Best Bike Hoist in 2022 (Reviews and Comparison)

1. RAD Cycle Products Rail Mount Bike

This particular bike hoist is known for being user-friendly and a convenient way to store your bicycle. To ensure that your bike does not undergo any scratches from the hooks, they are rubber coated. No mounting boards are needed when installing this bike hoist because the easy mount rail is able to install directly to ceiling joist, deeming it incredibly convenient and user-friendly. 

You can definitely call this hoist heavy duty because it is made of robust engineering that allows up to 75 lbs of bike weight. No one would want their bike to fall from the ceiling, and to ensure that does not happen this hoist is made with a mechanism that prevents accidental release. An adjustable RAD easy rail mount system allows your bike to be raised and lowered with ease.

WHAT WE LIKE

The convenience of the mount rail certainly puts this bike hoist at the top of the list. The fact that no mounting boards are needed to install this bike hoist makes it that much more user friendly and easier to install. The robust engineering and bike weight deems it heavy duty and the cam lock mechanism leaves the user feeling secure that their bike is in good hands…or hooks!

There is no doubt that this particular hoist is stable considering the mount rail that allows it to be safely secured to the ceiling. It is also arguably the most user-friendly because of the mount rail as well as the low weight of the hoist itself. This bike hoist is one of the more expensive options, but that could be because of the amazing features and it is still cheaper than RAD Sportz Bicycle Hoist 4-Pack Quality. Could this be the best bike hoist available?

RAD Sportz Bike Hoist is the most expensive of our five options. It seems to be a good choice, but more expensive does not always automatically classify it as the best. One perk of this bike hoist is that it is easy to install. It does not have the same mount rail as the RAD Cycle Products bike hoist, but it can be mounted to ceiling joist or rafter with minimum tools.

WHAT WE LIKE

This particular hoist also has the capability to hold up to 100 pounds, making it more heavy duty than the first hoist we reviewed. This hoist is made for ceilings up to twelve feet and has safety locks to ensure your bike does not fall from the mount. 

To be more expensive than the first hoist, the only noticeable difference is the fact that it can hold fifteen more pounds. The average weight of a mountain bike is approximately 30 pounds, therefore, that 15 pound difference doesn’t really make up for the increase in price.Four hoists are included in the package and the entire hoist weighs fifteen pounds.

This hoist is cheaper than both of RAD’s bike hoists listed above and still contains appealing features. Like the others, this hoist contains hooks that have a rubber coating to ensure no scratches or damage is done to your bike. It also allows up to 100 pounds of weight to be put on the hooks, which is more than enough.

WHAT WE LIKE

It is said that this hoist can be easy to install with the capability to mount it to the ceiling joist or rafters with minimum tools required. It also has safety locks to ensure the hooks won’t fail and leave your bike falling to the ground. It is said that this product is easy to use and durable, but does not get too specific about how easy it is to lower and raise your bike. 

Being that it is cheaper than the first two options, it does not highlight the features as much. Does this mean you are getting what you pay for? This hoist is made of steel and Polypropylene and weighs 8 pounds, making it more lightweight than RAD Sportz hoist.

A cheaper option, Wallmaster Bike Ceiling Mount Lift Hoist Hanger has great features. Along with the rubber coated hooks that prevent scratches and slips, this hoist considers itself to be “sturdy”. It is capable of holding up to 100 pounds of equipment. 

WHAT WE LIKE

This hoist is adjustable and can be used on ceilings up to twelve feet. It also ensures safety and the wellbeing of whatever item you put on the hoist with the locking mechanism that prevents accidental release. The pulley system used to lift your bike is also noted to be easy to use.

This hoist is made out of a strong steel material and weighs a remarkable amount of 3.7 pounds. Pretty astounding that such a lightweight invention could hold so much weight! For being such a low price, it seems to be user friendly and stable.

The Delta Cycle hoist has two options. You can either buy it with the straps, which makes it one of the more expensive options, or without, making it one of the cheapest. The straps are convenient for securely hoisting your bike, so this would make the Delta Cycle one of the more expensive options. 

WHAT WE LIKE

Our other options all have rubber gripped hooks. It also has a silver stamped powder coat finish to allow strength and style. The hoist allows up to 100 lbs of equipment to be hung and there is an auto-lock mechanism to prevent accidental release. All hardware is included and it is said to be easy to set up. The rope is made out of nylon tensile and other than the silver stamped finish, the material of the mounts is not stated.
