Question:
Hello, I’m thinking of buying a Kuat piston pro with a ramp we currently have a QuietKat ranger e-bike and a trek e-bike with fenders and a back cargo rack would this rack be a good fit?

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 Fat Bike Straps:
- Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202
- Fat Bike Straps for Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH985101
The EasyFold XT uses clamps and wheel straps to secure your bikes so it will work with bikes that have fenders, pannier racks, or step-through frames. It comes with a loading ramp so you don't have to buy that separately, and is super easy to transport. It completely folds up and has wheels and a handle, so getting it from storage to your vehicle is a breeze. It also installs in your hitch without effort; tightening with just the twist of a knob.
