The Costco bike rack was recalled, so I got a new replacement.

They should clearly advertise the maximum wheel base the rack can handle. I bought one and had to take it back to Costco, my bike was a 52 inch wheel base. Why Kilimanjaro made the rack so short is beyond me when it can handle heavy bikes. To me that is a design error that reduces their market potential.
i had same issue with one of my bikes although I was able to turn handle bars 180 degrees thus shortening the wheel bas by about 1 1/2 inches or so which made it useable
I made that mistake and bought the Sam’s one thinking it was the same thing since it came up when I searched for e-bike racks. It is NOT for e-bikes. The wheel wells won’t fit the tires even if it would hold the bike. I’m so bummed that Costco doesn’t have these anymore!
You got to keep on top of tightening the hold down straps/ binders. Lost one, phone the importer/ supplier… surprise, surprise no parts to purchase. Pity.
Very good effort on the video, thank you. I noticed that at 6.12 location on the video the strap is touching/rubbing the spoke. I wonder this type of strapping can damage the spokes. When the car is in movement or going over a pothole, the strap may put pressure on the spoke. And weaken it. Has this occurred to anyone.
I bought one that looks like this one. I think it came from China. It was assembled incorrectly from the factory. I took it to a bike shop and they corrected it. Then I put it on my hitch and the pin would not go into the hitch. I decided to return it. Proceed with Caution. It's not worth losing your bike and having it fall off the rack. I have had that happen to me.with another rack. Mine is an ebike..it sustained some damage!
yes, not worth to risk! Costco recalled them. I already got different and about the same price with most the same function th-cam.com/video/UfvFjk3rfHQ/w-d-xo.html
I'm wondering if anyone else has a class I receiver like me... I am having difficulty finding a 1.25-2" hitch receiver adapter that has holes like up with the ebike carrier tension pin.

Need to check their box or user manual. May be they have it somewhere.

Try 1 Up USA
Mine doesn't have the silver lock pin that goes in the hole. Did anyone else have that issue?

The Amazon link is no good...didn't try the one for ebay after Amazon failed so not sure about it
will need to check they might sold out or removed
I could not find this at the Costco app. I guess you have to buy in-store?
Sold put or discontinued
@@eridesrecalled due to hitch weld failure
How many pounds does it hold?
100lbs each bike max
That lock is a joke
you can use different lock
