Platform Bike Rack Similar to Kuat Transfer with Capacity for Electric Bike

Question

Question:

Hi - Im very interested in the Kuat Transfer 2 bike rack. However, Im wondering about the weight limit. I believe its 30 lbs per bike? Ill only be transporting one bike, but its an ebike that weighs 55 lbs. If I only used a single rack the one closest to the car, would the Transfer 2 work OK for that? Thx! -

I have a solution that would work well for you, but I cannot recommend the 2-bike version of the Kuat Transfer V2, part # KU74FR for an E-bike that weighs as much as yours does. The wheel hoops are what is rated for 40 lbs so you would not be able to exceed the single bike capacity by staying under the combined capacity with one bike.

Since you're only carrying 1 bike, I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 bike rack, part # KU64FR. This is a single bike rack with a weight capacity of 60 lbs and offers all the premium features of the 2-bike version that you were looking at.

Great question, Hannah. Both use wheel-mount systems and avoid frame contact, but the Crosstrack 1 bike 2" hitch #HLY98RR has a tilt feature and no-tool install thanks to the No-Wobble feature (uses a handle that you twist by hand). The Kuat…

Hey Don! Although both fit the 2024 Ford F-350 it is a little more specific. The EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch #EH54QR is only designed to fit the F-350 dually while the #EH39CR fits the single rear wheel F-350. Neither will fit if you…

Hello again James. Generally, we do not recommend using a frame mounted bike rack like the Hollywood Rack #HLY94FR with a carbon fiber bike. The frame mount clamps or hooks could cause damage to the frame. It could scratch or at worst crack and…
