Easy to Load Swing Away Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for Heavier Bike
Question:
I wish to mount an easy to load tray style bike rack for my electric women’s townie bike that weighs 50 lbs. I have a pick up truck F150. Do you have a swing away style or one that lowers so I can open the tailgate when the bike is loaded.

We have one solution that matches all of the criteria you need. The Kuat NV part # NV22G has the capacity for your heavier bike and is a platform rack that is super easy to load unload. Now to allow it to swing away you'd need to also use the hinge kit part # PVP20B which will allow the rack to swing out loaded. This is the only option we have that covers all your bases and it would work really well!
