Lifts Easily to Save Space
With the RAD Easy Bike Hoist, you'll have a place for your bike and access to all the space you've been missing in your garage or storage space. Smooth pulleys and latches make it easy to lift your bike up to the ceiling, while an innovative rope-locking mechanism keeps your bike safe and secure from unwanted release.Robust Engineering for Durability
The RAD Easy Bike Hoist can hold the heftiest bicycles. With a load limit of up to 100 pounds, this mounting system features robust engineering for smooth lifting that doesn't put excessive strain on your hands or back. The thick rope will resist fraying, keep your bike steady and secure, and last a lifetime. The rubber-coated hooks will prevent scratching, and the advanced braking system will provide peace of mind--you'll know that once your bike is hoisted and locked, it will stay secure. Easy Installation and Operation
Installing the RAD Easy Bike Hoist is fast and easy. You can mount the hoist on a two-by-four and screw the two-by-four to a joist, or you can mount the hoist directly to the joist itself. And using the hoist is just as simple--attach the clamps to the handlebars and seat, and you're ready to comfortably lift your bike up to the ceiling. Once the locking mechanism clicks in, wrap the rope around the included wall mount to keep your bicycle secure. When it's time to get your bike down, simply unlock the mechanism and use the rope to smoothly bring it to the ground. The RAD Easy Bike Hoist is backed by a lifetime limited warranty. What's in the Box
Two hoist brackets with integral pulley system, two rubber-coated hoist hooks with pulley, one wall-mounting cleat, one nylon rope, ten mounting screws, and instruction manual.
Rubber-coated hooks attach to the seat and handlebars without creating scratches. |

 Works well September 8, 2010

Bike hoist is quite simple to install and looks quite sturdy when used within the specs
Just a couple observations during installation.
The ceiling brackets are to be mounted on a 2 by 4 or a similar width board on the ceiling first.
This is because the standard width of a ceiling joist is not wide enough to accomodate the bracket width.
Measure multiple times and only then drill holes.
Do not take short cuts...if you think that the joists are always parallel to the wall edge, you are wrong ... I tried to use the wall as reference and boy was I wrong ... (you can tell why I did not make a video review here ...;)).
.... use the stud finder for each screw for the boards.
Make sure to account for clearance in the front and back of the bicycle as well - I mounted 3 of these mounts for 3 bikes and it could have been a disaster had I not accounted for the clearance !
All in all, it is a great product and frees up valuable floor space in your garage.
Good Luck

Need tall ceilings to hang the bike up high enough. Works great, except I have to duck when I cross my garage. Still I have a lot of extra space now that the bikes are up and out of the way. Just bought a third bike hoist. Now I need to find a spot to install it where I won't hit my head.
Not sure why all the bad reviews August 31, 2010

I purchased this item and initially I was skeptical because of all of the poor reviews. But I figured I would give it a try as it was so cheap. When I was prepared for the worst, but what I received was a good product that installed easily. The installation hardware was not the best, but it was good enough. We are holding up a single bike here, so we don't need grade 8 airplane quality bolts. The instructions were straight forward and with in about 15 minutes I had my 10 year old trek bike hanging on the ceiling. As others have mentioned the brackets that secure the bike to the hoist are not what is pictured in this page. However, what was included worked just fine and it would take a major earthquake or structural damage to my house for the bike to fall. If I were to ever become concerned with the mounting brackets, the fix would be as simple as a piece of cord wrapped around the seat and handle bars.
With this mount I was able to reclaim that space in my garage, and because of that, this product was well worth the little money I paid for it.

Great idea but unfortunately did not work. Lifted the bike ok but the clamps that attached to the seat and handle bars could easily slip off. Based on that I was not prepared to trust my $2500 road bike and nearby car to it. I stuck with good old stable ceiling hooks and hang my bikes upside down. On the positive note, return was excepted no problem for a full refund by DTX International Inc.

You are not going to mount your bicycles with what comes in the package. The manufacturer neglects to tell you that the lifting device is not designed to be mounted on the ceiling and the picture on the web is deceptive. It is designed to be mounted on a 2X4 that is then attached to the ceiling. The 2X4 is not in the box, the bolts to attach the 2X4 to the ceiling are not in the box.
If you decide to forego buying the wood and simply attach the pulleys to the joists in the ceiling you are still going to have to go to the hardware store because the screws included in the box are way too short to reach the joists through the sheetrock on the ceiling and the heads are too small to securely hold the pulley platform.
So keep in mind that regardless of how you finally decide to mount your bicycles, you are not going to do it without a trip to the hardware store.
After I got the longer screws (I had no desire to go to the extra steps with the 2X4s) the device mounts easily and the bicycle rises majestically to the ceiling. The front hook fits securely on the handlebars, but the rear hook can have problems with some of the seats that split in the rear.
