Affordable Ebike Rack - KAC Bike Rack Review

[@wlew3499]

Glad this rack works for you. If your ebikes are 70-80lbs ea., this type of rack will not hold the bikes. I have a similar rack and there is so much movement the fear of losing the bikes in transit is real. The premium rack featured on youtube is $1200+, more than the ebike. For security to keep your heavy ebike safe spend more.

Luckily mine are lighter, but good point!

i have this rack (not a similar one), my 2 fat tire ebikes weigh 80 lbs each and never had an issue in 4 years

Great video and review. Since you posted the video, have you had any issues with the bike rack? I appreciate any info you can share.

[@tracenfitzpatrick]

Thanks, I appreciate it! It’s been winter out here, so I haven’t been out in a while. I’ve had it for 3 years though. Obviously there are higher quality racks out there that’ll be more sturdy or have better fastening straps etc. But this one has been good for us for the price.

Thank you!

Awesome review pal. Just picked this bike rack for cheaaap, CAD$ 69 + tax as it seems KAC went under. Makes more sense to pick up a class 3, 2" receiver from U-Haul than mess with adapters. If you're in Canada, Princess Auto still has some, grab it while it lasts

Thanks for the info!

How do you bring the u shaped collar down to secure the step through bike? How is the top of the step through bike secured to the carrier?

[@tracenfitzpatrick]

@@WilliamWoock-g4s I have to use the lower hook for that bike. I also have the wheel support base moved a little off center so the bar of the step through is positioned to be higher for the hook to catch it. It’s not a perfect fit, and just barely makes it, but it works. I also use the extra tie down strap that came with the rack to secure the bikes to each other. The other bike is very securely hooked.

Plus, is this still going good for you this bike rack?

[@tracenfitzpatrick]

Yeah, still going well for me.

I want to get the 1.25 “ version but I read a comment on Amazon. Someone said it doesn’t fit the U-Haul but then I see other people right that it does fit the U-Haul. Do you think I should just go with the version you have and add the converter

[@tracenfitzpatrick]

Great question. If I only had a 1.25” hitch, I think I’d rather have that size without the converter. The converter adds another layer of jiggle which I don’t like, but I knew I would use it on a 2” hitch sometimes, and that’s why I went that size.

[@JasonXBeats]

@@tracenfitzpatrick it’s just I heard someone mention that it fits on the U-Haul hitch and then someone else mentioned that it doesn’t so I’m confused I really like this rack

[@tracenfitzpatrick]

@@JasonXBeats hitches are made to be the right size, whatever the brand. So I’d guess the person who’s didn’t fit was a mess up on the hitch side or bike rack side.
