Availability of Bike Ramp for Loading E-Bike on Kuat Sherpa 2.0

Question

Question:

Im concerned about the bike ramp not hooking onto my Kuat Sherpa 2.0 It appears that it will work for the NV 2.0 but that doesnt say anything for the older version Sherpa. The serial number on my bike rack is sh22g163100180 I purchase a ebike and its so heavy I dont want to hurt my back. Thanks so much

Your concerns are definitely valid because the Access Ramp # ANVBRB was designed specifically for the NV 2.0 and it won't fit the Kuat Sherpa 2.0.

If you really like your Sherpa 2.0 then your best option is to upgrade to the NV 2.0 so that you can load your E-Bike easier. Aside from the adding the ability to use the ramp you probably need to upgrade anyways because the Sherpa 2.0 has a bike weight capacity of 40 lbs per bike and most E-Bikes weigh in around 55 lbs. Even if you took the battery off that would only get you to about 50 lbs. Since the NV 2.0 has a 60 lbs per bike capacity it is better suited for your application.

The NV 2.0 is available in a variety of options as you can see here:

NV 2.0 Base 1-1/4" - # BA12B
NV 2.0 Base 2" - # BA22B

NV 2.0 Metallic Black 1-1/4" - # NV12B
NV 2.0 Metallic Black 2" - # NV22B

NV 2.0 Gunmetal Gray 1-1/4" - # NV12G
NV 2.0 Gunmetal Gray 2" - # NV22G

Review videos have been linked for you to check out. All of these options are compatible with the ramp you are looking at using.

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack…

Answer 5

As long as the flat tow wiring is wired in before the 4-Way #C93ZV and you connect the power for the converter directly to the battery it will work. I have seen several use Magnetic Lights #TL21RK which they will wire in on the main harness to have…

We have some bike racks that will come with and or have the option of adding a ramp, but the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike rack #TH83JV is not one of them. The ramp #ANVBRB can be used with the Kuat NV 2.0 #BA22B. I used this last week and the ramp works…

Answer 11

There is not a ramp that will work with the Kuat Sherpa Bike Rack. If you like the Sherpa then you would probably like the upgraded Kuat NV 2.0 which not only is compatible with the Access Ramp #ANVBRB, but also has a higher weight capacity of 60lbs…
