E-bike Rack Recommendation for 60 lb Bikes in Class I Trailer Hitch
Question:
I have two heavy fat tire e bikes together weigh 120 lbs. I only have a 1-1/4 inch receiver . Will this bike rack be able to handle these tire sizes and weights without much wobble? Thank you

Expert Reply:
The Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F can fit 1-1/4 inch hitches as long as they are Class II (you may have a Class I hitch so you'd need to check), it has a 60 lb per bike capacity, and can fit tires up to 4-1/2 inches wide so there's a possibility it could work for you. If your tires are fatter than 4-1/2 inch you'd need the fat tire adapter # SA4419 as well.
But if your vehicle has a Class I hitch this would not be the bike rack to go with. If this is the case the best option is the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which is Class I hitch compatible. This rack is very stable as well.
