Most Popular Kuat for 2012 Nissan Leaf

Great rack! This is our third hitch rack: we had a 4-bike Thule for hanging bikes by their tubes and then a 2-bike Thule platform rack whose 100-pound rating didn't permit loading 2 e-bikes, so that was our criterion for the search that led to this purchase. Assembly was not intuitive, so we had to re-do a few steps, but the final product is excellent: very stable. Two cautions: (1) Be sure to check whether any panniers block your tail lights; (2) Always use the included lock because each bike's rear wheel sits on a relatively flat surface and a big bump might dislodge it if the back strap isn't firmly seated.

High quality product! Written directions that came with the product were hard to follow, but we watched a youtube video that helped clear things up. Easier to put together with 2 people, but took us about an hour to unpack and assemble. We use this on a Mazda CX-5, with a 1-1/4" hitch receiver. Went on a road trip - 1,000 miles, no issues carrying 2 road bikes. Love the tilt feature to access/unload the back of the SUV with the bikes on the rack. We also love that the rack tilts forward nicely when no bikes are installed, taking up less space at the rear of the vehicle. It's a bit heavy, but as a 5'5" female of average shape, I can remove the rack myself and place it in our garage (I can't lift it above my waist). Overall, very pleased and recommend to others!
