Recommended Hitch Rack for Electric Fat Bikes
Question:
One of the bikes I have is a Green Bike USA GB500 Fat tire. Not sure if the other bike will be fat electric or regular tire.

Expert Reply:
Most e-bikes do typically weigh a good bit more than the standard bike weight of 30-35-lbs and most bike racks are limited to this 35-lb weight for each bike.
Since the Green Bike USA GB500 weighs 57-lbs you will definitely need a higher-capacity rack like the Thule EasyFold XT 2 Electric Bike Platform Rack # TH903202. This rack directly accepts tires up to 3-inches wide and it can be fitted with Fat Bike tire adapter # TH985101 which lets it hold tires up to 4-11/16-inches wide.
Thule engineered the EasyFold to be a class-leading product. Its mix of features make it among the most flexible carriers available. It fits both 1-1/4-inch and 2-inch hitches, tilts, folds and even includes a loading ramp for your heavy bikes. Check out the video to see all it can do.
