Kuat Piston SR Roof Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Wheel Mount - Aluminum

Question:

I am looking for an e-bike carrier to go above tonneau truck bed cover. Do you have something that will hold the heavy e-bikes on the truck crossover rails? I already have the crossover bars on the truck, but I cant find a carrier that will hold the weight of the level e-bikes. This is the only way I can transport the e-bike. The hitch will be used to pull a RV trailer so thats not an option and I cant put anything on the back of the RV trailer.

I sure do Rob! The highest rated bike rack we have that mounts to crossbars is the Kuat Piston SR Roof Bike Rack for 1 Bike item # KU32VR. This rack is for a single bike and has a 67 lbs capacity.

The Kuat Piston SR item # KU32VR uses included clamps to attach directly to crossbars measuring up to 4-1/2" wide x 1-3/4" tall. This is wheel mounted bike rack that secures your Level e-bikes by the wheels not the frame. The adjustable clamps can be positioned to avoid any fenders you may have.

It is highly recommended to remove the battery when transporting your e-bikes. This will help with the capacity depending on what model you have. The Piston SR item # KU32VR weighs only 23 lbs.

What model Level E-bikes do you have?
