Can Adapter Bar Be Used For 65-Lb Electric Bike
Question:
How heavy of a bike can this adapter work with? I have a 65 pound e bike. Worried my bike is too heavy?

You are correct. The weight of your e-bike would be too much for any of the adapter bars we offer. The maximum weight that an adapter bar can handle is about 35-lbs. If you are using the bar to use with a platform bike rack you can use it to provide a level attach point but it will not work with a hanging bike rack.
You will also want to make sure your bike rack can handle the weight of your bike.
If you find you need a new bike carrier I recommend a platform carrier. You can check out the attached link for the platform racks we offer that could work with your electric bike.
