikes, kids' bikes, and e-bikes all fit the same way. No adapters. No tray adjustments. No "this one doesn't work with that one."
Under 33 pounds of powder-coated aluminum — light enough to mount solo, strong enough for four bikes (six with extenders).
It folds flat when you're done — so your garage stays a garage.
And when winter hits, the same base post swaps to our ski and snowboard carrier — the Chuck Bucket. One hitch mount. All four seasons.
Load up and go. That's the whole idea.
Every Part Of Chuck Solves Something Other Racks Won't.
Engineered from the ground up to fix what the rest of the industry gave up on.
Handlebar-Hang System
Most racks grip your bike somewhere that fights you — a tray that's too wide for the kid's bike, a wheel strap that bites the spokes, a frame clamp that scratches the paint. Chuck hangs every bike by the handlebars. Rubber-guarded hooks clamp just inside the stem. Your tires never touch the rack. Your frame stays untouched. And because every bike has bars, every bike fits the same way — mountain, road, gravel, kids', fat bikes, e-bikes.
Powder-Coated Aluminum Build
Traditional tray racks run 50–80 lbs because they're built out of steel. Chuck is 27 lbs of powder-coated aluminum — strong enough to hold 280 lbs of bikes, light enough that one person mounts it, loads it, and pulls it off without a spouse, a friend, or a trip to the chiropractor. The whole reason you'd avoid using your rack? We engineered it out.
Fold-Flat Storage
When the season ends, most racks become the biggest thing in your garage. Chuck folds flat against the wall — or tucks behind the shelving — and disappears until you need it again. No more Tetris-ing the garage around a rack that's the size of a refrigerator.
Two-Stage Tilt (Up to 90°)
Four bikes hanging and you need to grab the cooler? Chuck's two-stage tilt drops the whole system away from the trunk — up to 90° — without unloading a single bike. Pop the hatch, grab what you need, close up, keep going.
Anti-Wobble Hitch Mount
That sway most racks develop once you hit 65 mph? Gone. Chuck's anti-wobble hitch stud tightens the rack to your receiver — no play, no rattle, no white-knuckling the steering wheel on the interstate. One customer ran Chuck over 5,000 miles of road trip. Another took it 2,000 miles to Ragbrai. Held like a champ, both times.
Modular Base Post (Bike ↔ Ski Swap)
Chuck's base post stays in your hitch. The rack itself swaps out — bikes come off, the Chuck Bucket ski and snowboard carrier slides on. One hitch mount, one system, all four seasons. No separate rack for winter. No garage full of gear you only use half the year. (More on the Chuck Bucket below.)
Rubber-Guarded Contact Points
Every point where Chuck touches your bike has a rubber guard. No metal-on-paint, no spoke pressure, no rim damage. Carbon bars get the same protection as aluminum. For extra peace of mind, we sell neoprene sleeves as an add-on.
Chuck Goes On In Minutes.
Bikes Load In Seconds.

One Hitch Mount. Every Season.
Meet the Chuck Bucket — the snowboard and ski carrier that swaps onto the same base post as your bike rack. One system. All year. Zero garage clutter.
Same mount. Same family. Different sport.
When the snow starts falling, most families have two choices: cram the skis into the back of the SUV (and lose the cargo space you actually need) or buy a second roof rack (and spend another weekend installing it).
Chuck doesn't make you choose.
The Chuck Bucket holds up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards — and it mounts on the exact same base post your bike rack uses all summer. Pull the bike rack off. Slide the Bucket on. Done. Your hitch never has to know the season changed.
Same aluminum build. Same fold-flat storage. Same anti-wobble hitch stud. The only thing different is what you're hauling.
And because both pieces share the same base, we put together a bundle that makes it cheaper to grab them together than to buy one now and the other later.
The Families Who Actually Own It Keep Saying The Same Thing.
"Never going back."
"I took this rack on a trip that exceeded my 4,000 mile estimate, going just over 5,000 miles. It performed very well. Customer service was fantastic, like nothing I've ever experienced. These guys care."
"Just came back from Ragbrai using Chuck's 6-bike rack. Over 2,000 miles driven and this thing held our bikes like a champ. Awesome product."
"We've owned the Chuck rack 2 years now. We used to have a heavy tray rack and it was such a pain not only to load but take off our car. Never going back."
"I've been racking bikes and skis on cars since the mid-80s. I have used almost everything. The simplicity to use the racks and transfer them is unmatched. It seems to have been designed with me in mind."
"The Chuck rack is the most versatile bike rack I've ever owned. Holds mountain and road bikes. No fussing with sliding trays. It's also the lightest bike rack that can carry 4 bikes."
"This is an awesome product. The ability to change the bucket with the bike rack is the reason why I purchased. It's super light and easy to remove if you need your hitch. 10/10 product if you're active year round on the mountains."
"Took Chuck on a 3-week cross-country trip. Four bikes, two kids, one rack. Not a single wobble, not a single scratch. This thing is built like it means it."
"Kids' bikes, my mountain bike, my wife's road bike — all on one rack, no adapter headaches. Chuck figured out what everyone else got wrong. Worth every penny."
Still Have Questions? Good.
We Answered Them.
Real questions from real buyers, answered straight.
Yes. Every design decision was built around it. The rack weighs 27 pounds — lighter than most kids' bikes — and the base post installs separately, so you're never lifting the whole thing at once. Moms, teens, and solo parents load Chuck every day. It's the main reason we built it this way.
For most e-bikes, yes. The center hook handles 80 pounds, the outer hooks hold 60 pounds each. If you've got a Class 3 e-bike pushing 70+ pounds or a frame with a mid-mounted display that blocks the handlebars, email us a photo and we'll confirm fit before you buy. No guessing.
Yes. Because Chuck hangs bikes by the handlebars, tire size doesn't matter. 20" kids' bikes, 27.5" mountain bikes, 29ers, fat bikes, road bikes with drop bars — all hang the same way. No tray adjustments. No adapters to buy.
Every contact point has rubber guards, so metal never touches your bars. For carbon bars, wrap the contact area with bar tape or add one of our neoprene sleeves. Simple, cheap, protects the investment.
Yes. Chuck has a two-stage tilt that drops the loaded rack away from your vehicle — up to 90 degrees. Pop the hatch, grab your cooler, close up, keep driving. No need to unload a single bike.
Built for it. Chuck's anti-wobble hitch stud tightens to your receiver so there's no sway at highway speeds. One customer took it 5,000 miles. Another did 2,000 miles across Ragbrai. No drama, no loosening, no bikes going anywhere.
Any vehicle with a standard 2-inch hitch receiver. If yours is 1.25", a hitch adapter is available. Not sure what you've got? Send us a photo of your hitch area and we'll confirm fit before you order.
Chuck folds flat. Lean it against a garage wall, tuck it behind shelving, hang it on a pegboard — it disappears until next season. No more rack taking over half the garage.
Yes — that's the whole point of the modular base post. Your bike rack lifts off, the Chuck Bucket slides on. One hitch mount. All four seasons. You don't buy a second rack for winter.
30-day returns. If Chuck doesn't fit your vehicle, your bikes, or your life — send it back. (A $49 return handling fee applies.) Every rack is backed by a 2-year limited warranty on defects, with replacement parts available. We've got you.
Those are great tray-style racks — but they're tray-style. That means heavy (often 50+ pounds), adapters for different tire sizes, and they don't fold flat. Chuck is built around the opposite philosophy: lightweight aluminum, handlebar-hang so any bike fits, folds flat, and modular with our ski carrier. Different tool for a different job.
