Weight capacity must be one of the most important aspects of a motorcycle hauler. The capacity of most products is between 400 and 600 pounds so that should give you an idea about what kind of bike you can carry. When you install the carrier, pay close attention to the instructions. Those should also carry some valuable information on what the device can do.
The length and width of the rack on your motorcycle hauler are also significant. Most of the brands offer the ability to hook up bikes of various sizes, but that shouldn’t be enough. If you had a previous hitch installed, you might take after that to order a new one.
Make sure that your car has a particular hitch receiver for the ramp you attach to it. When you install it, that piece of gear should be in place so that you can make the connection. If the receiver is in its rightful place, it should be easy to install the hitch.
As a general rule, most motorcycles, scooters, and dirt bikes can be attached to your car or SUV in this manner. But, for your peace of mind, and to make an easy choice, always check the limitations stipulated by the manufacturer.
