• Can Kuat Piston ION Be Used On 5th Wheel Hitch With Frame Mounted Hitch
  Hey Daniel! The Kuat Piston ION E-Bike Platform Rack # KU89SR can be used on trailers as long as the hitch is attached to the chassis/frame. Since you have a frame mounted hitch on your 5th wheel it is compatible and will work well. The bike capacity is reduced to 80 lbs per tray when used on a trailer, and Kuat also requires the Fender Strap Kit # KU43VR to help keep the bikes secure during travel. What kind of 5th wheel and e-bikes do you have?

• Kuat Piston ION Bike Rack Clearance for Travel Trailer with Rear Spare Tire and Fendered Bikes
  Hi Guy, thank you for reaching out and for providing all those details. Based on the information you've shared, the Kuat Piston ION E-Bike Platform Rack part # KU89SR will work very well for your setup. The closest part of the rack sits about 14-1/4 inches from the hitch pin hole, so with the spare tire mounted on the rear bumper and adjustable side to side, you will have the clearance needed. From what you've described, the travel trailer's hitch is attached to the frame, not the bumper...

• Can Bikes With Fenders be Carried With Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack
  Yep, you can definitely load bikes with fenders on the Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitch # KU66ZR or 2" Hitch # KU76ZR. For either rack, all you need to do is wrap straps around the tire and ratcheting arm with the Fender Straps # KU43VR. Using those straps will protect the fenders from coming into contact with the rack's arm. If your bikes are heavier and you want some help lifting them on either rack, there is also an option to do that by adding the Loading Ramp # KU63VR.

• Can Kuat Piston Pro Carry Veloctric Nomad 2x
  Hey Tom, you can definitely use the Kuat Piston Pro part # KU89SR with your Veloctric Nomad 2X bike but you will need the fender strap kit part # KU43VR which was designed for bikes just like yours that have fenders.

• Kuat Piston ION Fit for Specialized Vado with Fender and Required Wheel Straps
  Bruce, Yes, that will work with your Specialized Vado 5.0, and the Kuat Piston ION part # KU89SR is actually built to handle bikes with fenders like yours. You can position the rear piston below the fender, but you will need to use the Kuat Fender Straps, part # KU43VR, to properly secure the wheel without putting pressure on the fender. That is really the key to making this setup safe and solid. The arms should always contact the tire, not the fender, and the fender straps are what...

• Will Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack Fit 2024 Ford Transit T350
  Hey Michael! The Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU76ZR is a really great option I think you'll be happy with. This is Class B compatible so you will be able to use it on your camper van. It looks like those bikes have fenders so you will also need the Fender Straps for Kuat Piston Pro # KU43VR. An optional ramp # KU63VR is also available. As far as clearance is concerned, I can't say for sure if you will be able to open the rear doors or not. I did attach the full measurements...

• Do You Have to Have 4-Way to Use Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack
  Good question, and it is not a necessity for your car to have a 4-way flat trailer connector in order to use the Kuat Piston Pro X bike racks. The 4-way connector that plugs in between the bike rack and the 4-way on your car (if you had one) comes separately in a parts bag, so it is not actually attached to the rack. I have added a photo for you which shows where you'd plug it in so you can see it is not connected to the rack. So you definitely do not have to use a 4-way with the rack...

• Best Bike Rack For QuietKat Ranger Ebike & Trek Ebike With Fenders
  Glad you asked because while we do have an option for you, the Kuat Piston Pro # KU98VR is not a good choice for your QuietKat Ranger ebike. Reason for that is the rear pannier rack on the Ranger would require you to use the Piston Pro's Fender Straps # KU43VR, and those straps only work on bikes with wheelbases up to 45 inches. Your Ranger has a longer wheelbase, so you'd need a different rack, and the best one for your bikes is the Thule EasyFold XT, and you'd also need to add its longer...

• How To Keep The Excess Rope From Malone SpeedLine Pro Tie-Downs Wrapped Up Securely
  Thanks for reaching out, Maureen. You can cut the rope on the Malone SpeedLine Pro Tie-Downs with Ratchets and Carabiners # MAL62SR. I would recommend not doing that so you always have enough rope to pull things tight or if you ever need to use it for a different application. To keep the excess rope wrapped up, you can use a strip of Velcro. Kuat makes a set of Velcro straps for securing a bike, but they work great for keeping extra rope bundled as well. They are part # KU43VR. And for...

• Does Euphree City Robin X Work on Kuat Piston Pro without Adapter Straps
  The front fender of your Euphree City Robin X is small enough to allow the Kuat Piston Pro part # KU76ZR to work without the strap but if you have the rear fender/rack on the bike the rear wheel attachment would require the strap part # KU43VR. If you don't have the rear fender setup then you'd be fine.

• Parts Needed to Use Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack on 2023 Buick Envision
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94NR is a great choice for carrying the Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU98VR on your 2023 Buick Envision. This bike rack does feature lights on the outer part of the frame that I recommend utilizing so you'll also want to install the T-Connector Wiring Kit # C56325 and mounting brackets # 18144 and # 18140 for that feature. The Piston Pro X features other accessories like the Fender Straps # KU43VR that allow you to carry bikes with fenders or the Loading...
