Kuat NV Base 2.0 weight limit.
I recently put money down for an Electric Bike Company Model S. After adding a basket (permanent), the total weight will be somewhere around 63 pounds, without the battery (which is easily removed).I have a 6 months old Kuat NV Base 2.0 (for 2 bikes) bike rack, which has a weight limit of 60 pounds per bike. If I do not place a second bike on the rack, am I asking for trouble by using the rack, or should I look for another rack?

Rack looks pretty sturdy and normally specs are conservative. Appears satisfactory as long as the bike company didn't weigh the bike without wheels or whatever.

I'd ask Kuat as they know the rack's capability better than any of us.
