User questions & answers

Question:	Can you load the bike by lifting it up one end at a time? I have an ebike that is too heavy for me to lift up all at once
Answer:	No. you need to purchase and extender (not sure what they really called up-down... something) it's available in kuat.com and amazon.
Question:	Does this sway back and forth while you drive with bikes on it
Answer:	I'm not too familiar with the Jeep Wrangler. I use my Kuat Sherpa 2.0 on a GMC Yukon with a standard 2" Reese hitch without an extender. The bike rack tilts down far enough (even when loaded with bikes) that I've never had an issue opening the rear, top hinged hatch door.
Question:	will this rack work with an external spare tire on the back of the car; Toyota RAV
Answer:	You will have to remove it for any automatic car wash. It interferes with the machines and they'll make you remove it. I am specifically looking at this rack, however, because it is light and tool free to remove. It will last and maintain its value much better if you don't leave it outside in the elements as well.
Question:	I read one review that the person had trouble adapting the hitch to a 2" receiver. Has anyone else had that problem
Answer:	The NV 2.0 can handle more weight (60 lb. per tray - Sherpa 2.0 is 40 lb. per tray). NV 2.0 with 2" hitch allows for 2-bike add-on. The NV 2.0 can also handle larger tire fat bikes (with adapter). The Sherpa 2.0 is a lighter weight rack.

About Allen Sports

Dick Allen (pictured left in 1972) started Allen Sports in his garage in 1967. Since its founding, the company has been committed to producing the highest-quality, easiest-to-use bike racks and bicycle related products on the market. Dick, a onetime aerospace engineer, opened Allen Sports after building a prototype bike carrier in his Lincoln, Massachusetts shop in his free time. The first ever trunk-mounted bicycle carrier-made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding) - was refined on weekend excursions to Cape Cod. Shortly afterward, Allen took his design to market, and by 1971 had established a national presence for his product.

Today, the family owned company owns more than three dozen patents, operates four warehouses nationally, six factories abroad, and sells products in countries around the world including USA, Mexico, Canada, and China.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be tilted with the bikes loaded
Answer:	I purchased the 4 bike version and even by itself, it is extremely heavy. It is made out of steel and not aluminum. If the bikes were loaded and you trigger the tilt, it would be very difficult to raise back up. I would not recommend tilting the 4 bike version fully loaded. I presume the two bike version is lighter of its own accord and then it is the weight of the bikes...
Question:	how wide is the rack? it looks like it sticks out past the edges of the car and cant be folded when not in use
Answer:	My rack measures 70 inches for my bike length. The wheel frames cannot be folded up. The rack can be shortened to 56 inches when not in use by sliding the wheel frames in.
Question:	Will regular road bikes with narrower tires work on this rack
Answer:	Of course this is a great rack. I personally have a ebike and a mountain bike that both have 2.5 inch wide tires but I've hauled a friends road bike and there's no movement or bouncing. To whom it may concern this is a yes or no question. Might or might not doesn't work for this question. If you haven't hauled a road bike then please don't guess.
Question:	Will this car bike rack rust
Answer:	I have no idea, but you can buy a Hiroumer bike cover which will protect your bike and your car bike rack well.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this rack tilt away from the vehicle while loaded with bikes for rear access
Answer:	Honestly it depends on how often you use it. Is like a phone battery
Question:	Where is this rack made
Answer:	You could probably use it on your neck but its not suggested to use it over night in the directions. The front side is plastic but the area that touches the body and heats up is a soft material.
Question:	Does the rack really only weigh 17.2 pounds
Answer:	I bought it for my mother, so I don’t know when to charge it, but my mother only said that the switch is too sensitive and easy to turn off.

User questions & answers

Question:	I've noticed the pin that attaches to your hitch is threaded and must be tightened. Do you even need to use a pin once tightened to hitch
Answer:	Hi Billy, yes this cage will be fine for cockatiels. We have an African Grey parrot in it, but it would allow plenty of room for the smaller birds.
Question:	How do u fold it up
Answer:	The bolt fits into the 1" threaded nut, which is welded onto the cup, making a water tight feeding/watering cup. There are little bumps on the inside from the weld, but they don't affect the functioning of the cup. Since I've used my set of two on a PVC play stand I designed and made for my parrots, I also purchased PVC cap ends to accommodate the cups' bolt. (See Photos I've included on reviews.)
Question:	What lock for the hitch so the rack won't get stolen? I have a 2" lock that does not fit
Answer:	Half of my index finger deep (2-3 inches). An apple can fit in it with about a centimeter of free space. Very sturdy, but only works with bird cages with horizontal bars.
Question:	I don't see were it says how it fits on a 1.25 hitch? My order says 2 inch? can i size it down and if so how? i don't see a 1.25 to order
Answer:	My cage has 3/4 inch bar spacing and it works fine. I think it would work for your cage.

