What Bike Rack Should People Buy if They Have Heavy Electric Bikes?
Question:
Dont want to mess around trying to lift a heavy rackinch but that is the least of a customers worries. The rack is 60 lbs and you only have to lift it a foot. The customers bicycles are just as heavy and they have to be lifted quite a bit higher and twice - this is really the determining limitation.

I understand the process of lifting a heavy e-bike onto the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR does require a hefty amount of strength. However, for a bike rack that completely eliminates the need to lift your heavy e-bike onto the rack, I recommend the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # Y36FR. Since the OnRamp has an integrated ramp, you simply roll your heavy bikes onto the platform. The OnRamp can also accommodate bikes up to 66 pounds per-bike (40 pounds per-bike if mounted on an RV/motorhome).
If you need a trailer hitch recommendation, I would be happy to provide you one if you tell me the year/make/model of your vehicle.
