😂 I love that when I sent them an email about having a 2 wheel lock system instead of that idiotic 1 wheel one they never even got back and replied 😂 a few months later that 2 holder system comes out. The one holder system is a fail waiting to happen as you also have to secure the rim of the front wheel as well so the bike does not rock backward and the lock widens.
@@ElectricBikeReport I don’t have a carrier in mind. Ideally I would like something that can travel long distances in the weather. A hard cover would be great, for three bikes. We have a 5th Wheel RV and the bikes would be primarily for when we are out with the RV. The potential for 3 different bikes would be nice. The RV has a 2” receiver with the capacity of 3,000 pounds towing and roughly 300 pounds hitch weight. I’m sure I could stretch that a little bit between three bikes and a carrier but probably not by more than 50-80 pounds. If you have a package with three bikes and a carrying system I am ready to buy something. I would like to keep the bikes below $2,500 each. My wife, myself and 21 year old son. The potential for some off-roading would be nice but my wife would me more of the “Lectric One” something that will get up to or close to 40mph would be a plus.
Disappointing that they don’t support bikes with full rear fenders. My wife’s Trek has a full rear fender and the Saris MHS rack has an adapter that works great with fenders. We travel 1500 miles without any issues.
Good review!! But...$1400 for a rack with just a 67-pound-per-bike capacity...can't even hold a number of eBikes...including our Aima Big Surs. I'll stick with the Young Electric Mate R for $389.
Hi, I'm Jen from Freedare ebike. We've emailed you about a potential collaboration and are eagerly awaiting your response to talk in more detail and move the collaboration to the next step.
kuat makes beautiful bike racks i would use but their weight capacity is a joke. many class 2 and up ebikes can weigh 90 to 110 lbs without a battery. that is why you go with other racks actually made for ebikes like a hollywood rack, 1up or other rack that support 100+ lbs.
Made in China unfortunately. And if you are like me and want just a single rail model, their SR does not have the LED lights. Their excuse is that there is no room for it but it is the same rail design and could be placed in the same spot. Also, if you are driving an SUV with a rear hatch that opens upward, you can't fold the rail away from the back of the car to get into the car... you'll have to remove the bike and then open the rear hatch. Not ideal and kind of lazy (LED left out).

Hello, do you know the measurement from the hitch base up when folded up? Thank you.
Great review, thank you! Looking forward to seeing more rack reviews.
You bet! Any in particular you're hoping to see?

At this price point it is unforgivable not to have the locking cable integrated
GREAT REVIEW
Thanks for the review
Thanks for watching!
I have one and love it!

I love how they showed a fat e-bike as a downhill bike. 😆
When you go to 4 trays, it's actually 40 pounds per tray, not 50.
Correct, if Griffin said 50 somewhere that was a mistake. Thanks for clarifying
This thing weighs 76lbs alone!

So copied off 1ups. Buy a 1ups that is also US made with better quality.
1up-usa?
