Just take the battery off and it’s solid.
Oh geez. Sorry guys. I suck at reddit.
- its an overdrive from amazon. $250 shipped. Here’s a link
- this suv is great but it’s 14 years old with 200k miles on it. Cost 8k. We like to get quality things but not for msrp.
- sorry about not putting this info later. I couldn’t figure out how to put more than a title and pictures. And apparently my notifications are off. 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
This KAC Overdrive has worked for 2 years for me with 2 Runner1's with over 3K miles up and down the West Coast at up to 80+ mph. There are no issues with the weight limit as long as you take the batteries off. I love the tilting aspect, so I could get into my SUV hatch without having to remove the bike.
They have a 4 bike option, but I have no experience with that option.
I’m using this one. It’s been solid and it allows trunk access.
I used KAC Overdrive hitch rack last summer for 2 RR1’s from Seattle to Bay Area with zero issues. Super secure, knew I could lock the bikes to the rack AND the rack to the hitch without exceeding weight limits or shifting.
I use the KAC Overdrive for 2 RR1’s. Took them up and down the West Coast last summer on the back of my Q7 with only issue being the rear backup sensors going haywire

I've been a fan of these amazon tray style racks. That is the current one I own, and I had a much cheaper variation that I used previously for 10 years before it got rear ended (I actually bent it back and my buddy is using it still). For extra security I use a 12mm chain and huge lock.
I use a KAC Overdrive Sports K2 for 2 Rad Runners and have taken them on thousand mile trips no problems (other than popping some fender rivets cause I kept my speed above 80). If only needing it for one bike, several people mention using a motorcycle carrier from Harbor Freight that includes a ramp.

I've been using this one since early this year and it's awesome. Easy to take on and off. Tilts away from the car so you can still get into the trunk. It's built very well for the price I paid. I got it on sale for around $165.

I've had good success with this one. Very well made and more affordable than some others. Recommended on another forum.

That rack is way overpriced and it’s ugly.
What you want is the KAC Overdrive:

I use this. Couldn’t be happier and it wiggles way less than the 1-UP racks.

Got called out by u/super73uk to post some content, and he’s right! This is a community for Super73 fans and I should contribute, not just comment.
I am just getting started with these bikes and ebike hobby in general. I am glad I went with these bikes! Has a Harley Davidson motorcycle enthusiast, I appreciate a lively community and aftermarket and these bikes have both.
I got these two RX a few weeks ago for the wife and I, mine is the grey one and has over 250 miles already! I feel like a kid again at 43 on this bike, hitting jumps and taking off-road trails for fun. Born and raised in Denver, CO I feel like I have seen all the roads and attractions, but getting out on the bike paths again has been a pure joy and really helps distress from my work in IT, maybe even more so than my Harley.
As for mods, I am here to lurk and see what is working for folks. So far I have just done a bar end mirror on the left on both bikes. I have little alarm systems that I still need to mount. Outside of that my interests are of course more power and speed- I read every post about multiple batteries, larger controllers and etc with interest. My wife will be into making her bike stand out, although that’s not a problem on these bikes - they start conversations everywhere we go.
As far as issues go, I did break a chain the day before yesterday and learned how to repair it (new master link in this case). I have a couple of chains on order as spares from Super73 but wont need them for a while now that I know how to fix. Aside from that, both bikes have been great.
One accessory I got that I’d call out is actually the hitch carrier I got for many truck and RV HERE. Fits both bikes and let’s us drive to where we want to deploy the bikes. We like to camp at RV spots around Colorado and nearby states (the actual reason we got these bikes) so very happy with the rack. I got krytponite chains (for downtown parking and locking in my garage or on car rack) and the foldable locks for quick stops, those have been great as well.
Thanks to the group and u/super73uk, looking forward to more mods and fun on these bikes.
I have Rad Rover and Rad City Step Thru. Bought this rake in 2019. It was $249 back then, but ~ $400 now. Really great rack with little to no wobble when loaded down with bikes. I always remove the batteries as they are too expensive to risk a bump and go flying!

I wouldn't use a trunk rack.
I use this one - https://www.amazon.com/Overdrive-Sport-2-Bike-Hitch-Mounted/dp/B07D94B52G?ref_=ast_sto_dp Very solid and sturdy.
It was recommended on another forum.
There are others from Thule and other manufacturers. They can get pricey.
This one is more adjustable for the locking mechanism.

You just gotta find one rated for a heavier bike. Something like 100lb per bike (if going with a duel rack)
Sorry if I didn’t find exactly what your looking for, but hope I got you on the right track
