Our access ramp is gonna make it a lot easier to load up our bike on our NV. You can see you can just easily roll it into place without having to struggle or strain. Normally whenever you go to load up your bike, you have to lift it into place. If you've got a heavy mountain bike, that can just be a little bit more of a strain than you'd like to have. If you've got something even heavier, like a fat tire bike or one of those downhill racing bikes, those can be even more of a strain on your back.Our kits gonna come with our ramp and then an adapter to fit over our NV on the end. Getting it in place is pretty easy, once we have that adapter in place, we'll just affix those two ends onto that adapter.
Then just adjust it out to whatever angle works for you and roll your bike into place. Removing it's just as easy. You can just slide it back together, take it off, and then tighten down the knobs.It's made of a durable metal construction with a nice black powder coat finish so it'll match your NV, if you have the all black one, but black goes with everything so whatever finish you have it'll work.It can handle up to 60 pounds for your bikes so if you've got a cruiser, mountain bike, fat tire bike, this should be able to handle just about anything.The inside width, at the top, is about four inches. Overall it's about 4 1/4. That'll be plenty of space for those wider tires, like your fat bikes.
As far as our depth, it's gonna be about 1 1/2 inches.It's compact enough that you can easily fit it in the back of your vehicle. Then get back to riding.The bracket really isn't gonna change the overall look of your bike rack. It's not gonna interfere with the normal use of it. It does come with two brackets so we can get one mounted on either side. We'll go ahead and show you how to do that now.The kit comes with a tool to remove the two bolts, on the end of the tray, on our NV.
We'll just get those teeth in place. I think, overall, this is kind of the downfall of this kit is that this tool's a little bit short there, to really reach inside but you can get the job done. It's just maybe not the best tool. If you've got a star bit, that'll match that, might be a better option to go with but it is nice that it comes with the tool so you can get it done without having to buy special tools.Now we'll get this one going the rest of the way. Then you'll remove that cap, pull it out.
This'll pop out, don't be alarmed, that's supposed to happen. Then we can just match up our new plate, get our magnet to go back inside our rack, matching it up. Then we'll just mount everything back in place. Nothing too difficult. Just gotta get those bolts threaded back in.With both our adapters in place we can load up both bikes.Now, as far as my overall impression for our access ramp. I think it's a really handy tool to have as an add-on to your NV. My concerns would be that there's a little bit of flex, especially when you have this extended all the way out. That's a little bit concerning but it did the job. Our fat tire bike's pretty heavy and it was able to handle that. I think for your e-bikes, fat bikes, it's gonna be really nice. Especially after you get off the trail and you just don't want to have to work that hard to get your bikes onto your NV rack. This is gonna make is a lot easier so you don't have to struggle as much.

I have an ebike and after riding 60 or 70 mile, just too wore out yo lift the bike up on the carrier. The ramp really works good.
Our overall experience working with Etrailer was excellent. Bay was very informative when we called. She found the information and answered all of our questions. They took our order, and everything went very smoothly. The delivery arrived as promised. We are very pleased with the overall process.
Thank you. Scott and Debbie Holt.
Great product bought from great company. Only issue is the hitch locks cover falls off and seem to freeze up easily. Had to cut one off.
We are seniors with e-bikes and we transport them frequently. The ramp is lightweight and works great so that we don’t have to lift the bikes. This has been a game changer for us!
A great accessory for dealing with our 50-pound e-bikes. It was quite a tight fit to the rack at first, and therefore hard to put into place, but now that a bit of the paint has scratched off from use over the last year, the ramp fits very well and is still quite stable. It might be somewhat shallow for fat-tire bikes, and our 2 Verve 2+ bikes go up onto the rack easily, though we find it best to have one person in front to maneuver the front tire into its scoop while a second in the back keeps the rear tire in the groove. I can unload my regular bike (a 20+ pound Cannonade) myself without the ramp, but am happy to have the ramp for loading it, but I don't think that the ramp is enough help for me to manage loading or unloading my e-bike solo.
Access ramp does what it says. I don't use it much since I'm currently strong enough to lift the bikes on to the rack, but can totally see using this for a heavier bike or if I had issues with lifting.
Came as ordered, super happy to have it. gonna make loading big bikes so much eazier! thank you folks
This was out of stock on the Kuat website and I came across etrailer when searching for the ramp. I reached out to customer service for a question and they were prompt and knowledgable. Will not hesitate to order from etrailer again. Customer service is great and the ramp works as intended.
The only thing I was disappointed in is etrailer gives free shipping at $[XX], my ramp was $[XX] and I still had to pay shipping. I know they have to stick to their policy but tax put me over the $[XX] price. Oh well, no worries I will still use them in the future.
The rack looks great as well as functional for two fat bikes. Have not taken them out yet but expect it to work fine. Will update later. You will also need to have an additional extender as well as security strap as they only shipped one.
The ramp was fairly easy to install on the Kaut NV 2.0 bike rack except the four bolts are quite tight initially.
Ordered this kuat bike ramp and shipped the same day. You cannot get better than that.was only asking if it is available and it was,ordered and shipped the same day. Lori was exceptional.thank you very much.
This ramp is the best thing for heavy e -Bikes.

