About KAC Overdrive Sports K4 2 Hitch Mounted Rack 4-Bike Platform Style Carrier
Overall Feedback:
86% positive
83% found the rack stable, but 17% experienced wobbling
When on the road, the carrier is stable with not much wobble at all.
The stability of the bike rack is still great.
While driving, the rack has started to loosen and tip over, which is a safety concern.
84% felt their bikes were secure, but 16% had concerns
I docked a star in security because the 2-4 connection can be removed with a wrench and it cannot be locked, which could allow someone to remove the back half with two bikes if they are motivated.
I feel that the locking mechanism and other security aspects are not up to the mark. However, I have a solution for it. With a bad ass steel cabling, wrapping up all the bikes, and locking it up with a hard-to-get-to alarm padlock, I can still secure the bike.
83% found the installation process straightforward
I found the assembly of the bike carrier straightforward and easy to put together. It was also easy to install on the car.
I installed the bike within 30 minutes and found the process very simple.
I found the installation process intimidating at first, but I was able to find helpful videos on youtube and a step-by-step video from a gentleman that made it easier.

85% found it easy to load and unload their bikes
Hauling a family of four bikes around is a pleasure and it's easy to use.
The tilt-away function is easy to use and makes flipping up when not in use simple.
Loading and unloading my bike is quick and easy once it is set.
The product is easy to use and very sturdy.

82% liked the durable construction, but 18% found it flimsy
The product is durable enough to survive being driven over by a truck and parked on top of it for 20 minutes without any damage.
The rack is very sturdy, indicating its durability.
I am concerned about the durability of the rack. It is thin and reinforced, and I expect it to be the failure point down the road.
The rack is not very durable and the tighteners that keep the arms down over the bike strip out pretty easily.
83% appreciated the high capacity, but 17% found it insufficient
I am satisfied with the rack's capacity. I have used it for 2 bikes many times and now I carry 3 and 4 bikes on it almost every weekend.
My small car cannot handle the full capacity of four e-bikes.
