Kuat Bike Rack with Ramp For Electric Bikes

Question:

I just bought an electric assist Giant bike. I am very interested in the Kuat bike rack. Is there a specific rack that can use the loading ramp. Also I see the one rack that is recommended for the E bikes...does this one accommodate the loading ramp. Also are their any dealerships in the Ann Arbor, MI area that sells these bike racks so I can see it and talk to someone about it, and also get the hitch Thank you

Actually, the Kuat NV 2.0 rack that you've looked at is one of the Kuat bike racks that's compatible with the # ANVBRB ramp you asked about. The rack is super-high quality with a maximum capacity of 60 lbs per bike. However, since there's only a Class I hitch available for your vehicle, you'll want to go with the Class I compatible rack, part # NV12B.

I'm not sure where you'd be able to see that rack in your area. You could call around to local bike shops, I suppose but I can almost guarantee that we offer it at a lower price. If you have any questions about the rack, I'd be more than happy to answer them. You can see product demonstration videos for the # NV22G bike rack and the ramp which should answer many of your questions by clicking the provided links.

For a compatible hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class I, part # C11441. The installation is very easy, as you can see from the linked installation instructions.
