Does the Kuat NV 2.0 Work with Bikes with Fenders?
Question:
This says not to use if you need to carry heavy electric bikes, which I do. What would you recommend?
asked by: Susan
Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you. Here at Etrailer, we strongly discourage using wheel-mounted bike racks like the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22B for bikes with fenders. Mounting wheels with fenders can cause the fenders to crack or become damaged, especially with the added bumps and torque from your vehicle when it is in motion.
For a solution that completely avoids any potential for damage, I recommend the Swagman Dispatch Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S44FR. Since the Dispatch mounts your bikes by the frame, it is the safer alternative to the wheel-mount system. Another great feature of the Dispatch is that it includes sliding wheel cradles with ratcheting straps that let you carry bikes with different wheelbases. The Dispatch is also compatible with fifth wheel trailers, motorhomes, flat-towed vehicles, and travel trailers.
