Recommended Bike Rack to Carry an Electra Townie on a 2015 BMW X1 with a 2 Inch Hitch Receiver

asked by: Sue
Expert Reply:
Due to the alternative frame of your Electra Townie you probably want to stay away from a traditional hanging rack.
My top choice for you is the RockyMounts BackStage # RKY10002. This is a platform rack that holds the bikes by the wheels. The best part about it is that it can swing out away from the back of the vehicle giving you full access to the rear cargo area of your 2015 BMW X1. The BackStage also includes locks for both the rack and the bikes and can carry two bikes up to 60 pounds each.

We are looking for a ebike rack to carry 2 Rad Mini bikes about 60 lbs each. We need to be able to secure these bikes when we are away from our Winnebago Revel. We will have a spare tire on the backdoor. Which rack would you reccommend?
