It was recalled, vertical frame cracking .

As of Sep 20 2024, Costco recalling these racks as it can fail at the hitch post. Check your local costco

[@Tanstaafl1976]

Thank you for all your hard work in demonstrating this rack for us and answering viewers' questions!

[@erides]

Any time!

[@stacymykituk3830]

They should clearly advertise the maximum wheel base the rack can handle. I bought one and had to take it back to Costco, my bike was a 52 inch wheel base. Why Kilimanjaro made the rack so short is beyond me when it can handle heavy bikes. To me that is a design error that reduces their market potential.

[@erides]

Need to check their box or user manual. May be they have it somewhere.

[@steveblack8564]

i had same issue with one of my bikes although I was able to turn handle bars 180 degrees thus shortening the wheel bas by about 1 1/2 inches or so which made it useable

[@thefartdart]

I cant find it at Costco but Sams club has them . i ll buy that one off ya

[@erides]

I think the one at Sams club for light bikes under 60 lbs. Costco sold out or discontinued.

[@YEETYBOI6000]

I made that mistake and bought the Sam’s one thinking it was the same thing since it came up when I searched for e-bike racks. It is NOT for e-bikes. The wheel wells won’t fit the tires even if it would hold the bike. I’m so bummed that Costco doesn’t have these anymore!

[@alankatiya6870]

Very good effort on the video, thank you. I noticed that at 6.12 location on the video the strap is touching/rubbing the spoke. I wonder this type of strapping can damage the spokes. When the car is in movement or going over a pothole, the strap may put pressure on the spoke. And weaken it. Has this occurred to anyone.

[@erides]

thanks, I think you are correct . those straps are not to be trusted and use extra would be good.

[@robflowers6120]

You got to keep on top of tightening the hold down straps/ binders. Lost one, phone the importer/ supplier… surprise, surprise no parts to purchase. Pity.

[@grambothelegend7388]

I could not find this at the Costco app. I guess you have to buy in-store?

There is now a safety recall on these 🎉bike racks.

[@jime9305]

The Amazon link is no good...didn't try the one for ebay after Amazon failed so not sure about it

[@erides]

will need to check they might sold out or removed

[@grh7399]

How many pounds does it hold?

[@erides]

100lbs each bike max

I bought one that looks like this one. I think it came from China. It was assembled incorrectly from the factory. I took it to a bike shop and they corrected it. Then I put it on my hitch and the pin would not go into the hitch. I decided to return it. Proceed with Caution. It's not worth losing your bike and having it fall off the rack. I have had that happen to me.with another rack. Mine is an ebike..it sustained some damage!

[@erides]

yes, not worth to risk! Costco recalled them. I already got different and about the same price with most the same function kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5fZd52haNeZfrM

[@LBpacW]

I'm wondering if anyone else has a class I receiver like me... I am having difficulty finding a 1.25-2" hitch receiver adapter that has holes like up with the ebike carrier tension pin.

[@ccwelles8659]

Try 1 Up USA

[@garymcintosh883]

Mine doesn't have the silver lock pin that goes in the hole. Did anyone else have that issue?
