Recommended Easy to Remove & Install 2-Bike Rack
Question:
Is there a bike rack for 2 bikes that removes easily? We have a hitch and a Thule rack but even when not in use blocks the back up camera.

Yes, there is a really nice option for a tool-free, easy to install and remove 2-bike rack, from Kuat, called the Sherpa 2.0. The reason this rack is so easy to use is because it uses a knob to tighten in the hitch, so you don't have to spend time on your hands and knees with a ratchet to tighten and untighten a hitch bolt. It is also light, at just 32 lbs, so it's simple to carry.
To install it you just insert it in the receiver, tighten the knob, and insert the hitch pin, which is not threaded. To remove it you do the same but in reverse, and that's literally all there is to it. The Sherpa 2.0 is available for either a 1-1/4" or 2" hitch, and you can choose from three different colors:
- Gray: Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches # SH12G or 2" Hitches # SH22G
- Black: Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches # SH12B or 2" Hitches # SH22B
- Pearl: Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches # SH12P or 2" Hitches # SH22P
The Sherpa 2.0 is one of our highest rated products - not just bike racks - with hundreds of customer reviews giving it a rating very close to an average of 5 out of 5 stars, and one of the things people like most about is indeed its ease of use.
Apart from being easy to use, it also gives you security in the form of keyed-alike locks to deter theft of your bikes and the rack, as well as being one of the (in my opinion) best-looking bike racks on the market.
