RAD Cycle Products Rail Mount Bike and Ladder Lift for Your Garage or Workshop Holds up to 75 Pounds No Mounting Board Needed

This bike lift was easy to install and works well even on an electric bike

The metal main metal parts are very good. Unfortunately the first time we used it the rope frayed. We replaced the rope with a higher quality sailing rope which we have routed over the pulleys without using the locking mechanism. We have fixed a more robust cleat to the garage wall and use this instead of the locking mechanism. The light weight cleat provided is used to hold the spare rope. We are also using a short bunge to connect one of the pulleys to the handlebars because the fitting provided is not big enough to attach to the handlebars securely. This arrangement seems to be working well for lifting up my wife’s electric mountain bike when I am servicing it etc.

saves loads of space, i have above stairs and it looks Great and Works great. good purchase xxxx

El producto es bastante bueno para su precio. Las poleas son un poco chicas y la cuerda tiende a salirse mucho de ellas. Es facil armarlo pero no instalarlo. Los tornillos con los que viene no son tan de buena calidad (3 se me doblaron y uno se le rompio la cabeza). Tampoco trae taquetes. No trajo instructivo pero se puede encontrar el pdf si lees las reseñas en inglés. Fuera de eso. Es un excelente producto. Se monta muy faciles los ganchos y no se ve de mala calidad ningun componente. El servicio de entrega llego mas rápido de lo esperado. En general cumple con su cometido y su precio es ideal.

Simple install. Nice and clean and tight fit to ceiling. Used other structural screws than was supplied due to other reviews, and the routing of the rope thru the mechanism was not clear but figured it out. Works great!

Beim dritten Mal benutzen um das E-bicke zu reinigen ist der Aufnahme Haken abgebrochen. Aluguss erweist sich als nicht geeignet.

Update 8/22/18 I now have 4 of these in my garage. They all work great. I must admit however that I now agree with the reviews that stated the mounting screws are soft. They are! I had 3 screw heads snap off and I have a drill with torque control. Do yourself a favor and use galvanized wood screws. Other than that I’m really pleased with it. This is an excellent bike hoist and works very well. It was easy to install (took all of 15 minutes), directions were straight forward and clear. Having the aluminum rail with the ability to adjust the position of the 2 pulley hooks makes a difference when you have different bike sizes and distances between the handlebar and the saddle, and gives you flexibility in locating the right place for it with respect to your joist locations. I have 2 of these installed in my garage for my road bike and mountain bike. The ease and speed with which I can lower and raise the bike makes is so much nicer than other systems I have tried both on the ceiling and the wall. It's great to have the bikes off the floor of my garage where I keep 2 cars. I can't agree with some of the negative comments. Some say the mounting screws are "soft?" I found no such problem and I have done much work with wood screws over the years. First, you have to screw these into studs. Don't even think about using any kind of drywall anchors as you are putting some amount of pulling force on the ceiling as you raise the bike, whether a light racing cycle or something heavier. Secondly, the supplied screws are plenty long and thick. I've had one of my hoists for well over a year and raise and lower the bike multiple times per week. Haven't had any issue at all and the rail is as securely fastened to the ceiling as it was the day I installed it. The next negative comment I read was the thickness of the rope. The rope is plenty thick and strong. I mean you can't design something like this with a 1/2" or thicker rope. Then there was the comment about the difficulty in threading the rope through the pulleys and the locking mechanism. This is not rocket science and was really no problem. If you follow the directions and attach to the eye hook first, you should have no problem whatsoever. The rope is very long, and needs to be and does take some time to wrap and unwrap on the cleat, but that is a very minor issue. You could probably get away with not wrapping the extra rope around the cleat at all as the locking mechanism works very well, just like the mechanism on horizontal blinds, but why take a chance. It's an extra safety precaution. I actually figured out how much rope I needed once the bike was completely lowered, added a little extra and then cut some of it off (even though it recommends not to). Lastly, I read one stating you have to supply a good amount of force to raise the bike. I mean c'mon. You're going to have to use some amount of force to raise any bike no matter what the weight, and If you have a 50 lb. monster, well... Finally, the price was great for such a high quality device with a lifetime warranty. Highly recommend for those looking to get their bikes off the floor of their garage.

Had for two years now working well. The only minor issue is the the Mounting Screws have a larger head than the instructions indicate and you cannot slide pulleys along the rail past the screws. Need to position the pulleys before installing all the mounting screws.
