   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.

   This bicycle rack is nothing short of amazing. We have two 50 lb ebikes and the Kuwat holds them like they weigh nothing at all. They are rock solid while we drive over speed bumps and at full highway speed. Lifting them onto the rack takes some doing and I will likely be purchasing Kuwat’s ramp at some point. The anti-rattle system securing the rack to the hitch receiver is easy to use – tighten with the hex wrench which conveniently stores in the tube end. Putting this thing together the first time takes three hands to get the components to line up, but the suggestion to turn it upside down makes it much easier. The rack is heavy, as it should be for the amount of weight it supports, so getting it into the hitch receiver and the lock pin holes lined up takes some practice. I don’t think I completely trust the embedded locks to keep the bikes secured to the rack, so I’ve been locking each bike to the rack (and each other) with their chain locks as well.

   I put it on a 2019 Tahoe. It fits great. You can lower it down so you can open the back hatch. I haven’t tried that with two bikes on it though. I probably should. It doesn’t block the camera too bad when there are no bikes on it but it does seem to block the back up collision sensor so you no longer get a warning when you’re about to back into your garage door or whatever. With bikes attached, it blocks the camera considerably more but not completely and the camera is still functional I would say. It looks awesome. It is very robust, well thought out, well constructed with high quality materials and the tolerances are tight. All pieces were included though it seemed like they weren’t for a few minutes. It is a lot of work to assemble however and the directions are not as helpful as they could be. That would be my only minor complaints. All in all, this thing is really nice, works very well and looks great and I have no major complaints so 5 stars.

   This is the best bike rack I’ve ever owned. It’s super easy to load and unload bikes. The bikes feel really secure on the rack. The rack doesn’t move AT ALL – I love the way you can tighten the hitch mount so there’s no rocking or noise. When not in use, it folds up to a small footprint. Two things – it’s heavy. But I get why. It’s a heavy-duty rack and made very well. Also, the bike lock cables are a little short. But I do like that they’re built into the rack itself.

   Not having used a bike rack before, I was worried about how securely it would hold my eBike, but this has proven to be very easy to mount and use, and despite my paranoia this has proven to hold my bike very securely.If you have an eBike, I would recommend that you also get the accessory loading ramp, since otherwise getting a bike onto the inner mount can put a bit of stress on your back. But, this would be true for any bike rack.

   Great bike rack, easy to load an Electric bike and holds bike firmly. The only thing not so great is the locking hitch pin. It’s a bit cheap and small in diameter.

   Very sturdy and secure. Helpful if there are two people to assemble and install.

   Bike stays secured while transporting. Bought it to carry my wife’s E-Bike.
