electricbikere... Küat sent me their NV 2.0 hitch rack a couple of years back to test and use during my ebike review adventures and it has worked very well. The rack is strong, comes in 2" or 1.24" hitch configurations, supports two or four bikes, folds up, is aerodynamic, and safer to use than a roof rack. I love that it fits a wide range of tire types from road bikes to plus sized mountain bikes and even fat tire bikes. Hitch racks are great for heavier electric bicycles because they provide more support than hang style racks... though they are expensive. The thing about the 2.0 NV hitch rack from Küat (and most other hitch racks) is that you still need to lift the bike up in order to load it onto the rack. Thule has introduced a folding rack called the Easy Fold that includes a ramp and now Küat has an optional $89 rack that's super easy to install and use. In this video, Marc and I unbox the NV 2.0 Access Bike Ramp and then install and test it.
Pros:
Easy to install
Doesn't take much space, slides to be compact
Cons:
Stores separately from the bike rack
Made from steel that could rust if the powder coating paint is scratched off
More expensive than I expected
Other:
Weight: 5.8lbs (2.63kg)

Dimensions: 34.5" x 4.25" x 4.25" (87.6cm x 10.8cm x 10.8cm)

I also reviewed the Küat NV 2.0 hitch rack all on its own and posted about it here: electricbikere... EBR was paid to perform this review #Sponsored We try to be honest, thorough, and fun! Comparison tools, shop directory, and forums at: ElectricBikeReview.com
