Lifting 60- to 75-lb e-bikes can be a strain, but the Kuat Piston ION makes it simple. The included aluminum ramp lets you roll each bike into place instead of hoisting it overhead. Once loaded, the platform keeps both bikes balanced and ready to travel without fuss.
Paint jobs and carbon frames stay safe thanks to the wheel-mount design. The Piston ION holds each bike by the tires, not the frame, so nothing rubs or scratches in transit. Fender-compatible arms telescope to the right length and lock in tight for a clean, no-touch fit.
From highways to gravel stretches, this rack is rated to handle it all. It carries 100 lbs per tray in standard use, 80 lbs per tray on RVs, and 50 lbs per tray off-road. That strength means you can haul heavy e-bikes, fat-tire rigs, or tough downhill builds without second-guessing stability.
Bike sizes vary, but setup shouldn’t be a hassle. The FastFit wheel chocks slide and lock into place to fit 18"–29" wheel sizes, tires up to 4.8" wide, and wheelbases up to 57". Switching between bikes is fast and tool-free, letting you spend more time riding and less time tinkering.
When the trip’s done, the rack stores cleanly in the bed or corner of your garage. The foot pedal lock makes folding and handling simple, and the sandy black finish keeps it looking sharp after every haul.

Ratings & Reviews
It arrived a day early and I have put the rack together. It assembled nicely. I will be loading bikes on in the next few days. Thank you for a punctual delivery. It arrived in good condition.
The rack is very study and easy to assemble. The velcro straps for the fat tires need to be a few inches longer otherwise I'm impressed with the bike rack so far. The true test will be behind my 5th wheel!
I have purchased many bike racks and this built to last a lifetime. I play to use it for our ebikes. Could not purchase a finer product. It came quickly and was supper easy to setup.
The rack has great fit & finish. Easy to assemble and everything is included, ramp & lock. Tried it on our truck and will test it on our RV next. So far so gpod!!
Rating would have been excellent if Kuat had incorporated the 8mm wrench for tightening to the hitch. That wrench comes comes with and is stored in the NV 2.0.
Delivered promptly without damage !! Easy to assemble. You will need a torque wrench for 10 N. and 40Lbs with hex fittings. The rack itself has a nice black finish. The arms move easily. It does come with a cable lock. I would purchase again.
