Q: What are some customer reviews of this bike rack?
A:
- "Very good, a little complicated to mount but rather solid. I drove at 110 km/h with an electric mountain bike, and it didn't move."
- "Very good material, very good quality. I put an electric bike and a regular mountain bike on it. Really great, highly recommended."
- "Good value for money. Used it on a 2012 Seat Leon, it securely attaches once you find the right hook placements. Tested it on an 80 km journey with two bikes, no issues."
- "Bought this item without any problems. Easy to set up and very good quality."
- "Good, but... The product seems to be well-made, but the metal hooks have no protection on the straps' contact points, which can damage the car's paintwork. A rubber or thermoformed silicone protection would have been a good idea. Unfortunately, I will have to make modifications myself."
