The simple release makes me nervous that any passerby can accidentally release the bike by simply pressing on the quick release. 1Up needs two hands to release tension on the wheel holder.
Nice, now almost every brand is making the platform hitch bike racks, nice rack! Still I would go with 1UP USA - so far the best rack, no plastic parts, pure anodized and painted aluminum, super strong and sturdy. This Kuat is probably the competition for Thule, but definitely not for the 1UP.
Hi and thank you for this video. I am very impressed by this rack and plan to purchase soon. I have two heavy fat tire (20" x 4") e bikes with fenders. Would u be so kind as to demonstrate fender bikes on this rack. Thank you.
Hello. We may not have an opportunity to create a fender specific video in the near future, however, this rack is designed to accommodate wheel sizes down to 18 inch diameter and 5 inch wide tires. The fender kit is available separately to better support many bikes with fenders. Here is the Fender Kit instructions to best illustrate how they are used: www.rackattack.com/public/product-instructions/piston_fender_kit-user_guide.pdf Thanks!
Love your videos. But, I wish you demonstrated e-bikes with fenders. I noticed all of your bikes are never e-bikes and no bikes with fenders. In the real world there are more folks with fender bikes and e-bikes with fenders are growing.
Hello Lou, that is totally true! As we don't sell bikes ourselves, we just borrow bikes from staff for these videos, and they don't necessarily have e-bikes themselves. If you have questions about a specific model of e-bike you have, we will gladly look into a fit with you!
