Question:

I am looking at getting the Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack with the Pivot mount for my Revel camper van. I have tried my friends rack and it will work EXCEPT the handle bars on the inside rack come very close to contacting my drives side rear storage box. My question, Can I reverse the direction of the mounts? Front to back and back to front? Allowing the back of the inside bike to be on the Box / drivers side of the van? Or is there any other solution that you can give me. I especially want this rack as I can use the ramp to roll the heavy bike onto the rack, I currently us a Hollywood rack and I am no longer able to life the ebike on the rack.

The wheel trays of the Kuat NV 2.0 part # NV22G are not reversible as they are permanently attached to the spine of the rack. If your other bike has narrower handlebars or maybe different dimensions you might be able to put it on the inside bike tray. The Kuat Piston Pro part # KU76ZR has 1/2 inch more clearance and also works with the pivot adapter # PVP20B.