Working just fine. It’s been a year and not one issue.
Love my ramp for my bike rack, it's saving my elbow, my assist #bike is heavy. THANKS!!!!
Installation was easy to due per the instructions. The ramp operates beautifully. Definitely a great asset when loading the ebikes.
THIS RAMP IS WELL BUILT AND EASY TO USE. I HAVE HAD IT A YEAR, AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUES. MAKES LOADING AN E-BIKE SO MUCH EASIER. I AM IN MY 70’S AND HAVE EVEN USED IT TO LOAD MY MOUNTAIN BIKE WHEN I AM TIRED AT THE END OF THE DAY. MONEY WELL SPENT.
I am a petite person who needed a bike rack for a heavy bike. The first rack I ordered did NOT work for me. etrailer worked out a return and I was able to purchase a Kuat NV 2.0, with a ramp. We had some trouble assembling the rack, but found etrailer prompt and courteous when responding to our request for help. The ramp was really well packed; all parts included. When in the process of ordering, I found the etrailer's site easy to navigate. I was able to check if the rack would work for my model of car. There were lists with suggestions on what products I might need in addition to the basic rack. There were videos which give great info on features, installation, & use. My email questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. Based on the above experience, I have placed another expensive order with etrailer and am counting on the same outstanding customer service [which all vendors would follow their lead!].

Working out well. Get questions about it when people see the ramp. Did end up buying a lighter bike which makes using the rack easier.
It works great. It's simple to use even with our heavy e-bikes.
Could not load ebike without this, when riding along
Had to change my bike carrier that was on order for a month or so due supply problems. Glad I did as I switched and purchased a Kuat in its place. Been using it since last summer and handles two heavy E-Bikes with no problem.
etrailer got my new order for the Kuat completed and into my hands in just about two weeks including shipping to Ohio.
Recently bought 2 e-bikes for my wife and me, each weighing around 55 lbs. Lifting them up and aligning them on my Kuat NV rack was difficult. E-Trailer helped me find this as the right ramp. I have the original NV rack (love it), been using it for many years, and it can support the weight of the new e-bikes. This ramp arrived earlier than E-Trailer estimated (thanks!) and was no problem to install on my rack. I had to make a minor modification to the Inner end pieces of the rack by cutting off 4 little plastic tabs on each after removing them for the installation, in order to make them fit flush with the new rack clips, but the Dremel made short work of that! Reassembled the end pieces, tightened up the security bolts, and tried out the new ramp with the rack on my car: perfect! And makes loading the e-bikes on the Kuat NV rack a million time easier. This has been a great interaction with E-Trailer, and the product (Kuat NV loading ramp) performs flawlessly, even on my original (not 2.0) NV rack.
Lifting two 70-pound ebikes onto the rack was not an option for us. This ramp is an elegant solution.
This is an excellent product! the best bike rack out there, in my opinion. I purchased the extra retractable metal ramp to get my e-bike up and rolled across to the front wheel stirrup. Totally solid and good-looking design. Sturdy and built to last; no wobbles and secure lashing for back tire with the front arm snugly positioned over the front wheel. I love it!
This ramp is very sturdy. Being able to adjust the length is awesome. It makes it much more useable. The ramp made loading and unloading my EBikes possible for me. Without a ramp I’d not be using my bike. I’m very happy with my carrier and the indispensable ramp.
Etrailer is a great company to work with. The website is easy to use and very accurate. My order of a Kuat bike ramp extension and loading ramp arrived to days earlier than promised. I will definitely use them again in the future.
We purchased this ramp to use with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4 Bike Platform Rack because Hollywood does not have a ramp yet. This ramp appeared to be sturdy and the correct size to attach to the loops on the Hollywood rack. With minor adjustments to create an easily removable attachment to the loops it has been working well for out e-bikes.

Still works fine. Not using it as much as expected. Still easier to lift the bike
