Which Bike Rack Will Work For Electric Bikes And Regular Non-Electric Bikes?
Question:
Hello, I am looking to purchase the Hollywood bike rack for e bikes. Question - will this work fine for non-ebikes? Or is the tire well too wide and too much wiggle? Also, if we purchase the 2 bike, does this product have an extender if we wanted to accomodate 2 more?

The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY74FR will work very well for electric bikes and non-electric regular bikes. The tire trays are heavy duty and wider to accommodate the electric bikes, but will still allow regular bikes to be mounted without any issues or concerns. This has an impressive weight capacity of 80lbs per bike.
There is not a way to convert this bike rack to a 4-bike carrier, however, you could go with Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # Y02443-2. This has a weight capacity of 50lbs per bike. Keep in mind that this Yakima carrier is not recommended for bikes with fenders, which some e-bikes have. The Hollywood # HLY74FR will work well for bikes with fenders.
