Hitch Bike Rack for Electric Bikes
Question:
Hi. I just recently purchased a pair of Benelli Classica N8 Lithium 8-speed Electric Bicycles for my wife and I. I am looking for a rack to carry these bikes on my Honda Pilot with with a 2in hitch and occasionally on my Audi A3 Convertible with a 1.5 in hitch. Ive included a photo our bikes and notice the down tube with the battery . Definitely interested in your recommendations.

Expert Reply:
Your bikes weigh right at 61 lbs. That means you would have to use an E-bike rack designed for heavier bikes like the Hollywood Racks E-Bike Rack # HLY84FR.
This rack will only fit 2 inch hitches though. There are no bike racks with a high enough capacity for the hitch you have on the A3.
Due to the lack of a cross tube on your bike you will need to use the adapter bar part # UB01.
