Platform Bike Rack for E-Bike Recommendation
Question:
Ive purchased all my hitches and bike racks from etrailer.com and have always been pleased with my purchase. Im looking at buying my first e-bike and the first thing Ive noticed with many of them is that their frame design isnt conducive to a hanging rack like the Thule I currently own. The platform rack seems a better fit but Im concerned about the weight limitation of the rack. The bikes Ive been looking up range from 45-55#. Any recommendations? I dont foresee carrying more than one e-bike and I have a 2inch receiver.

For E-bikes we have bike racks that are specifically designed for them like the Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 which would work great. It has the higher weight capacity like what you'd need plus a built in ramp to make loading the heavier bikes a bit easier.
I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
