Expandable Platform Bike Rack Recommendation

Question:

Ive always kind of wanted one of the racks from say Thule or Kuat that look like platforms. Where theres an arm you lift up and secure down onto the wheel or frame, and then basically a tie down/ratchet strap to help hold the wheels Do they make expandable ones of those? Say we would get a 2 bike one now, but be able to add a 3rd or maybe even 4th onto it later? It looks like some do, but Im not sure.

The Küat NV 2.0, part # BA22B does indeed offer add-ons that allow you to carry additional bikes. The one bike add-on is part # KU97FR and the 2 bike add-on is part # BA02B. The base rack includes an integrated hitch and cable lock, and with the addition of the # APBK adapter, the rack can carry fat bikes with tires up to 4-3/4 inches wide.

Küat is definitely my favorite rack manufacturer. The racks are designed by folks that are riding enthusiasts who build bike racks that have features and utility that they couldn't find anywhere else before they started the company. Their customer and vendor support is out of this world, they bend over backwards to make innovative products and keep their customers happy.
