    "I had a cheap carrier but I did not trust it with my sport bike, then bought a great box trailer, but then got tired of hauling trailer to track days, with extra gas, bridge tolls for trailers, and having to drive 55 with a trailer. Now I have 1500 Ram Van with MotoTote for ZX10R. Love it!"

    The Review: A 2000 Mile Trip Across Country.
    Pros:

    • Assembly Instructions
    • Packaging
    • Strength
    • Mounting Points
    • Hardware
    Cons:
    • Paint Finish
    Model: MTXS - Sport Motorcycle Hitch Carrier.
    Truck: Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road.
    Motorcycle: Yamaha FZ-07.

    After taking this carrier across the United States (over 2000 miles); temps ranging from 20F-60F degrees; through snow, rain, and salted roads; over many bumps, pot holes and horrendous road surfaces; through stop and go traffic; and at highway speeds for MANY hours, I can finally give my honest review of this product.

    Overall I would give this motorcycle carrier very high praises based on the sole fact that my motorcycle made the long journey with no issues at all. Assembly of the carrier was simple and straight forward with the help of the included instruction card and simple tools. Loading my bike (397lb.) up the ramp and onto the carrier was fairly simple to do alone and the front wheel chock held the bike upright while I attached my straps. (I loaded it off a curb as the increased height makes this task easier with less of an angle to push up.) I used a total of 6 straps to secure my bike with 1 strap over the back tire which slipped off 2 times on my trip. (Putting the bike in 1st gear before placement fixed this problem.)

    I have to admit, driving the first 100 miles or so made me extremely nervous as I did not trust this carrier yet! Every time I hit a big bump on the road I would quickly look back, hoping to not see my bike dragging on the road. It was a real butt clincher at first, but after a few hundred miles and numerous checks and rechecks, much confidence was gained and I no longer worried about the carrier, but more so about my bike having road grime and salt and debris kicked up onto it. (I am definitely integrating a bike cover next time.)

    A few notes: During my trip, an audible metal creak sound developed in the coldest of temps (20F) which made me a bit nervous every time I hit a bump, hearing that, but no excessive play or movement was noticed beyond baseline and all bolts were rechecked for tightness with no issue. (The sound went away once temps warmed up a bit more into the 40's.) By the end of my trip the section that holds the bike did start to develop just a bit more play from baseline which created a very mild rocking movement (front to back) from the bike. (I'm sure after all the jarring the carrier went through all the bolts needed another tightening.)

    My biggest complaint with this carrier would have to involve the overall durability of the paint finish. After this trip, I had numerous superficial scratches and some deep scratches from normal road debris and in some areas especially the non-utilized bolt holes surface rust has already developed. (A nice package addition would be a small bottle of touch up paint in the future.) The hardware seems to be holding up well at this time minus the washer included with the "ZeroWobble+" hitch bolt which upon applying decent torque just bends into the hitch hole which has created a concave surface area.

    Overall, this is really an excellent product that I can now definitely recommend for transporting your beloved motorcycle around on the back of your vehicle in a safe manner.

    Lightweight, nice design. Power coating is TERRIBLE
    Pros:
    Cons:
    I do love the design of it but given the price point I'm very disappointed that the power coating is flaking off in chunks after a few uses.

    I know they were having issues with the powder coating supplier when I ordered and unfortunately whoever they chose is pretty bad.

    I'm going to have to get it re powder coated locally :/

    Great motorcycle carrier, very solid.
    Pros:
    • Sturdy
    • No wobble
    • Easy to assemble
    Cons:
    • Price
    This is the most solid hitch carrier I have ever used. When installed properly, it doesn't move around like other carriers do. Just like the install video said, I really had to crank down on the nuts/bolts that connect the bike tray to the hitch bar to cease wobble/movement. I loaded up my TW200 with zero issues, it was very easy to load, tie down, and unload. The wide ramps are great and work well with the large rear tire on the TW.

