I have the Kuat NV2.0 Base and cannot say enough good things about it. Super stable, built in cable lock, looks great, folds up tight to the vehicle when not in use, and I can load or unload a bike in less than 30 seconds. Great channel and keep up the great work.

[@EbikeEscape]

Thanks for sharing, definitely one I'd like to test.

[@jeffreyhalopoff5113]

I have the Kuat NV 2.0 and it says the weight capacity is only 60lbs per bike.I am interested in getting two Aventon adventure 2 bikes that weigh 77lbs each with batteries. I could lose a little weight by removing the batteries as you suggest but am still over the limit.The rack seems to be very stout but would like to hear for someone has delt with this problem. @@EbikeEscape

[@EbikeEscape]

One of the downsides of some of these racks which is why we tend to focus on racks with higher capacities.

[@mathhewryan3109]

The strap for the rear wheel on my kuat broke letting my 2022. Turbo levo bounce down the on ramp at about 45 mph unbelievable very little damage be careful 🚵🏿😀🏴‍☠️

[@jongolsteyn9680]

I have the QuickrStuff rack. I love it and I am really happy with it. Very easy to use and it holds my e-bike well. I even built my own ramp for less than 10 dollars that works perfectly. I also bought the license plate holder that works great.

[@mrgold3591]

I just picked up the QuikRstuff rack back in Sept/2023. Excellent rack, easy on/off, light weight, no tools needed, and very sturdy at highway speeds of 70-85 mph with a 88lbs Himiway Cobra Pro 4.8" fat tire ebike.

[@Thereformedpropagandist]

Might be cheaper to buy a whole trailer for all the toys, love the Quikr but crazy price plus having to buy a swing away attachment.

[@Iambriangregory]

Toys? In my view that's a weird label that shouldn't be used ...if anything is more appropriate to say it's a tool ,but being tone deaf most people wouldn't see the point of that especially with people starving in the world living with the aftermath of disasters and you're talking about toys? give it some thought please it'll do you good

[@Iambriangregory]

By the way your expression obscured the very good idea you had of a trailer so keep that in mind that you have a good things to give the world

I just purchased the HOLLYWOOD DESTINATION AND I LOVE IT it Carrie’s my Adventon and my townie 7D both are step thru …there’s to wiggle going down the road and, everything gets locked down with a keyed lock ….

[@jakefromsomewhere]

Check out the rhino bilt e-bike rack

[@RolandoZbikowski-m2x]

The one you should also check it out is the Quietkat Pivot, it less expensive to the Quikr and you don't have to add ramps or other accessories.

[@EbikeEscape]

Would love to, we will see!

[@Mike-ql4sz]

Can u recommend a rack 4 a vehicle w. 2 doors on the back opening sideways instead of one opening upwards? Thx

[@bendelaney6638]

New to biking. Gave a lot of information in a short period of time. Would be great to have a video showing best racks for different types of ebikes. Gotta Pace 500.3, 55 lbs, and I find too many racks of different kinds with no guide per make/model. Confusing.

[@geoleo2597]

Please review the Rhino Built ramp. It looks to be a copycat of the 1up rack almost exactly. Its much cheaper and the plus is the handle to tilt is at the front not the rear $500 for the Hollywood rack? I had that rack before and it's crap. It's flexy not robust at all, not easily adjustable, and contact between bikes is hard to adjust. It does not instill confidence whilst driving down the road

[@donpeer4477]

Suggestion: can you, please, add commentary on the wheel base that racks fit? My GF and I recently converted over to ebikes and the Kuat rack that we use to transport our bikes fit her new ebike just fine. However, mine is several inches longer and didn't quite fit. In order to get mine home I had to use straps and bungy chords to hold it forward so that it didn't roll backwards and fall off the rack!

[@robertjacobs8745]

I have a 1 UP. Great Rack

[@thakozhani]

These rack prices are more than what I paid for my e bike!

[@EbikeEscape]

Some can be!

[@Iambriangregory]

You ain't lying I'm noticing that doesn't make sense

[@Iambriangregory]

Ironically for some people it could be cheaper to drive there in a regular car and just buy a new bike when you got where you're going hahaha then sell it before you come back

[@ronpope218]

Great review, Ryan! I'm hoping you'll get the chance to review the newest 1UP Super Duty, which was redesigned in early 2024. It's definitely not as light as the Quickr Mach 2, but I was looking for a rack that would support my 84lb Aima Big Sur fat bike without bouncing and twisting around, and I really didn't want folding trays as to me, pivot points would compromise the strength and stiffness.

[@EbikeEscape]

Great to hear! We'd like to check it out, just have to weigh it vs reviewing bikes 😁

[@RainBitcoins]

I do food deliveries and added a pakir food bag/box on the back rack and now my front wheel wobbles badly if i take my hands off the handlebars.. I wonder if I need to add some sort of stabilizers bars under the rear rack... Anyone have experience with what I'm talking about?

[@EbikeEscape]

Check out the Cane Creek Hellbender. No experience myself but might help.

[@allan6021]

Can you recommend a rack to carry 2 fat tire e-bikes in the bed of a pickup?

[@FrancesCheda]

Did you find one?

[@allan6021]

@@FrancesCheda All I’ve found is a DIY rack made with PVC pipe and the RIDE88 QR3 rack.

[@FrancesCheda]

@allan6021 thanks. I was just curious for a pickup. I ended up with the hollywood rack for my 4runner.

[@lude3645]

​@FrancesCheda how do you like that Hollywood rack style? I'm looking at WILDROAD Hitch Bike Rack which is real close to yours. Tx

[@reginahedin4443]

Ditto for the Lectric eTrike. 1:29

[@darrylswanson1199]

I have a Honda Civic. You showed no trunk mounted models?

