Recommended Fat Tire E-Bike Rack and Hitch for 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI
Question:
Hi, Im looking for a hitch and bike rack combo that will allow me to transport two fat tire ebikes. I have the Juiced Ripcurrent and they weigh around 70lbs. My concern is if the weight of the rack and combined bikes will affect my vehicle structurally.

Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI is the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7375 because it has a completely hidden design and provides the larger 2" receiver tube option which will give the best selection. For a fat tire e-bike compatible rack, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack part # HLY74FR is the perfect option which when combined with the two bikes will put you just under the total weight capacity.
