Hitch bike rack for 2019 Levo?

[Casey]

I just ordered a XL 2019 Expert but my current old school strap on trunk mount rack will not work. I have an older sedan and I’m thinking that I will have to install a hitch and use a hitch mounted rack. The XL wheelbase is almost 50” and most the standard wheel clamp racks are for bikes up to 48” wheelbase.
Does anyone have an XL and/or any suggestions on a good way to haul a 2019 Levo using a sedan? Thanks!

Hi Casey,
I use a Kuat Sherpa for my medium sized Levo. I love the rack and checked to see if they offer one that'll fit your bike but it turns out they don't

Thanks Tim! That one looks like it will work great and it’s about half the price of the Thule fold up one I was considering. This one also looks like it would work with front and rear Mudhugger’s on the bike too.

I use a Thule T2 and with my 2019 Levo large there is still a little adjustment left so I guess it will fit an XL

I got a RockyMounts MonoRail Solo Platform Hitch from Backcountry for my Large Levo. It fits perfect so it may fit an Extra large also as it seems to have adjustment.

I have a Kuat NV2.0 that I use for 2 e-bikes. I have a HaiBike FullSeven and my wife a Specialized Turbo Levo HT. There is room left to a longer wheelbase.

Thule is top quality and sturdy. I have a Trek Powerfly 9.7 MED and a Trek Townie SM. It handles the weight with ease.

I will put a plug in for 1-up bike racks. I have the super duty single on my Tesla Model S and love how easy it is to get my 2019 Levo on and off and also how easy it is to get the entire rack on and off my vehicle.

I have Thule 934100 EasyFold XT. It has 90 kg capacity, so easily 3 e-mtb's

I have had 4 different top of the line racks. The one up usa is by far the best rack available. It is light and easy to remove and put on, personally mine stays on their and only pull it off if I am going to run thru the car wash. nothing touches your bike or rims just the rubber tires. Your local bike shop will not even mention them because the only way to get them is direct from the company

I have the Kuat NV2.0 and have no problems fitting my XL Giant Trance E+1 on it, along with my wifes Medium E+3.

Anyone here with a Tesla Model 3 and a bike rack fitted to it?

1UP Super Duty as well!

Does anyone have a small frame Levo Comp and a Thule Easyfold XT?

I just bought the Thule and couldn’t for the life for me get the arm to fit anywhere on the frame. I found that the clamp wouldn’t close enough onto the frame.

heartbroken - I’m away for 4 days and my new Levo is at home as I had no confidence it was mounted correctly!

Thule Easyfold XT3 here. Works fine! Also for two levo's.

I would not consider anything except the Kuat NV2 or the One UP.

Works fine with S3 Kenovo, Small Levo and normal mtb. I have EasyFold XT 3

where on the rack do you put the small Levo? And what part of the frame do you clamp it too?

On the small there’s very little real estate on the frame and closest to the car with the shortest clamp -we just couldn’t get it to connect or tighten it if we did manage to get it on the frame.

I’m on my second Kuat and love it!

The smallest frame is closest to the car and I put it on its seat tube

Another 1UP User here. 2" HD Version. I've seen the Kuat and would say they look very comparable though.

If you can find one the hold up 2 is the best. I use mine constantly . Don't believe the mature re views on you tube. They're stupid.

Hi did you manage as I also have a small Levo and I’m also struggling

 

[Mcharza]

You can try attaching to a seat tube. That’s how I at least attach my wife’s S-size Levo.

 

[kuyawil]

I have the T2 Classic and I think it would be another good option to look at. I have yet to get an e-bike of my own, but I’ve transported my friends’ Levos without any issues at all. Just more food for thought.
