Sorry, one more question. My e-bike has fat tires. Is the tire channel wide enough?
I just measured mine. The rails are 3in. wide and 2in. deep. They do however have a inside "V" shape. I'm not sure, but it certerently would seem any tire over 3in. would not work & due to the inside "V" shape even a 3in. tire would not completely fit into the inside of the rail. I have 30mm tires on my E bike & they fit fine.

My photo above is 29x2.5” - it looks like any tire should fit, even a 4+” as the straps are super long. The tire being wider than the channel doesn’t appear to be an issue at all.

Very poor, you can see a couple feet back underneath the rack
Bit of a missed opportunity in it's design - I realize would add cost etc. but this thing is already mad expensive - adding a simple backup camera (cheap these days) to activate and override the car's std. backup would have been a really nice feature. That and the 'bugly' light assembly design on the carrier are somewhat annoying elements to me - maybe also the weight :)! Still on order though.

I seem to have managed to break this cable. It is shown in the instructions, but no info. on what it is for. I will have dealer look at it, but I'm sure they will have no idea of what it does, or how to repair it. Any ideas from anyone & if it is safe to use - I plan to continue to use it.

Does anyone know the maximum bicycle wheelbase supported by this vaporware $2k rack? I have a cargo bike with a ~1400mm / 55" base. Wondering if it can handle that. Otherwise I plan to get a 2" hitch adaptor fabricated. The damn thing has been on order for four months...
