can you haul this on a trunk mounted bike rack?

Yep. We put it on a trunk mounted rack and drove 1200 miles w/o a problem. It mounted just like any other bike.

Yes! I put my bike and grandsons bike on my car with a truck mount bike carrier. It takes a little bit of patience and sort of wiggling it on at just the right angle. Once you've done it a couple of times, peice of cake. Best thing I ever purchased!

Good day, while the rack could be mounted on the front of a vehicle, we do recommend only using it in it's intended capacity, which is installed on the rear of the vehicle. Thanks!

I mounted it to the luggage rack on the back of my bike...don't see how else you could do it.

Not easily. You could use a cable and loop it around the frame of the bike and the trailer hitch, maybe?

You can use it. However it is not designed to quickly place the bike on and off of it.

This is a very stout and heavy piece. It's not appropriate as a towing extension but should be fine for a cargo carrier. My bike rack is about 50lb itself. Add two mountain bikes and your up to 150lb total. Handles this very easily.

I have not tried it for that as I have a Swagman bike rack which is really great...purchased through Amazon.

Yes you can, I returned this carrier and bought a much better quality Yakima carrier. It is heavy duty and carries 4 bikes. Think it's worth the extra $$.

you will have to purchase the rack moutable equipment to make it that way. it does not come to you as rack mountable.

Funny you should ask that question. That is exactly what I had in mind when I purchase the bike rack. I thought I could move the cargo box as far to one side as possible giving enough room for the bike rack. It does leave enough room to mount the bike rack but not loaded with a bike on it. It will not do what you are trying to do. In my case it is either the bike or the cargo box but not both. Hope this helps.

Hi GP, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, our "Fork Base Unit" can't be mounted over the top of most rear racks.Regards, Bike Balance

Yes you could , and use two brackets on the top of the rear rack. You might lose some of the stability of the baskets by not using the lower bracket that connects to the frame. It was easy to connect to the rack though. But and a bolt tighten to a P shaped clamp. I use them every day. Open up easy and I added a shot if WD-40 to the little hinge that holds the basket closed when not in use and was a big help. Take care, John

You need to get a separate piece that mounts to the bike forming the upper bar. Then, you can mount this to a carrier rack.

I would say yes. I purchased this rack because it was the only one I could find that could carry 4 bikes and beach cruisers wide tires. I've been pretty happy with it other than its heavy and if you use it on a hatch back, you cannot open the door without taking the bikes off.

Haven't done it. The strap isn't long enough to carry crossbody. To attach to the rack on the back of a bike might be easier.

Yes you can. As a matter of fact we took the cover off of our wheel and the bike rack is mounted directly on the tire. Works great!

Cannot say for sure, but you should have no prob if your bike has a fender/mudguard, you mount the rack to the fender holder.
