Review on Overdrive 2 Bike Ratchet Platform Hitch Mounted by Alex Jain

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Manufacturer Defective

The "ARM" on the stand that rises and then the hooks hold the bike on the platform has a manufacturer. Malfunction. The mounting screw that secures the lever to the main structure has a threaded hole with the threads removed, the threads are flat and there is no engagement with the threads. The photos above are from a rack that is two weeks old. I believe this is a problem coming from the actual rack manufacturer. The problem is that the spring loaded ball will loosen, the arm will fall off and the bike will fall out of the rack. Also, in my opinion the part where the sprung ball sits is too big and the part that holds that sprung ball should be wider so the lever "swings" less and the sprung ball "STAYS". . committed. This weapon should be recalled and renewed. It is not enough to send a nylon strap to prevent bikes from falling out of the rack, like my e-bike.

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Unfashionable
