Excellent quality! Strong enough for an eBike.

Outstanding quality! Perfect fit for my eBike. The height is perfect so I can easily pick up and take off my bike. The stand is stable and the support bar folds down when not in use.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Thin

Not safe for e-bikes Good for bike racks

I recently bought an e-bike. All e-bikes are heavy. Most of them weigh over 50 pounds. I bought this shelf hoping it would fit. The Revain list does not state a weight limit. When assembling the rack I noticed that it had a 40 lb weight limit. It turns out it's no longer for sale. WELL. Revain needs to improve disclosure of critical information.

Pros
  • Top
Cons
  • Excessive price

The booth is live and I love it

The booth is live and I love it. However, as I said, the hook of the lock that secures the front wheel is a bit loose because it has a little play. Also, one of the swing arm plugs (where the front wheel sits is a cosmetic feature) popped out after about 5 uses. Overall I still really like this rack, it looks good and does the job. The bottle opener is also a nice touch.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Speed

Great rack at a great price

I really like the ease of use of this rack but the front clamp is a little loose if not the right 1 inch from the fork area. I like the extra lock and the very easy installation. The plastic pieces in the pivot area that hold the seams on the rear tires are a bit jerky, but I haven't had any issues so far. Very little movement in the pose at all. I was going to buy the above but the wait time was ridiculous so I hope it lasts a long time. Yakima, who has been around for a long time, gave meโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Ok

Assembly pains and possible manufacturing defects

This item is difficult to assemble and I had a manufacturing defect that required sending a brand new part. Assembling is not difficult but requires holding the three parts with two hands. You will drop the bolts on the floor several times and the "plate" down the pipe. I had one of the 4 holes on the "plate" drilled incorrectly, so a brand new part had to be sent in. If they had done this assembly at the factory instead of expecting the customer to do this, this would not have happened. Inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • There are nuances

Pretty good stand: UPGRADE AGAIN from 3 stars to 2 to 1

A bit wobbly, but it's ok for my purposes. Very difficult to get out of the tube. I think I'll have to stop using it and just grab some elastic cords to secure the bike. UPDATE: Well I've been using this rack for about 6 months now. When first shipped it came with a broken part (the spring that goes in the tongue that goes in the clutch). The company quickly provided a new needle and it was enough to assemble this rack. But now the screws are broken. popped out of the nut plate on one side ofโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy workmanship
Cons
  • Was damaged
