2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe Swing Away Bike Rack Recommendation for Aventon e-Bikes

Question:

Hi, I am looking for a two bike rack for an electric bikes for a 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe. I was looking at the Rockymounts Backstage with hitch extender but it looks like the weight capacity per bike is 60 lbs. it looks like my two Aventon bikes are about 70 lbs each. Any racks you can recommend for my issue? Perhaps something with a ramp to get them up since they are so heavy that doesnt break the bank? I appreciate any help you can lend.

The best bike rack for your situation is the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY64FR when combined with the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks # PVP20B.

The rack has a weight capacity of 80 lbs per bike and secures the bike frame by using clamps so it's compatible even if your bikes have fenders. The only down side is that this rack doesn't have a ramp (none of the racks rated for 70+ lb bikes do) and the swing away adapter will reduce the weight capacity of your hitch by 50% so that's something else to keep in mind.
