Comparing e-Bike Racks Compatible with Lectric XP 2.0 Step-Thru Bikes
Question:
Have two Lectric xp 2.0 step through bikes. each are 64 lbs with battery. Need carrier with a ramp that is user friendly as we are 65 yrs old. Prefer if possible not having to use a adapter bar between seat and handlebars. Take a look at the xp step through frame at their home page Thank you

I have a few different e-bike racks for you to check out and the differences really just boil down to the weight of the rack and the features it comes with.
The first recommendation I have is the Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack # HLY66ZR which is the most cost-effective of the 3 but it weighs in at 46 lbs and it doesn't have any wheels on the rack itself so you'll have to hoist it into your hitch receiver on your own. We do have a customer that submitted a review photo (see attached) that has Lectric XP 2.0 bikes on it without an adapter which is why I know this will work as well as the other 2 options.
The next step up is the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202. This is essentially the same rack but it's a little smaller when folded up, it comes with wheels on the bike rack body so you'll roll it around like a suitcase, and then the tilting adjustment is a foot pedal on the front so it's easier to use.
The last rack that will work is the Saris Door County # SAR42RR which is a top of the line product with ALL of the bells and whistles. And when I say all I mean all. This has the wheels and front foot pedal that the EasyFold XT does but it also has a 7-Way plug that connects to your vehicle and operates an elevator-type system so you just roll your bikes right on the rack, secure them, and then lift it back into place.
Attached are review videos of each rack for you to check out. I personally like the Destination because it's simple and more cost-effective but I do see the value in the other racks and what they offer as well.