[@EbikeEscape]

Correct. I think putting a trunk mounted E-Bike rack on a Civic, would leave you with a dented or damaged trunk. I would look into a 1 1/4" Hitch mount for the civic, and then there are quite a few options on the market for you.

[@gabriellebenard5254]

thank god i've been looking everywhere to get a bike rack for my Talaria. How hard some of them are to get to Canada?

[@rodperry1637]

I bought one up rack and I had to assemble it for me. It was a pain in the ass never to buy another one.

[@EbikeEscape]

Ah bummer, I didnt think it was too bad. Assembling a Hollywood Rack takes much longer.

[@gasmail99]

I have a Biria S-5 E-Bike, which weighs 68 pounds and has fat tires. What rack would work well with this?

[@EbikeEscape]

As long as you have the weight capacity on the rack you choose it should work - it is just going to be how it attaches to the rack with wheel mounts or bottom trays.

[@lindaevans5068]

Is there a rack for a Lectric Trike?

[@vinoto]

Lectric as one on their website. I believe it's an add on adapter that you attach to a Hollywood rack

[@EbikeEscape]

@Vinoto is correct. Hollywood Rack has one. Stay tuned on the next week or two, and we will have a review up for it. lectricebikes.sjv.io/5g7EEN (affiliate link)

Can you please review the INNO INH122 hitch rack? There are mostly reviews for the INNO INH120

[@mray8519]

We have a HOLLYWOOD SPORT RIDER and it is a TOTAL PIECE OF S#%T. I end up cursing every time we use it. The wheel holders deformed, the upright holding the bikes always interferes with one of the pedals, etc. JUST DON’T DO IT.

[@MikeJordanUnCamplicated]

Are the battery bags, battery frame covers and handle bar covers on your accessory site? I do not see them

[@EbikeEscape]

Thanks for bringing this up - we are working on organizing our shop more. In the meantime use this link: shop.ebikeescape.com/collections/storage-and-transportation

[@pinkfreud62]

I wonder why no one's created a heated, battery operated battery cover. They make heated clothing so a small cover to keep your battery warm in winter shouldn't be hard to create.

[@MsSilmarien]

Guessing because a battery is a potentially combustible, flammable thing unto itself, and does best in straight up ambient temperature ranges, not close-by heat sources? Have you been able to ride at all in winter? (I'm a brand new ebike owner, located an hour south of the Mackinac Bridge, for reference.)

[@DiegoRamirez-iy5uh]

Where did you get the Mach2 add on CAD?

[@Tinman710]

Hey Ryan what are your thoughts on the Thule easy fold XT. Think it can support an aventon level(62lbs with battery) and a juiced ripcurrent s(76lbs with battery). I’m asking because I trust your expertise.

[@EbikeEscape]

Have not used one myself but I do see it as a popular choice. It's a quality brand for sure and if it can handle the weight then go for it!

[@bensonr2]

@@EbikeEscape I'm replacing one with a Mach 2 cause I banged it up (my fault). It was decent but really fiddly to get the clamps my ebikes with fat tubes. Plus as I say I banged it up. Its very plasticy in places and it did not take much at low speed for me to destroy it. I just feel the build quality does not match the price.

[@Blbbbb]

We have an Ezigrip 2 bike rake.

[@wsimpson53]

Excellent content! Any thoughts on using any of these racks with a swing mechanism like the Yakima Backswing? I want to put this on a camper van and want to swing the rack out of the way. But I also need to be able to carry heavy electric step through bikes with fenders and I haven't found a rack that does it all.

[@EbikeEscape]

Unfortunately the extenders are going to lessen the capacity of the hitch (unless you have a burly vehicle). Step-thrus with fenders can work without too much hassle with the 1Up/QuikR - I've had a lot more experience with this lately.

[@BiggerDummy]

​@@EbikeEscapeswing outs and hitch extenders will also void rack warranty, at least that's what Quikrstuff says

[@coachtc1965]

I have a Velotric Discover 1 Step through. I have a 2021 Corolla sedan with a 1.25" receiver hitch. Which rack would you recommend?

[@EbikeEscape]

I'm not familiar with 1.25" since most often they can't handle the weight of an ebike.

[@micklumb645]

Kuat v2 transfer

[@ReefMimic]

What about one for a pickup?

[@EbikeEscape]

All of these will work on a pickup. I would pick the one that fits your ebikes the best (weight and length wise).

[@LuisRodriguez-y1j]

It’s covering the license plate is that ok.

[@EbikeEscape]

Depends on your state, some sell license plate adapters for the rear.

[@kerusso3568]

Are there any racks for a 1 1/4 receiver hitch?

[@EbikeEscape]

Yes. Most of these racks come in a 1 1/4" receiver size. You just need to be more aware of your total weight as most 1 1/4" receivers on cars have a lower tongue weight capacity then 2" ones.

[@stevespringer8385]

do you have a recommendation for an eTRIKE rack? thanks

[@EbikeEscape]

We sure do. Not too many options. But here is our review of one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3LOqWSce7lqaMksi=hRPTQfZygdqi01hA

[@markp.7165]

I don't think it is possible to overstate the importance of a nice rack. How you use them is a personal preference but you do want them to not only be functional but look nice and firm as well. A sagging rack let's be honest looks horrible and can be a bit dangerous if they hang too low. Safe biking everyone!

The biggest problem with all of these racks, is they do not have lights on them. When the bikes are loaded on them, the tail and brake lights on the vehicle are not visible. These rack should be classed just like a trailer . They should have lights , or capable for light s.

[@EbikeEscape]

We're starting to see some lights offered from manufacturers but still DIY solutions. There is a third party company that does lights for many brands.
