I purchased this a week before I left to drive from Mass to Florida. I had it on the back of my 2021 Audi Q5, with a receiver that wasn’t factory. The moto tote didn’t skip a beat, towed my 2026 S1000R over 1000 miles in two days without any issues whatsoever. I recommend spending the money on this because Id trust it going from here to California next, thanks guys!

I bought a Takaria MX5 and without the battery it weighs approximately 124 lbs, and it’s in that weird range where your options for a carrier are limited: most are rated for bikes up to about 65-ish lbs, or a dirt bike carrier for up to 400 lbs, both of which don’t meet my needs. This carrier is really perfect in size; it’s adjustable to the bike length, and fits my car (VW GTI) much better than a huge aluminum monstrosity.

I had used my Max+ and Tie Downs for some short trips, but this summer we went West. 5600 miles though 16 states carrying our GS 1250 on a F-150. Close to 2000 miles on the bike in South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and Canada . Next year Southern Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. Great products!

I installed the Mototote Sport Carrier on the front of my 3500 pickup. It works as I had hoped. My TW200 rides securely and the carrier provides confidence that it will handle the load. Assembly was easy. Loading/unloading the bike is easy. Removing the carrier is easy.

Even though I ordered the wrong bundle these ties downs work great. I am securing a Yamaha TW200 to the Mototote Sport carrier on the front of my 3500 pickup. The rear tire tie down works great as is. I mistakenly ordered the “Sport” tie down kit which I discovered has front tie downs made for “Sport” type bikes and these do not work well with a TW200 that has Bark-Buster type hand protectors on the handle bars. I ended up modifying the front tie downs using 3/16” chain quick links (two of them on each ratchet) replacing the nylon strap that is supposed to slide over the ends of the handlebars on a Sport Bike. Then I added a single 5/16” quick link on each side and this 5/16” quick link is what attaches to the hooks on the carrier. All in all this worked out better than if I had ordered the right straps to begin with….but if I was doing it over I’d just order the right straps.
They do secure the bike well. I am happy I got them AND happy I got the Sport Carrier from Mototote.

Just quality of everything , from packing to welding seams . Quality quality quality . Assembly in 20 minutes . Spitting overall image . Love it .

I managed to get rear ended at a stop sign recently. Nothing too crazy, just a small bump. Took a look at the rack and sure enough it had taken every bit of the impact with grace. The main crossmember was crimped and bent about 10 degrees, however nothing else was even remotely moved or busted. Ended up protecting my truck as well from any damage at all. The replacement cross member made it to me within just a few days and it went back together without any issue. Super stoked. I would happily buy another mototote again.

Works as advertised. Great product.

Last week I loaded my brand new 2025 KTM 390 Adventure "R" onto my m3 motorcycle hitch carrier and drove 2200 miles from Hickory NC to Bozeman MT. The bike never budged, solid hold the entire way. I rode the mountains for 3 days loaded up and made the return journey with the same results. Solid hold the 4400 miles driven! I even loaded and unloaded by myself, incredible!

Works great. The only issues I have are
1) anyone could just come and take it while I’m out on a ride. So some kind of anti theft lock mechanism would be nice. 2) is that the 0 wobble bolt comes loose during a long drive. It’s not going to go anywhere but would be nice if it stayed at the torque I put it. (Turn until it stops as per instructions) I might use semi thread lock in the future for long trips. I would absolutely buy it again. It’s very solid and well thought out

I drive a slightly lifted F250 and loading the bike up(sometimes on my own) always made me nervous. I used this attachment to lower it a bit and make it easier to push up the ramp. Product works great.

Colis reçu en 5 jours en France, montage facile y compris des accessoires éclairage led et plaque immatriculation, tout fonctionne parfaitement, la moto monte et descend facilement et le maintien est parfait, seule la tige de verrouillage pourrait être améliorée car peu pratique mais c'est un petit détail :)

I purchased the Max carrier for a 6000 mile trip to haul my KTM 500 EXC across the US for a trip from MI to UT and CA and back to MI. The carrier was simple to load and very stable, including on some very rough roads. My only point on potential product improvement is the mounting bolt and washer for the hitch receiver. I am using a GMC 3500 HD pickup for the haul vehicle, and the 2.5" receiver requires a larger washer (essentially a heavy gauge fender washer) on the bolt head side of the bolt to properly tighten the carrier to the receiver. I had a fender washer in my stock of nuts and bolts, so arguably a very minor consideration. Including a larger washer in the kit to accommodate 2.5"receivers could be a nice change.

The Max version of the carrier is likely overkill for my KTM enduro, although I wanted future proofing for my street bikes. Overall a great product and kudos to my brother for encouraging me to go the Mototote route vs. the cheaper (build quality and performance) options at the tool stores.

Bought the basic model for my smaller moto. I liked the upswept frame and front tie down bar design, also liked that front tie bar is underneath the bars rather than at the midpoint. Rack was shipped quickly and arrived quickly. Assembly was fairly quick and easy. Light kit installed easily, works well. Have somewhat limited miles of use with the rack but did get in the interstate and everything seemed super solid, no issues. Only downside was rack sustained some superficial damage in shipping, felt it could’ve been packaged a little better. I thought about only giving 4 stars due to shipping damage… but the rack is nice and should get 5 stars.

I don't normally write reviews, but was impressed enough, I will. This is for the double motorcycle rack.

I will start with, on its face, the rack seems expensive. Once you receive it and see the quality and attention to detail, it is actually a good value. If you are looking at this rack, you are likely cross-shopping the other high quality competitor. I have seen both in person and the other manufacture makes a perfectly good product, but this is big step up in design and execution. I think the price premium is well worth it.

Starting with opening the box and assembly. Mototote has the best directions ever (yes some of us read and follow them). Also, instead of a bag with a bunch of hardware, you get individually wrapped and labeled bags with the step number on them. Assembly is easy, there are even torque specs. Figure 30 minutes for the double rack moving a a moderate pace.

Loading and unloading is not difficult aside from there being two bike and having to reach a bit further. The rack is stable when driving no movement.

I did have one minor issue, and not the rack. I put the rack on the back of my 1 ton dually which has a factory hitch rated at 12,000 pounds with a 1200 pound tongue rating, I discovered something. Dodge, true to form has a note to be found only on the original sticker that the hitch is only rated for 600 pounds tongue weight without a weight distribution hitch. I find it truly baffling that a 1 ton truck that is designed to be used for towing (and has a 5,000 pound load capacity in the bed) would come with a hitch with such a low tongue rating (my VW Touareg has a 750 pound tongue rating). Net result, I bent the hitch (see photos) and had to ratchet strap it up to make sure I got home okay (did about 500 miles).

So great rack, my only caveat is make absolutely sure your vehicle has sufficient suspension support for a load cantilevered out with a two bike rack and the hitch will actually support it. In the meantime, I get to buy a new hitch to replace my factory junk hitch. (Before and after shots are included.)
