Overview
Pivoting the rack at the hitch is how the Blackburn Pivot Pro lets heavy eBikes be loaded and unloaded without ramps or lifts. It is a metal hitch-mounted carrier for cars, trucks and vans, finished in black.
The reason to consider it is the patented pivot, which cuts the lifting that makes heavy bikes awkward to load. The limitation is a thin spec sheet: no hitch size, bike count or lock detail, so fit has to be checked by hand.
Who it's for
People hauling heavy electric bikes to trails who want to avoid ramps and awkward lifting. A vehicle without a hitch receiver, or a plan to carry several bikes, calls for a different carrier.
Pros and cons
- Pivoting load mechanism
- Built for heavy eBikes
- Universal fit listed
- Manufacturer warranty included
- Hitch size and bike count not listed
- Locks and straps not described
- Needs a hitch receiver on the vehicle
Performance notes
The rack hangs from the vehicle hitch and pivots at that point, so the bike can be swung into a convenient position for loading and then moved back. Metal construction carries the load up to the listed rating. Stability on rough roads depends on the receiver fit and how the bike is secured, details the listing does not cover.
