Question:
Do you have an ebike rack rated for a Class C RV with a lift assist? Desperately need the lift assist as I am too old to be lifting a 63 - 75 lb ebike up on a rack. I have found that even a 36 ramp does not do it for me.

Hey Becky,
Unfortunately I do not have an RV rated bike rack for e-bikes with a lift assist. The only options we have are going to be something with a ramp like the Kuat Piston Pro # KU48VR with the loading ramp # KU63VR. The reason there is not one is due to the extra torque and movement that is experienced behind a motorhome, something with a lift assist is not built for that application. The Kuat ramp does extend to 54" long which may give you an easier incline to push the bike up.
Are you a full timer in your RV?

Hey Becky, did you get a chance to try out the Kuat ramp with the longer extension? I'm curious if it made loading your e-bike any easier, as I'm always looking to help others in similar situations.
