It sounds like you're looking for a trunk mount bike rack, but these types of racks aren't designed to carry the weight of an e-bike, so that isn't an option for your application.

Instead, I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1 Bike # KU64FR which is confirmed to fit with your 1999 Honda Accord as long as you have a trailer hitch installed. This rack can carry a single bike with a maximum weight of 60 lbs and the rack itself only weighs 26 lbs, so it's super easy to take on and off the hitch.

If you do not have a hitch for your vehicle, I recommend Curt Class I hitch # C11290. This hitch is confirmed to fit your 1999 Honda Accord and we have test fitted the hitch on your vehicle. This hitch is made from fully welded steel to ensure strength and durability.

I have attached the Curt Hitch installation instructions for you along with a review video of the Kuat Bike Rack.

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack…

Answer 5

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

Either the Kuat Tranfer 1 #KU64FR or the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo 1 #RKY10007 would handle the bikes you describe easily. Both would hold the bikes by the tires, so the fact that the rack won't come into contact with the frame will work well…
