Can you install it on top of your bike rack? Would it fold down flat? Or does it only fold onto the side wall?

You can install it anywhere it can hang on to really but you've got to keep in mind the distance from your handles down to the front tire and the width of your handlebars. If you have a beach bike that is wide you may get away with it. My bicycle has a spring in front and the clips are too narrow to go around the width of my handlebars. You can probably MacGyver it but I suggest you just install it in the rear.

it folds up onto the side of the bike. the bottom comes up and the sides fold in, so it is flat , but is leans against the bike. It is not obtrusive when folded and does not bother me. Advise..when installing, put it as far back on the rear bike rack as you can so it does not interfere (when open) with your foot when pedaling.I recommend.Can carry a lot. Be careful though, if you have only one on (which is what I have), it causes an unbalance in weight and if you are not careful the bike can tip. But as long as you are aware, it will not be a problem. For example, I mounted it on the right side, so when I walk my bike I stand on the left side to counter the weight. not a big deal if you know. it folds up onto the side of the bike. the bottom comes up and the sides fold in, so it is flat , but is leans against the bike.

sorry, it does not fold flat and it will not work on top of a bike rack. it mounts on the side and hangs down. as I said before, the bottom folds up, and the sides cave in to be flat, but standing up flat. if you want to mount something on top of your rear bike rack, just buy a box or crate from home depot, and install with tie downs.

Hi P. Jun... sorry for the delay in my response! So to answer your question .. YES, you can lean the rack down BUT (there is always a but!!) the rack becomes very heavy with more than 1 bike mounted on this rack. I usually mount 5 of them and it is simply not a good idea to lean the rack down fully loaded. I never tried just 1 bike, but the rack is very sturdy and I cannot see that being an issue. I would strongly recommend this rack, I have travelled from Chicago to New Jersey with this fully loaded with 5 bikes and did not have any issues. Good luck!

Yes. I have mine secured against the garage wall, so I would have to flip the bike around if I had to work on something on both sides. You could also move the adjustable arms if needed. I have not used mine using it in the freestanding position, but I imagine that would be best for servicing.

It would have to be flat against a whole wall to attach and it is very cheaply made, not metal and does not hold bikes if it is free standing.

It folds in thirds by use of hinges. I have loaded my yamaha venture which is a very heavy bike and it is no problem. The nice part is the ramps are wide enough for a person on each side to guide the bike up if it can not go on it's own power. It is a nice ramp.

The ramp will fold down flat on the rack and is secured to the rack with a strap. The rack does not fold up to the vehicle when not in use. This is a great product. I use mine all the time.

Yes, it can be folded flat. Maybe 6" thick. You could call it "easy" once you figure out how it goes together.

just through the base of the brackets; the bar slips in afterward. It's solid -- but terrible as a bike rack. See my review for details. It stands off too far from the wall to let the "top" bike tire rest against the wall.

you can put it on any flat surface no problem but I would not fold or roll it as it would probably damage the integrity of the plastic cover. You can tuck it to the side of a piece of furniture or in a closet.

It depends on how you have it installed... If you mount it you can't really remove it easily. However, I think you can fold it up if you are just using it as a hexagon structure.

I don't know. I had to take the bike rack off mine. The seat folds out and has a small rack. My guess is you 'll have to take the rack off. I'm not an expert on it. Good luck.

The carrier is large... If the bike rack is large enough to support it is the question... We had to connect a small board across our scooter rack so the carrier didn't shift and slide to the side. This solved the problem for us, and we use it quite often.

No, it is not constructed that way. I suppose you could make the legs that come out permanently out so they don't fold up then hang the rack on the wall but then it would stick out. If you tried to wall mount it flat, everything would fall out.

I am very satisfied with the rack... It serves it's purpose.. I believe there is always a solution to the request you are asking .. I unfortunately do not have the knowledge or know how to accomplish that.. But I can state that I have four bikes(2) on each arm and have had no problems.. My wife would like me to anchor the rack to the wall in case it might crush our daughter .. I again have no knowledge to know how ... THULE The name you know ..!!

you can mount it anywhere that is secure enough(strong semi flat) the materials for mounting are easy to work with. I PUT IT ON A FLAT AREA. YOU MAY HAVE A LUGGAGE BRACKET ON THE BACK OF YOUR BIKE? if NOT OU CAN EASLILY GET ONE ON aMAZON.(NOT EXPENSIVE)

Hey john , it's dave again , even tho this bike rack does not fold down , it is really made well and I am very pleased with it , I haul 2 electric bikes that have some weight to them and no problems at all , hope this helps you .

No. I don't think so! Certainly not adult bikes, you'll need a bike rack for safe transport of bikes! And NO, it doesn't fold, however, you can get a hitch extension with a pivot arm that might do, depending upon the vehicle and what your needs are!
