Best Bike Rack for Womens Beach Cruiser With Fenders and Fat Tire Bike
Question:
I have a classic hybrid beach cruiser Sixthreezero Everyjourney Womens 21-speed w/front and rear fenders and my husband has a 7-speed Sikk fat tire bike. Which rack would work best to carry both our bikes? They each weigh around 45-50lbs. Hitch mount is our preference and either tilt and/or swing out is also preferred, if possible. Thanks so much!

You have some very cool bikes, but due to how they are configured, you will need a pretty specific bike rack, and based on your bikes I recommend one rack above all others:
- Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack # TH903202 with Fat Bike Straps # TH985101
The EasyFold XT is a frame-mounted rack, so it will work with your Sixthreezero bike with fenders, the fat tire straps will accommodate tires up to 4-11/16" wide, and it has a 65 lb per-bike capacity. Additionally, it also tilts like you wanted and is the best bike rack on the market because its features give you unmatched convenience.
It comes with an aluminum ramp so you can easily load and unload your bikes, allows for simple access to your vehicle's rear cargo area via a foot lever that you can press to tilt the rack down, and tightens in your hitch with the twist of a knob. I have added a couple photos showing the EasyFold XT in action so you have an idea how it will work for you.
I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well of the Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack # TH903202.
