I have the QuickrStuff rack. I love it and I am really happy with it. Very easy to use and it holds my e-bike well. I even built my own ramp for less than 10 dollars that works perfectly. I also bought the license plate holder that works great.

@mrgold3591 8 ай бұрын

I just picked up the QuikRstuff rack back in Sept/2023. Excellent rack, easy on/off, light weight, no tools needed, and very sturdy at highway speeds of 70-85 mph with a 88lbs Himiway Cobra Pro 4.8" fat tire ebike.

I could lose a little weight by removing the batteries as you suggest but am still over the limit.The rack seems to be very stout but would like to hear for someone has delt with this problem. @@EbikeEscape

Excellent content! Any thoughts on using any of these racks with a swing mechanism like the Yakima Backswing? I want to put this on a camper van and want to swing the rack out of the way. But I also need to be able to carry heavy electric step through bikes with fenders and I haven't found a rack that does it all.

@EbikeEscape 7 ай бұрын

Unfortunately the extenders are going to lessen the capacity of the hitch (unless you have a burly vehicle). Step-thrus with fenders can work without too much hassle with the 1Up/QuikR - I've had a lot more experience with this lately.

@donpeer4477 3 ай бұрын

Suggestion: can you, please, add commentary on the wheel base that racks fit? My GF and I recently converted over to ebikes and the Kuat rack that we use to transport our bikes fit her new ebike just fine. However, mine is several inches longer and didn't quite fit. In order to get mine home I had to use straps and bungy chords to hold it forward so that it didn't roll backwards and fall off the rack!

New to biking. Gave a lot of information in a short period of time. Would be great to have a video showing best racks for different types of ebikes. Gotta Pace 500.3, 55 lbs, and I find too many racks of different kinds with no guide per make/model. Confusing.

Hey Ryan what are your thoughts on the Thule easy fold XT. Think it can support an aventon level(62lbs with battery) and a juiced ripcurrent s(76lbs with battery). I’m asking because I trust your expertise.

@EbikeEscape Жыл бұрын

Have not used one myself but I do see it as a popular choice. It's a quality brand for sure and if it can handle the weight then go for it!

@bensonr2 11 ай бұрын

@@EbikeEscape I'm replacing one with a Mach 2 cause I banged it up (my fault). It was decent but really fiddly to get the clamps my ebikes with fat tubes. Plus as I say I banged it up. Its very plasticy in places and it did not take much at low speed for me to destroy it. I just feel the build quality does not match the price.

@RainBitcoins Ай бұрын

I do food deliveries and added a pakir food bag/box on the back rack and now my front wheel wobbles badly if i take my hands off the handlebars.. I wonder if I need to add some sort of stabilizers bars under the rear rack... Anyone have experience with what I'm talking about?

@geoleo2597 7 ай бұрын

Please review the Rhino Built ramp. It looks to be a copycat of the 1up rack almost exactly. Its much cheaper and the plus is the handle to tilt is at the front not the rear $500 for the Hollywood rack? I had that rack before and it's crap. It's flexy not robust at all, not easily adjustable, and contact between bikes is hard to adjust. It does not instill confidence whilst driving down the road

@EbikeEscape 2 ай бұрын

I'm not familiar with 1.25" since most often they can't handle the weight of an ebike.

@darrylswanson1199 5 ай бұрын

I have a Honda Civic. You showed no trunk mounted models?

@EbikeEscape 5 ай бұрын

Correct. I think putting a trunk mounted E-Bike rack on a Civic, would leave you with a dented or damaged trunk. I would look into a 1 1/4" Hitch mount for the civic, and then there are quite a few options on the market for you.

@gasmail99 Ай бұрын

I have a Biria S-5 E-Bike, which weighs 68 pounds and has fat tires. What rack would work well with this?

@EbikeEscape Ай бұрын

As long as you have the weight capacity on the rack you choose it should work - it is just going to be how it attaches to the rack with wheel mounts or bottom trays.

@kerusso3568 Жыл бұрын

Are there any racks for a 1 1/4 receiver hitch?

@EbikeEscape Жыл бұрын

Yes. Most of these racks come in a 1 1/4" receiver size. You just need to be more aware of your total weight as most 1 1/4" receivers on cars have a lower tongue weight capacity then 2" ones.

I wonder why no one's created a heated, battery operated battery cover. They make heated clothing so a small cover to keep your battery warm in winter shouldn't be hard to create.

Guessing because a battery is a potentially combustible, flammable thing unto itself, and does best in straight up ambient temperature ranges, not close-by heat sources? Have you been able to ride at all in winter? (I'm a brand new ebike owner, located an hour south of the Mackinac Bridge, for reference.)

The biggest problem with all of these racks, is they do not have lights on them. When the bikes are loaded on them, the tail and brake lights on the vehicle are not visible. These rack should be classed just like a trailer . They should have lights , or capable for light s.
