- Does the Sherpa 2.0 fit a 2-inch hitch?
- Yes, it comes in 1.25-inch and 2-inch versions. The 2-inch version carries up to 40 lb per tray; check the hitch class and tongue-weight rating of your vehicle before fitting.
- Can it carry e-bikes?
- Generally no. Most e-bikes exceed the 40 lb per-tray limit, so this rack suits road, gravel, mountain and kids' bikes rather than electric models.
- Does it lock the bikes to the rack?
- Yes. It has a semi-integrated bike lock and a matching keyed hitch lock. The cable-style lock deters casual theft but is not a substitute for a heavy chain.
- Can I open my trunk with the rack on?
- Yes, the rack tilts down with a pivot lever so you can reach a hatch or tailgate. It does not swing away to the side, so very tight parking can still be awkward.
- How does it compare with the Kuat NV 2.0?
- The NV 2.0 is heavier, carries more per tray and offers a sturdier build and better locks. The Sherpa 2.0 is lighter, simpler and easier to fold, which suits lighter bikes and occasional use.
- Does it fit fat-tire bikes?
- Not well out of the box. The trays suit standard mountain and road tires; very wide or fat tires may need aftermarket trays or straps.
