[QUOTE="TXRaptor, post: 1502796, member: 181"] Based on all of the excellent reviews on many of the bike forums, I was considering the 1UP for my two e-bikes. They each weigh 49 lbs and I wanted a rack strong enough to carry both on the back. We had the bike shop add full-size polycarbonate fenders to our Aventon Pace bikes, so the 1UP was no longer an option due to the way it holds the bikes by pressing down on the tires. For bikes with fenders, the best option I found was the Kuat NV 2.0. It uses a single padded arm which holds the bike by the front tire or top bar with a heavy duty strap for the rear tire. The bikes are very easy to load with a single person, so I can do it myself while my wife packs the rest of the truck. When mounted, the tires are higher than the rear exhaust on our trucks. It has been rock solid on the trips we have taken and I recommend it for those where the 1UP will not work. [URL]https://www.kuatracks.com/product/nv-2-0/[/URL] [MEDIA=youtube]OIBQ3ahqN6I[/MEDIA] I also read about the wheel melting so at the end of one of my longer trips, I checked the wheels on the bike closest to the tailgate and they were not any hotter than the rest of the bike. :cool: [/QUOTE]
