Question:
E bike. Does Yakima make a full swing for two bikes? Also can you use it for Bike . If not what brand do you recommend? Thank you

Expert Reply:
We do have a way for you to carry two e-bikes, use a Yakima bike rack and have a swing-away feature, though the FullSwing is only available in a 2-bike version, and a hanging rack does not have the needed capacity for heavy e-bikes so a platform rack will be needed.
What you can use instead is a swing-away hitch extender and a Yakima bike rack and you'll have exactly what you need; to do this you can use the following:
- Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # Y02483
- Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # Y36FR
The BackSwing and OnRamp are compatible with one another, and the OnRamp will give you a rack with a 66 lb per-bike capacity that even has a ramp to make loading and unloading your bikes simple. The BackSwing comes with a hitch lock to help protect your investments, though if you want to lock the OnRamp to the BackSwing you will need the Yakima HitchLock # Y07235.
I have added links below to a couple of video reviews for you to check out as well.
