The KAC bike rack is easy to assemble and use. Very rugged with no wobble or rattles. Holds my step thru ebike with no added bars or attachments required. The ratchet hold down system works very well and has a lock and key. Holds my 4 inch fat tires with room to spare. The included tie down strap adds additional security but the bike is plenty stable without it. I recommend using it as safety redundancy is always a good thing. You can’t beat this rack for the price. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality.

I don't typically write reviews, but felt compelled, as this bike rack works very well for the wife and my E-bikes - one fat tire and the other normal size tires. My bike is just under 65 pounds with the battery off, and hers is just under 50. So we just make the weight capacity with a few pounds to spare. I put the heavier bike on the inside. The rack went together easily with good directions. It is very sturdy and the bikes feel secure. I only have two "complaints" that I would hope for in a future updated version. Otherwise, it would be a perfect 5 stars. My 3.3" tires fit the mount perfectly, but for my wife's bike, I had to wrap the rack where the tires sit, with pipe insulation, otherwise my wife's derailleur would be slamming into the tire rack if there was any movement whatsoever during transport. This scared us, so we wrapped it, and now it is safe. The other precaution she takes is shifting to 1st gear before loading the bike, keeping the derailleur farthest from contacting the rack. My other complaint is that you cannot load the bikes with the vertical post in the down position. This makes it almost impossible to load a bike with one person,...

I spent a long time looking at different hitch-mount carriers for my and my wife's electric bikes. We have two electric mountain bikes, one a hard-tail with a Yamaha PW-X mid-drive and the other a full-suspension Haibike with a Bosch mid-drive. These are both heavy and expensive bicycles and I wanted something that would be safe and sturdy for transport. The bikes themselves are worth about 8 times what the car we are hauling them is worth. I looked at the Hollywood rack, the Thule, and others. This seemed to be the best value.
The ratcheting mechanism appears to be bomb-proof. The components are not made from cheap plastic. The polymer is substantial and almost feels like it is reinforced with fiberglass. Our first trip with the bikes was a 500 miles on the highway and rough roads and the rack did an excellent job.
I saw a user comment about needing to switch the orientation of the upright support piece. I do not have any idea why you would need to do this unless your bikes have substantially different top-tube heights and you plan on putting the smaller (or lower top tube) bike nearest to the vehicle. If you are thoughtful when you orient and...

This is a fantastic bike rack for SUV's. It is super heavy duty and sturdy. It has locks on both arms that hold the bikes and it locks onto your hitch. It tilts back with the bikes on to access the hatch or folds up when not in use. It is comparable to a Yakima in features, but more affordable.
We have heavy electric mountain bikes and this rack is solid for them. The arms are very easy to push down and lock the bikes on. Great Value.

Then I found this rack… I’ve had it for over a month and I find it to be incredibly sturdy, easy to put on and take off, and best of all, it fits my Wrangler without any extra extension pieces! We’ve used it a handful of times so far without any issues. Our bikes stay put. I added a few pics for those wanting to see clearances with bikes on and off. Happy biking!
