Bike Rack Recommendation for Rad Power E-Bikes

Question:

I am looking for a bike rack for 2 of them .. they weight about 70lbs each.. I do have a swagman hanging bike rack .. but I am thinking these are too heavy. I also have a Curt 18110 Hitch Basket .. small hitch I think it will hold them ???? But is there a bike accessory for that basket.

Since E-bikes like yours are heavier that traditional bikes you do have to go with a rack that is reinforced that amount of weight like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider E-Bike Rack # HLY84FR that you referenced which has an 80 lb per bike capacity. There is also not an adapter type solution for fitting the bike into a cargo carrier.

If you have one of the Rad power bikes that has a really low cross tube we also have the Hollywood Racks RV rider part # HLY64FR which has a clamp design that works better for that style of frame.

I attached review video links for both racks mentioned as well on this page.
