Features
SAVES YOUR BACK
Allows one person to quickly install a heavy hitch mounted carrier while standing fully upright. Minimizes frustration and reduces risk of bodily injury (due to improper posture needed to see a hitch receiver that is recessed inside or below a vehicle's bumper).
U-SHAPED FUNNEL
Extends visibility to the recessed hitch receiver location and guides the carrier into the narrow opening.
MAGNETIC CONNECTION
Attaches to a hitch receiver using three of the "world's strongest permanent rare earth magnets" - N52 grade neodymium, epoxy coated and embedded in ABS plastic (for weather resistance and durability).
MULTIPLE INSTALL OPTIONS
Can be installed in four different orientations to accommodate a variety hitch receiver and carrier designs. Three lips on the U-Shaped Face wrap around the hitch receiver to restrict directional movement - while the high powered center bar magnet locks the fourth side in place. The center face lip has a hitch bar cutout to allow for easy device removal after carrier installation.
OVER-INSERTION SHIELD
Reduces vehicular damage risk (from carrier to bumper/liftgate) by blocking excessive insertion. Also assists with device removal after carrier installation.
PATENT PENDING
The HitchHacker was invented, designed and assembled in San Diego, CA. Many products exist to help with the installation of heavy e-bikes onto a carrier. The HitchHacker is the ONLY product that assists with the installation of an "equally heavy" cargo carrier into a vehicle's hitch receiver.
About HitchHacker Company
Our Story
HitchHacker Company is a small San Diego based business that sells one product - The HitchHacker. It was invented after the owner began to experience ongoing back pain after transporting two electric bikes on a hitch mounted carrier on a Tesla Model Y. The e-bikes are heavy (over 60 pounds each), so he began to use a loading ramp but the back pain continued. That's when it became clear the loading of the bikes wasn't causing the pain, it was the tedious installation process of the bike carrier, which weighed 70 pounds. Because the Tesla's hitch receiver is recessed inside the bumper, the installation was difficult and frustrating - often requiring awkward posture (to try and locate the receiver). More than 40 different prototypes were designed and tested before The HitchHacker was fully optimized and moved into production.
