Question:
Looking for information on ebike bike racks. Kuat transfer V2 2 bike rack
asked by: Mike K
Expert Reply:
The Kuat Transfer V2 2-Bike Rack # KU84FR is an excellent bike rack that is compatible with motorhomes, RV's, and travel trailers. This has a weight capacity of 60lbs per bike and can hold up to 3" wide tires; for fat bikes use Fat Bike Adapter Kit # APBK which is an add-on that allows for up to 4.8" wide tires. There are built-in locks to secure the bikes and carrier to your vehicle. While this holds 2 bikes, you can use 1 Bike Add-On # KU57FR to haul a third bike on this rack; keep in mind this 1 bike add-on has a reduced weight capacity of 40lbs. This carrier is not the best option if your bikes have fenders or baskets as the wheel mount arm will interfere with that.
For a carrier that will be compatible with bikes that have fenders or baskets and for a budget-friendly option I recommend the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SA4412B. This carrier secures the bikes by their frame and allows it to be compatible with a large variety of bike designs, including bikes with fenders or baskets. The only downside is that it only fits tires up to 2-1/4" wide. But don't worry; if you have wider tires then you can go with the fat bike version of this carrier # SA4412B-FB which can hold up to 5" wide tires. I recommend adding 8' Cable Lock and Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock # SA984 if you decide to go with one of these Saris bike racks; this will keep your bikes and carrier locked to the vehicle.
You will also want to make sure you have a 2" trailer hitch receiver on your vehicle. If you do not, then feel free to provide your vehicle's year, make, and model so that I can recommend the correct hitch receiver. I have attached demonstration videos for you to check out regarding the bike racks mentioned above. I also attached a link to our electric bike racks that are available.
