Let me start by saying this rack is a BEAST. After hauling two heavy e-bikes (my EUY fat tire and my partner's MTB Cyberbike), I can confirm it lives up to its 140lb capacity claim. The rubberized hooks kept our bikes scratch-free, and the dual locks gave us peace of mind during coffee stops.
The tilt feature is genius - just remove the safety pin and voilà! Trunk access restored. Though pro tip: you might need to remove bottle holders for perfect clamp positioning (annoying but worth it).
Now, the elephant in the room: assembly instructions deserve their own horror movie category. The steps are numbered like a drunk wrote them - #3 at the top, then #2, then #4... what?! I nearly threw the manual across the garage before finding a YouTube tutorial that saved my sanity.
Other quirks? The black finish disappears at night - I added reflective tape for safety. And while the anti-wobble pin helps, there's still some sway (my husband MacGyver'd a solution with extra straps). Loading 70lb e-bikes definitely requires teamwork too.
Final verdict? If you can survive assembly hell (or skip straight to YouTube), this rack delivers where it counts - securely transporting your precious e-bikes without breaking a sweat. Just maybe keep some silicone spray handy for maintenance!
