Review: Very sturdy, no shakes - Had a Yakima OnRamp and could not get my eBike to ride up the ramp safely and it wobbled a bit while driving. I found it easier to move bike alongside rack, hold back brake and pull up front wheel. Put that wheel into rack holder then lift the back wheel onto rack. Cuts the eBikes weight in half thus no need for ramp. Also, with a ramp, you need 12ft or so on EITHER side of vehicle to load bike. The ramp is not practical for me. The cable lock on this rack is kinda funky and getting it locked and opening up the weatherproof cap on the lock is not easy. I will likely use my own cable/lock. Also, this rack does NOT have a welded ring or something to attach a lock cable to. The only way to lock a bike to the rack is to lock the racks cable into a loop and pass your own cable thru that loop. Going down road, this rack does not bounce, the bolts/fittings etc. are very close tolerance. I also found you do not use/need a threaded rod that goes thru hitch. All you need is a 5/8" pin with a lock on the end. The rack has a knob that takes out any slop in the hitch. I have checked the tightness a few times after driving a bit and sometimes I can put back another 1/8 turn but no more. It stays quick snug. Assembly was very quick and simple but the instructions could be improved. Why not give install details about end caps ? I had to take the rack all apart just to get the end-cap inserted properly. Then the wrench/tool. I don't recall any guidance on how to store that tool on the rack. Overall very strongly recommended.
Review: Sturdy - Very sturdy and easy to use. Great for e-bikes

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the rack have a hole in the male receiver to lock it to the car?**
A: It has a hole in the portion that goes into the hitch receiver on the vehicle. Use a pin with a lock.

**Q: So you can fold up the rack when you don't have bikes on it to reduce your parking footprint?**
A: Yes it folds up nicely to reduce the parking footprint and it is very easy.

**Q: Does it work for kids bikes?**
A: Hi, 

Thanks for reaching out! The Kuat NV Base 2.0 will be able to fit wheel sizes between 20"-29", but will require the use of our wheel adapter for wheels between 20"-24". This adapter is not included in the box but we are happy to provide if you send an email to: info@kuatracks.com, or give us a call: 877-822-5828. Unfortunately if the tire is smaller than 20" I could not recommend using this rack.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!

**Q: does it come with hitch adapter for 2 inch hitch?**
A: You can buy it for either a 1.25" or 2" hitch receiver. No adapter necessary.

Very sturdy and easy to use. Great for e-bikes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best bike/ebike rack on the market
*by A***N on December 4, 2021*

Sturdy and very well engineered. Everything on the bike rack is very well thought out. We use it to carry our 2 Evelo delta x's and they weigh about 60 lbs each with the battery off. It handles them very well. There is near zero wobble and putting bikes on and off is super easy and very quick. My bikes have fenders and that is no problem for the rack. I just clamp down as close the fender as possible and I dont over tighten the clamps down. They work great. The integrated cable lock works great for us to run in a restaurant and grab a bite to eat and we worry less. Its not a chain but if you park in a decent spot where the vehicle is secure I would not worry about someone grabbing them. Even Evelo recommends this rack for their ebikes.
