Surco 3-Bike Capacity Universal Spare Tire Fit Surco BT300 Spare Tire Bike Rack -- 3-Bike Carrier (SKU 16-0118)

Bring your bikes along without sacrificing cargo space inside your RV. The Surco BT300 clamps directly onto your existing spare tire using a heavy-duty steel mounting plate -- no hitch, no drilling, no bed space lost. Up to three bicycles ride in padded, non-scratch channels with a locking top plate that keeps them firmly in place on the road.

Carry 3 Bikes Off Your Spare Tire -- No Hitch Needed

The BT300 is purpose-built for RVers and overlanders who already have a full-size spare mounted on the rear of their rig. The rack's universal mounting plate wraps around the spare tire's wheel and tightens securely, turning an otherwise unused spare into a functional bike-carrying platform.

Each bike sits in a padded cradle channel that protects frames from scratches and vibration. The locking top plate pins the bikes in place so they don't shift or bounce loose during highway driving or rough terrain.

Universal Spare Tire Mount

Attaches to any full-size spare tire mounted on the exterior of a vehicle or RV -- no permanent modifications required.

3-Bike Capacity

Accommodates up to three adult bicycles side by side in individual padded cradle channels.

Locking Top Plate

Top plate secures and locks bikes to the rack, preventing movement and reducing the risk of theft during stops.

Non-Scratch Padded Channels

Bikes are gripped in foam-padded channels that protect frames and paint from metal-on-metal contact during transit.

Construction and Finish

The BT300 is fabricated from heavy-duty steel and finished in a durable black powder coat. Powder coating resists rust and UV degradation, which matters when the rack lives on the outside of a vehicle year-round. All contact surfaces that touch the spare wheel and bicycle frames are padded to prevent damage.

No Hitch Receiver Required -- Because the BT300 mounts to the spare tire rather than a hitch receiver, it works on vehicles and RVs that lack a rear hitch or whose hitch is already occupied by another accessory. This makes it a practical solution for jeeps, trucks, SUVs, and Class B or C motorhomes with exterior-mounted spares.

Mounting System

The heavy-duty mounting plate slides behind the spare tire and tightens against the wheel using the included hardware. The system is designed to fit standard full-size spare tires and does not require any permanent drilling or modification to the vehicle. Installation and removal can be completed with basic hand tools.

Fitment Note: The BT300 is designed for standard full-size exterior-mounted spare tires. Compact "donut" spares or spare tires stored inside the vehicle are not compatible with this mounting system. Verify your spare tire is full-size and externally accessible before ordering.

Warranty

Surco backs the BT300 with a limited 90-day warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Installation Tips:
  • Confirm the mounting plate is fully tightened before loading bikes -- check hardware snugness after the first 50 miles of use.
  • Load bikes evenly across all three positions when possible to balance weight distribution on the spare.
  • Remove the rack when not in use to reduce wind load on the spare tire mount and prevent unnecessary wear.
  • Inspect padded channels periodically and replace foam inserts if they become compressed or damaged.

Important Information
  • Compatible with full-size exterior-mounted spare tires only -- compact donut spares will not support this rack.
  • Always verify all mounting hardware is fully tightened before driving. Re-check after the first 50 miles.
  • Do not exceed the 3-bike capacity. Overloading can place excessive stress on the spare tire mount and vehicle hardware.
  • This rack mounts to the spare tire, not the vehicle's hitch or bumper. It is only as secure as the spare tire mount itself -- inspect your spare carrier hardware before use.
  • Not intended for off-road high-speed use while bikes are loaded. Reduce speed on rough roads and trails.
  • Remove rack when not in use to prevent unnecessary wear and wind resistance on the spare tire mount.
