About MotoTote

Marvin Hankins and Dan Diote started MotoTote in 1997 because they wanted a motorcycle hitch carrier they could actually trust. The first heavy-duty steel carrier arrived in 1998, a sport-bike version in 2004, the modular MTX platform in 2009, and the current Max and Max+ in 2021.

Later came the Mini rack for e-bikes, dual-bike carriers and MotoTote's own tie-downs. Carriers are designed and assembled in Texas, with some imported components.

What we carry from MotoTote

We carry the m3, Sport, Max, Max+, Max Dual and Max+ Dual carriers, the Max and Max+ dual add-on kits, and Mini e-bike racks and bundles.

Accessories include ramps, tire tracks, wheel chocks, tie-down arms, ratchet straps, LED carrier light kits, touch-up paint, end caps and replacement hardware. For the truck side, see our hitches and receivers, including a 1 1/4-inch second receiver.

How to choose

Match the carrier to the bike, then make sure the hitch can actually carry both.

  • The m3 is rated for bikes up to 500 lb. The Sport, Max and Max+ go to 600 lb. Dual carriers take two bikes up to a combined 600 lb.
  • You need a 2-inch receiver with enough tongue weight capacity for the bike plus the carrier. Many models call for Class III or higher.
  • Your vehicle's tongue weight rating is the real limit, whatever the carrier is rated for.
  • If the bike blocks your taillights or plate, add an LED light kit.
  • Budget 30–60 minutes of assembly with basic tools.

MotoTote warranty

MotoTote-branded carriers and parts carry a one-year limited warranty from the retail purchase date against defects in materials and workmanship, provided the carrier was used as instructed and within its weight limits.
