Volkswagen Beetle Hitch Bike Racks Installation And Review Videos

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2012 Volkswagen Beetle- Video

Today on our 2012 Volkswagen Beetle we're going to be test fitting the Kuat Transfer 2-bike rack for 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, part number TS02G. We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's take a closer look and show off some of the features. The most prominent feature about this bike rack is the fact that this can tilt away from the vehicle with both bikes still attached. To do that, holding onto the bike rack, we'll push this pedal down here and let it come forward. Now with it tilted away, we're going to have total access to our rear trunk area so we can get whatever we need. We'll just lift it back up into its original position and set the keys aside. How this actually attaches to the bike rack, we're going to have two points of contact. more

Hollywood Racks Trail-Rider Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2012 Volkswagen Beetle- Video

Today on our 2012 Volkswagen Beetle, we're going to be test fitting the Hollywood Rack Sport Rider Two-Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches, part number HR200. We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's take a closer look and show off some of the features. First off, you can see that the bike rack has a raised shank to it, so even if your hitch does sit particularly low to the ground, it's not going to create any issues of clearance between your bike rack and the ground. The wheel cradles are adjustable along the arms by loosening and tightening these knobs, and this is to accommodate both loading and to accommodate bikes of different sizes as well. How the bike actually grips to the bike rack, we'll have three points of contact. At the base, we'll have these hook-and-loop straps with each wheel, and then we'll have this padded frame hook up at the top, and it's padded to ensure that your bike's frame doesn't get scratched once it's being installed. Let's go ahead and take the bike off and set it aside. We'll start with the hook-and-loop straps, and then move on to our frame hook. more
