Assembly
Straightforward by design. Assembly usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on proficiency, and requires only a few basic tools. Click here for step-by-step instructions.
"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!"
During the assembly, there were some bolt holes not lining up properly before tightening them down and I had to modify a couple of them to get everything aligned.
The first time loading my bike was a little bit of a learning curve. The ratchet strap that was holding it steady came loose and my bike fell off of the rack. The way the ramp attaches is easy but it could be more stable. You will need the back tire strap because the front tire rack is too loose to hold the bike up by itself. Use with caution.
Hi Jason, thanks for sharing your experience. We appreciate your feedback and will look into improving the process for hole alignment. Note: The front tie downs provide the main lateral support so they need to be tightened down accordingly.

Mototote Sportbike Hitch
Works great, customizable Chico distance helps me optimize between my kx65 and my FS450. Easy to install when needed and remove when not needed. Tie down positions are exactly where I like them

Fantastic carrier
Well built, good quality of construction in the hardware, welding, paint, etc. It works great at hauling my Husky 501. One other design element that would be awesome would be to build a secure hitch bolt. I love the no wobble design and would love to be able to secure the hitch (realizing the bike must still be cable locked to the hitch!)

Excellent Motorcycle Carrier
The Sport Motorcycle Carrier is a well designed/engineered product. It's light (considering it's weight capacity) and barely flexes when loaded. The sport model has wheel chocks/platforms that are wide enough for sport bikes but they still work great with the 21"/19" wheels on most MX bikes. I torqued the Zerowobble bolt to spec and also installed the hitch tightener, neither have come loose even after driving off-road. I recommend using the Extended Hitch Connection if you're using carrier on a Full Size Ford Bronco (80-96) or any vehicle with a rear mounted spare tire. I also recommend the light kit and mounting the platform as close to the vehicle as possible (even with a relatively light Yamaha YZ250 2T the hitch rack has a lot of leverage on the truck). It's doable but somewhat tricky to secure a small fuel can to the hitch rack, in the future I'll likely order the secondary receiver and cargo basket to help with this. Excellent motorcycle carrier!

Fantastic
Just used it for the first time. Put my V2 panigale on it and drove over the cascades in Oregon and it was fantastic. Every bit of what was advertised. Plenty of track days in my future now.

Tw200 and sport carrier
I’m sure like many that start shopping for something like this you start from the cheapest models from other vendors. Some of those cheaper models in the reviews, the welding was very erratic and people mentioned it was OK if they welded on it themselves and added parts but I didn’t wanna deal with all of that. I wanted a product ready to go and that’s how I ended up at Moto tote. Also, I’m 53 so I was really considering the weight of these units. This one is 58 lbs and that’s about like lifting a bag and a half of rock salt. That’s considerably less than other steel versions that weigh 100 pounds. Also, you can tell by the construction of this Moto tote unit with bent tubes and the Steel webbing with individual welds at each point, that’s not nearly as cheap as just welding two straight sticks together with a 2 inch tube under it to fit in the receiver. So it’s not difficult to understand why this one is more expensive but I think it’s worth it. It’s a very nice product that I’m happy with the way I can handle it on my own and I should continue to be able to do so as I age. I hang out on the wall when I’m not using it on a couple of bike hooks. Now I need to find a new place to hang my golf clubs that I never use.

Looks to be as advertised.
So I’ve not used the M3 Sport MotoTote yet but it seems to be as solid as I’ve seen multiple reviews on the product.
One thing that could be better is when I scanned the 2 QR codes it took me to the website and there was no instructions for assembly nor was there a video on your website.
Got on YouTube and found a video of a complete assembly process that was older and outdated but it served its purpose and I was able to get the assembly done perfectly. Now just gotta find time to get my bike on it and practice loading and unloading to see how close the handle bars will be to the tailgate of my truck!

Great product
Recently purchased my first motorcycle and needed a means to pick it up from an out-of-town seller. The MotoTote worked perfectly. Well designed and constructed. Carried the bike really well on the highway. Looks to be durable. Very happy with the product. Glad I purchased the light kit, too.

Best I've Used
Had to replace my original one after 10 years due to the an accident. Love the little small updates they've made and the customer support is always fantastic.
