Needing a Bike Rack to Fit a 2015 Mercedes GLK 350 and a Electra Loft Go Electric Bike
Question:
Wife needs a bike rack for her 2015 Mercedes GLK 350 and New - Electra Loft Go Electric Bike. It is a girls bike and most frame accessories only support a 45 lb bike.

Expert Reply:
For electric model bikes, a hitch mounted platform bike is the best option when handling the these much heavier bikes.
If you have a hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening installed on your 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK 350, then I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2-Bike Platform Rack for Electric Bikes, # HLY84FR. The Hollywood Racks bike rack is designed to handle the heavier weight that is typical for E-bikes. This rack has a 80 lbs per bike weight capacity.
If you need a trailer hitch for your GLK 350, the I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Receiver Hitch, # 75774. The Draw-Tite hitch is designed to be custom-fit for the 2015 GLK 350 and is capable of handling the weight of both bike and bike rack.
