It’s rare to find a moto rack that accommodates bicycles, and almost unheard of to find a bike rack that accommodates motorbikes. Hauling both can be cumbersome, with bikes mounted on the car and the motorcycle towed on a trailer, meaning that often, people will choose between bringing one or the other on their adventures.
Enter the 1UP Moto Rack ($1,720). It’s the brand’s first moto rack, capable of hauling any motorcycle up to 500 pounds. It’s available for 2″ and 2.5″ receivers. But, it also has a built-in 2” hitch receiver that can mount a standard 1UP Bike Rack (starting at $270), so you can bring both.
That’s right, gas-powered and pedal-powered riding together as one — or at least, riding on the same rack.
1UP Moto Rack: More Versatile for More Bikes
The Wisconsin-based manufacturer is known for its durable and easy-to-use bicycle racks, and its entry into hauling motorcycles looks to continue that tradition.
“We weren’t interested in just making another motorcycle rack,” said Kurt Barclay, 1UP USA’s marketing director, in a statement. “We set out to redefine the category. With premium features and uncompromising build quality, the 1UP Moto Rack is designed to tackle real-world hauling challenges and meet the high standards our customers expect.”
1UP’s Moto Rack is made from high-grade aluminum and steel, with no plastic components. It secures bikes by their tires or pegs, so it doesn’t wear on other components. It’s also accommodating, fitting 18-30″ tires up to 7″ wide.
Motorcycles are secured with 1UP’s unique built-in ratchet strap system. The rack also introduces a new wedge-style, anti-wobble assembly mechanism between the rack and hitch.
For loading, the rack has an integrated, dual-direction ramp with a zero-tip front wheel chock. So there’s no need to ride your moto up into the back of your truck. With this rack, you simply roll it onboard.
The 1UP USA Moto Rack solves a problem for anyone who likes to travel with motorbikes and doesn’t want to leave their bicycle at home. Now you can bring both with just one rack.
The Moto Rack is available now on the 1UP USA website for $1,719. 1Up also makes a peg stand and LED light bar accessories for it.
