KÜAT INTRODUCES THE PISTON ION E-BIKE RACK

April 8, 2025

Küat Racks, known for its industry-leading innovation and premium design, is thrilled to introduce the Piston® ION™, a feature-packed e-bike rack set to launch later this year. Built tough and adventure-ready, the Piston ION is engineered to handle the heaviest e-bikes, offering a 100 lb per tray capacity and zero frame contact for the ultimate secure transport. Set to unveil at Sea Otter Classic on April 10-13.

Designed for e-bike enthusiasts, the Piston ION™ is perfect for those who love to explore on two wheels. Loading your bike is effortless with the included aluminum ramp, and the FastFit™ tool-free wheel chock system quickly and intuitively adjusts to different tire sizes. Plus, for those adventuring beyond the pavement, the Piston ION™ is RV-compatible (2″ hitch & chassis-mounted) and off-road approved*, making it the ideal choice for those who push the limits. *Weight capacity varies depending on use.

“With the explosive growth of e-bikes, we knew riders needed a rack that could handle heavy loads without sacrificing ease of use,” said Luke Kuschmeader, Küat Racks President and CEO. “The Piston ION brings premium features, rock-solid stability, and an innovative design to e-bike hitch racks, all backed by our incredible warranty. Whether you’re commuting, traveling on vacation, or taking an overland adventure, this rack is built to go wherever you do.”

Additional key features include:

  • PedalPivot™ – Effortlessly fold the rack up or down with a simple foot pedal.

  • Hand-tight hitch cam system – A rock-solid, wobble-free fit.

  • TIGER Drylac® powder coat – 10-year no-fade and built to withstand the elements.

  • Integrated security – Stainless steel barrel hitch lock and semi-integrated 12mm cable lock for added peace of mind.

  • Optional accessory light kits – A light kit and illuminated license plate mount will be available for enhanced visibility and compliance.

With a fender-compatible design, support for wheel sizes from 18″ to 29″, and the ability to handle tires up to 4.8″ wide, the Piston ION™ is ready for any ride, any road, any adventure—all backed by our No Worries Limited Warranty. The anticipated MSRP for the Piston ION™ is $1,289, but it remains undetermined due to ongoing market uncertainty and fluctuations.
