Bike Rack with Capacity for 62 lb Bike
Question:
I am interested in purchasing this rack: One of the bikes I am carrying is 62lbs., but the total weight with all bikes comes out to less than 150lbs. The specs say 35lbs per bike. Will this work for my configuration that totals out at 150lbs?

Expert Reply:
I am not sure what rack you are referring to but if the capacity for it is 35 lbs per bike you can't exceed that even if the total bike weight is less than the overall capacity. The reason for this is that the cradles for the bike rack are only rated for 35 lbs. So since you have a bike that weighs more like an e-bike at 62 lbs you'd want a rack with a higher capacity like the Hollywood Rack RV Rider part # HLY64FR. This rack has an 80 lb per bike capacity.
