Best Lightweight Hitch Bike Carrier for Use with Heavy Electric Bikes

Question:

Hi. I am riding an electric bike which weighs about 23Kg approx 48 lb. I am looking for a bike rack which can carry the weight of 2 of these bikes. We have two cars with different hitch sizes...any solution for that too? We'd prefer one that is not too heavy.

There is one particular hitch-type platform bike rack that I suggest over all others for your electric bikes, the Thule EasyFold XT 2 Electric Bike Platform Rack # TH903202. This rack weighs only 45-lbs, less than many electric bike carriers.

This rack fits both 1-1/4 and 2-inch hitch sizes, offers a high 65-lb weight capacity, compatibility with all bike frame types and it includes unusual convenience features like a built-in loading ramp for the bikes and built-in wheels to make handling it a breeze. It folds to compact size, tilts for easier vehicle access and it includes locks.

You can see more on this exceptional bike carrier in the video I linked for you.
