Semi easy. Only trick is to make sure the distance between hinges is right or it may wobble. We have used these in the past three houses. Installed 4 in our newly built house. Great space savers. And each guest room has one so guests can hang towels in their rooms and not try to find space in bath room with not enough towel rods. Also have asset in each bathroom.

Even though we ordered the rack, I don't know how easy it is to mount and dismount, since when it came the central tubes were rusted and we sent the whole thing back.

Very easy. It can be installed in less than ten mins. Just remove the pins one section at a time and install.

It's fairly easy. The most difficult part for me was mounting the handle bar...all the cables are installed, but you have twist it around just right so the cables are not kinked.

Every rack is a bolt on affair. Yes, this one would be lighter and easier to steal but you could always drill a hole in the mounting plate that sits on the bed rail, drop a long bolt or hitch pin through and into your stake pocket and put some kind of lock through a hole drilled into the pin. That's not a bad idea actually. I may do that to my own.

This rack is very sturdy. Don't have to Lift the bikes far off the ground and the rack itself though, having some heft behind it, is very easy to install. My wife installs ours without problems. Compared this with others before purchasing. We made the right choice.

The sections aren't heavy. The first assembly was a bit confusing, after that an easy process. I use a locking bolt and installing that on the hitch takes longer than installing the rack. One note, I've only transported 2 bikes not 4.

My husband can get it on and off really fast. I haven't tried because it's heavy! We absolutely love this bike rack!

The item is easy to mount and almost impossible to unmount. Once it's in place...

No, you have to unscrew it. I preferred that for a little more theft deterance. Overall I love this rack

There are not mounting holes on the rack. There is a slot/channel that runs the entire length of the rack that slides over the screw head. Holes should be drilled about 1/2" in on each side from where you want each end of the rack to be, but you don't need to be too exact. You take the black plastic end caps off, slide one cap over a screw, slide the rack onto that end cap, then slide the opposite cap on. I'm a bit weak in my right hand, so I found it was helpful to use a rubber mallet to tap the second end cap in, holding the opposite cap. It closed up the gap on both sides.

There's not much assembly to do. Basically three screws to hold the rack to the legs and three to hold the seat to the legs, then you slide what I would consider a cap on the seat area to hide the attachment screws. It doesn't slide off easily when picking it up for removal from tub.

No you can't, but the tilt is slight. It needs to be a little tilted, so that the gear doesn't fall forward. This is a great rack

Yes very easy. The detector still slides on the same rail the factory mount uses. The suction cup mount is easy as well, you flip the lever and pull it off the window. Either one takes two seconds.

Very easy. Care must be exercised to not knock over pins when raising the plastic rack. Lifting the rack straight up to clear the pins before removing it.

Yes, it is easy to remove. Unscrew the retaining pin in your hitch receiver, pull it out, then remove the bike rack. It takes just a couple of minutes.

It has something of a clip on it - it's not very secure but I use it on the back of my topeak rack sometimes. Much better on the mount. I don't like switch though - it turns on too easily.

Easy to install...weighs about 30 lbs or so. I use extra velcro straps to hold everything in place so things don't move during the drive. Overall, very happy with this rack.
