Strengths

  • 65 lb per-bike capacity (130 lb total) handles virtually any consumer ebike.
  • Included fold-away loading ramp lets you roll heavy ebikes up instead of lifting.
  • Foot-pedal tilt gives full trunk access with both bikes loaded.
  • Folds compact with transport wheels and a carry handle, stows in a trunk.
  • Fully locking, with torque-limiter knobs that click at correct clamp pressure.

Weaknesses

  • $1,100 is steep, OutdoorGearLab notes cheaper options for riders who can lift their bikes.
  • Frame-clamp arms need the carbon-frame protector accessory for carbon bikes.
  • Plastic moving parts raise long-term durability questions.
  • 3-inch max tire width stock; true fat-tire ebikes need the XXL strap kit.
