Recommended E-Bike Carrier for 70-lbs Bikes to Use on SUV and Travel Trailer
Question:
I bought 2 himiway e-bikes 70# each. We have not received them yet. One is a step through the other regular. Both with fenders. I need to use it on a travel trailer and suv. Please give any suggestions because we want to camp and ride. Thanks!

The best solution to carry your Himiway E-bikes on the back of a travel trailer or SUV is the Swagman E-Spec Electric Bike Rack - 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Black # S94FR, which mounts to the frames of the bikes so it won't interfere with the fenders on your e-bikes. This rack does have a capacity of 70-lbs per bike, which is the highest capacity available for a rack that can be used on the back of a travel trailer, so you may need to remove the batteries if possible, but it's a durable rack that can be used on any 2" receiver.
Additionally, because the E-Spec mounts the bikes by the frames you're going to need a frame adapter bar like the # 64005 for the step through frame bike. This setup will allow you to take your bikes with you when you're camping, or just want to get out on the trails at home.
I've linked a review video of this rack for you to check out.
