Kuat NV2 Weight Capacity for Ebike?
Question:
I have a 2017 Subaru Impreza 5-door hatch. Is the Kuat NV2 capable of carrying a 50 lb. sans battery Ebike and a road bike? I'll be using a DT 24886 1-1/4 hitch. I'm concerned about the weight of the E-bike, so which of the other platform racks would also be suitable?

Expert Reply:
The Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack, # NV12G, has a weight capacity of 60 lbs per bike, leaving room to spare when hauling your Ebike and road bike, and I would recommend it for your 2017 Subaru Impreza.
You do have other options, including the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Platform Rack, # TH903202, which has a weight capacity of 65 lbs per bike, will fit with 1-1/4" hitch, and is made to be used with Ebikes.
