1up USA Bike Rack

[Poncherelly]

Has anyone ordered the 1UP to Canada? Just wondering if FedEX bends you over as much as UPS when bringing shipments over the border.

I asked them if they could ship USPS but they said they don't.

For those who have the super duty or quik rack and hitch extender, how far does the rack now sit from the bumper? My guess is around 5".

Would be nice to come up with a solution that's more than a few mm but less than 5". Seems like 1.25" quick rack plus hitch reducer may help enable that by letting the rack sit in deeper.

The two things to consider about the 1 Up racks: Don't work well with bikes that have fenders, and no real substantial security features to keep the bikes on the rack.

Cant attest to the 1up, but I have the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 on my Y and I love it

I just picked up my MYP and have a Kuat Sherpa on order--sounds like you are happy with the fit/operation. Any issue getting it mounted in the hitch, locking pin in etc? Just curious--thanks a bunch!

I'm also interested in ordering the 1UP to Toronto, Canada. I was wondering your experience with shipping and customs duties paid? Thanks!

I'll post back when I get mine. Ordered it about a week ago delivered to the Montreal area.

I ordered the heavy double on 3/12 and hasn’t shipped yet. I know they have a backlog but just curious if folks here are seeing similar wait times?

Website says 4-5 weeks to ship. I checked a few days ago and they confirmed that’s accurate.

I have the Heavy Duty Double and have only used a couple times. Wife doesn't really ride her bike at all anymore.. so now planning to sell it (PM me if interested).. and get the Equip-D Single.

I think I got lucky. It got here fast (a week) and no extra fees at the door. For the platform rack it was a great experience. I also ordered two roof racks after I got the platform rack and those seem to be taking forever (ordered on March 12th and still no tracking number).

I ended up going with the Kuat Transfer V2 2-bike platform bike. Used it yesterday and it worked well. Bikes are very stable as is the rack. Very easy to install and remove. Weighs about 37 pounds. My son actually got the single-bike version of this. I also modified the hitch cover ala Living Tesla while I had it off.

Very nice rack, but not compatible with bikes that have fenders. The tire-hook securing method is common in most racks, which preclude fenders. The frame securing method like the Hollywood Sportrider SE works for any bike (step through bikes need the optional bar to secure).

I point this out because many people don't realize their fendered bikes won't work with most platform racks.

Just received an Equip-D. Love this platform rack.

I recommend buying 1up's hitch bar stop. I ordered it immediately after the first installation of the Equip-D.

Have rack will travel... but the locking pin doesn’t fit to be able to remove and insert key. What has anyone else used with a preinstalled trailer hitch from Tesla?

 

[Blaiwesk]

Have hitch! Will travel! But the locking pin won’t fit around the electrical trailer - fits but can’t insert or remove key, so wondering if anyone has a suggestion as to what kind of locking pin they used for the pre installed Tesla’s hitch?

That depends on what type of pin your rack uses. I am using a Rocky Mounts rack with a threaded anti-rattle pin, so I have to use their pin. There is no way to get the pin in from the left nor to get the key out of the lock with the pin coming in from the right.

Their bolt looks like this: Hitch Bolt- MonoRail/BackStage/SplitRail/WestSlope

I bought this Curt pin and lock - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VTJMBZZ - and while the end of the Curt pin is slightly larger than the end of the Rocky Mounts pin, it is close enough that the lock works, and since it is a right angle lock there is no interference between the brake light connector and the key.

So depending on the pin size and type there may be something out there that will work. If you have a non-threaded pin there are probably a lot more options. I was lucky the one I found was a close enough match to work.

No issue getting bolt and cotter pin installed with OEM hitch with the Kurt rack I have.

Thanks @Alan_F, that looks perfect but for me using 1UpUSA brand bike rack the size of pin needs to be about 3/8 diameter.

Yes I actually have that style pin from my predecessor car/rack system but the pin diameter is too big. I guess I could consider the cotter pin idea, however I thought the security of the lock would be advantageous.

First MTB trip with my rak attach and 1 up rack. This system make accessing items much easier. Next addition is a rear hatch awning.