User questions & answers

Question:	does hitch pin come with a lock
Answer:	Don't know but make sure you are inserting into a 2" hitch..... think they are all the same size.
Question:	I assembled and installed and used my new hollywood trail rider, but the bikes are swaying *a lot*! Did I install incorrectly
Answer:	Our bike rack is black.
Question:	I have a Jeep Wrangler, does anyone know if it will clear the spare with a bike on it
Answer:	the lowest point at the back of the rack is 4.75 inches higher than the bottom of the tube that goes into the car hitch
Question:	Can you put the post down to the side to get into the trunk
Answer:	None of our racks are approved for use on a trailer mounted receiver hitch. Any trailer or trailered vehicle (including 5th wheel type) has a slight side to side motion that's very low frequency (1 to 1-1/2 times per second) that fatigues the steel from which the racks are manufactured. The fatigue first happens at a molecular level, but eventually (several thousands of cycles later) a visible crack will appear. Once the crack has formed, it will enlarge, finally to the point where the rack drops off the vehicle and the rack (and bikes) impact the roadway. This is also a dangerous situation for whoever may be following the trailer on the highway. We have seen 100+ incidents where the consumers/end user has not taken this advice and suffered disastrous results. I've even had phone calls from consumers who said they read that advice (do not use on a trailer) and ignored it, only to discover a tragic end result. So . . . don't do it. If you insist on doing it regardless of the above, please use some other companies’ rack.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use a regular Pin for securing the rack to the hitch? Or must you use the threaded bolt
Answer:	Note that max weight capacity per bike is 35lb.
Question:	What is the maximum tire width that will fit
Answer:	Yes. Mi,e is new it does sway back and forth. It appears some people answered this about putting the bolt in. The automatic quick release ones do not have a bolt that you put in. It has the locking mechanism on it that is supposed to expand and keep it from wobbling but I can't see it's doing that. Disappointed in that as it makes me feel like it's not entirely safe going down the street. Thought it would be easier to use because it says no tools required to put it on the hitch. But it doesn't seem to be holding as well as the standard ones you palpable through
Question:	Does this rack fit 3 inch tires - not fat just +tires? ie Trek Stash or Roscoe
Answer:	Do not buy any product from this company. We had a 4 bike rack. The frame broke off while we were driving and we lost all 4 bikes. Company would not stand behind warranty
Question:	Does this bike rack have the ability to fold down for rear hatch access
Answer:	It comes with an adapter for the 2 inch receiver and am currently using it on my truck with no problems at all.

User questions & answers

Question:	How well does the "anti wobble" work? at the hitch receivers tend to wiggle alot. i need it to be very firm
Answer:	There's a metal insert that slides inside the hitch, which then slides into the hitch receiver. This insert has a nut welded inside of it that aligns with the hitch pin hole. They provide you with a threaded hitch pin that screws into that nut, which pinches the hitch against one side of the receiver when tightened.

User questions & answers

Question:	how much does this hitch weigh--I see this question before but no one gave an acceptable answer. thx.--Carol
Answer:	The product info says 39.1 lbs. It seems at least that and is fairly unwieldy.
Question:	Does anyone have a good secure locking system for the bikes
Answer:	We use our bike locks thru the bike wheels, bike frame and thru the mount . The only problem is that you must use the threaded pin that comes with the rack to secure the rack in the receiver hitch... Wish I could use the lock I have for the rest of my trailers/etc to secure the whole thing to the truck.
Question:	I read there is a lock available for the hitch, however is there a locking system for the bikes
Answer:	There is not a locking system for the bikes. The bikes are kept securely in place by the vertical bar with removable braces at the top. The bar will not fold down without the hitch key lock but the bikes could be removed by lifting over this bar. An additional bike lock would be recommended.
Question:	Can you buy the 2-bike rack and then an add-on for
Answer:	You can buy the four set up and then only assemble the first half (2) until you want to connect the second half later in life.
