Can Swagman XC-Extended Bike Rack Carry Single 50 lb Ebike
Question:
Can the swagman xc-extended carry just one ebike at 49 pounds? I purchased this rack from etrailer for my recumbent bike and now own an ebike. I would like to use the rack to carry the ebike by itself no other bike loaded with it. Is the total on this rack weight capacity 70 lbs? Hope this makes sense. Thank you

Thank you for the order, and the weight capacity is 35 lbs per-bike so you cannot carry a 50 lb electric bike on the Swagman XC-Extended Bike Rack for 2 Recumbent Bikes # S64650-EXT. There is not a total weight capacity, it is a capacity for each bike).
So for a 50 lb electric bike you'd need a different bike rack with a higher capacity, such as the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike # RKY10007.
