This KAC E2 Hitch Receiver Mount Bike Rack Carrier is the perfect way to transport your bikes safely and securely. It has a 2-bike capacity and fits most trucks, SUVs, and cars. The platform tray style, compact folding design makes it easy to install and store. An adapter is included for added convenience. Unfortunately, this bike rack is not suitable for RV use. Rated as one of the best Bicycle Car Racks based on easy to install, overall satisfaction, value for money, and build quality, this bike rack is sure to exceed your expectations.ClaudiaClaudia: I received it two days ago (waiting for hitch install) and put it together in about 30-40 minutes (could’ve been faster if I watched the video instead of reading the instructions). Overall, good for the price and honestly the “used” condition meant the packaging was opened but the rack itself was brand new (saved $50). The rack was easy to assemble and overall sturdy but the middle (main) post wobbles when driving over 30 mph. It has the hitch lock on but I’ll probably replace it with a bigger screw to prevent wobble. 5/5 would recommend

I just received this carrier today and was anxious to see how it performs.
Assembly went fairly well, but the instructions could be more detailed.
2 extra "spare" plastic pieces were included, but not shown in the instructions, and almost no info on what they are for.
My Prius has a 1.25" hitch which I had professionally installed when I purchased the car. I think it has a label with "Curt" on it.
I just recently bought an ebike and I wanted a platform carrier to take it to nice riding locations.
I only plan to place 1 bike on the carrier; it weighs ~50 pounds with the large battery installed. I may remove the heavy battery when traveling.
One of the first things I noticed during installation is that the horizontal bar that attaches to the car receiver **has way too much vertical movement**. I don't want the rack/bike bouncing up and down a lot while driving. Since this might be due to the receiver opening being too large I decided not to deduct 1 star for this. I did attach a hitch clamp which essentially eliminated the vertical play.
I also was not confident in the pin that goes vertically in the vertical bar, so I installed a good bolt to...

SRS: We have been very happy with this bike rack. Having used a bike rack that you strapped onto the back door/trunk of a car for quite some time I was looking for a move to a trailer hitch rack. I can say that his rack has been great. It took no time at all to put together. It is sturdy with no discernible wobble when driving. Putting the bike on closest to the car can sometimes be tricky but we are using this with beach cruisers that have wide handle bars (and wheels). I only wish that the rack would tip up but always is sticking out a couple feet (which can make it difficult to parallel park). Otherwise, if you don't mind taking the rack off and on (which is pretty easy) I would recommend this as an extremely affordable option. The only reason that I subtracted a star was the bar is too short to hold two female bikes. I bungee together which fixes the issue.

JiNLiNJiNLiN: The media could not be loaded. We have looked at many hitch bike racks for months, about a weeks ago came across this new offering without review, I was hesitated at first because it is new on Amazon but decided to make purchase anyway since Amazon offers good return policy and the seller has other bike rack products that has almost perfect review. I’m glad I did. I am THRILLED with the purchase, overall great pricing, solid quality, and works perfectly and it rides steady on the road. It also comes with hitch adapter, so it will work with 1.25” or 2” hitch receiver, very convenient if you have both size receiver in your household. Great Product! Highly recommended if you’re on the market to get a hitch bike rack!

Steve GriffSteve Griff: I had read reviews on many “bargain” carriers because I really did not want to spend hundreds on a bike rack (especially after already spending more than I’d ever thought I’d spend on a bike with no motor lol!). After finally choosing this carrier, I kind of expected this somewhat lightweight package to arrive.
I was quite surprised that the package was not all that lightweight! Parts felt heavy duty and well constructed. Instructions were pretty straight forward for the most part (although it took me a minute to figure out what the extra parts actually were…a backup pair of plastic inserts for one of the tire cradles…you’re welcome lol). I have a 1 1/4” receiver so removed the pretty stout metal 2” conversion sleeve.
After assembly and installing on the vehicle, it is very stable! There is only slight movement due to being able to remove pins to fold the center stand down for lift gate access. But very solid at the hitch mount itself. Pretty substantial threaded bolt as opposed to a hitch pin, so not a quick attach/detach if you’re not wanting to keep the rack on the vehicle at all times. The bikes looked very secure...