    The only issue I had was the bolts that were supplied to attach the bike tray to the hitch bar were just a bit too short for the threads to catch. The washers were really thick and the lock nuts had a little space before the threads which contributed to this. I wound up making a run to Ace Hardware and picking up a set of Grade 8 bolts, washers and lock nuts that were half an inch longer and this worked great.

    Mototote carriers cost a bit more than some other hitch mount offerings but not compared to something well-built like Versahaul. I felt it was worth it to pay more and protect my bikes. I would recommend these carriers.

    Product is 5 star but the customer service is 1 star.
    Pros:
    • Product works welll
    Cons:
    • Customer service non-existent

    The mototote is great and works well. very limited wobble when on the highway. Bike feels secure while on the mototote. I have and will recommend product to friends. However I will warn them about shipping and customer service. I received my mototote 4 1/2 months after pre ordering and paying, and over 2 months later than it was promised. I never was credited $50 for the preorder as stated in the email I received after I signed up for in stock notifications. Tried to contact via email no less than 5 times.(no response) And they no longer have a phone # on the website. Finally got thru on Instagram only to be given a generic response about why it wasn’t ready.

    Product is 5 star but the customer service is 1 star.


    [Context from MotoTote:

    When products have long backorder, we offer two options:

    1. Pay in full up front with a discount.

    2. Pay half now, half when ready to ship with no discount.


    The order was placed with half now option on 5/27/22

    The balance was paid on 8/17/22 and order shipped the next day: https://www.fedex.com/fedextra...


    We DID have many delays in 2021 & 2022. Backorder and supply shortages updates are alway publisher here: https://www.mototote.com/news

    As good as advertised.
    Pros:
    • build quality
    • weight
    Cons:
    • none yet
    Purchased carrier to transport my new HD Pan America between TX and CO. Considered using ramps but determined hitch rack was better way to carry the bike. Carrier appears to be well made. Easy to assemble — took less than 30 minutes. Key to lay out beside the bike to determine which holes to use for proper fit. What I like most is the weight. Easy to move and install without help. The other carriers I considered weighed considerably more.

    Life Changing!
    Pros:
    Cons:
    The carrier is a well engineered product. The designer was probably a structural engineer. It is simple, stiff and only has a few bolts. It’s also about 35 lbs lighter and about 200% better than the competition. There is absolutely no wobble or shaking while driving.

    I am using the carrier on a RAV4 Adventure and it worked out great. I shortened the hitch beam to reduce the moment and added air bags in the rear shocks.

    If you drive anywhere near NY, NJ, CT then you know what a pain it is to avoid parkways. This will pay for itself just in tolls and gas.

    Customer service: Delivery was approximately 2 weeks from order and you don’t get an estimated delivery date. You get notified when it ships. They are also slow to respond if you inquire about the order but the product definitely speaks for itself.

    Starting to rust already
    Pros:
    Cons:
    Further to my original review…
    Less than two weeks old and starting to see rust at some of the welds and I haven’t even used it yet. Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come. So much for the new powder coating?
    Still the best carrier out there but not perfect.

    Perfect for what I needed.
    Pros:
    • Light for what it is. Very well thought
    Cons:
    • None that I know
    I wanted a motorcycle carrier mainly for traveling with our motor home. I have used a trailer in the past, but they are an inconvenience. I had to leave my bike in the shop for new tires that was about 250+ miles away (long story), so the first time I used the Tote was to pickup my 1993 BMW GSPD, using my GMC Sierra. Not a small bike with the huge gas tank, so I was little apprehensive going all that way with a carrier I have never used. But all went well. I did have a buddy with me to hold the bike steady while I figured out the tie down straps for the first time. The bike fitted perfectly. It did seem a little strange having that big bike hanging off the back of my truck first of all. But there were no problems, I soon felt it was a much better way to transport a bike than on a bouncy trailer! I am well pleased with the Tote to say the least.
