4 Bike Rack That Can Transport 66lb Rad Ebike

Question:

Will this hold a 66 pound Rad ebike?. I recently purchased a trailer hitch from you folks ... installed easily. Thanks,

I do have a bike rack to carry your 66lb Rad ebike, however, the Reese Explore 4 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches 63124 will not work. This is because the weight limit of the Reese bike rack is only 30lbs per bike.

I highly recommend the Inno Tire Hold 4 Bike Platform Rack # INH142. This is a 4 bike carrier with a maximum weight capacity of 160lbs. It will safely carry up to 60lb per bike for the two front trays, and 20lbs per bike for the two rear trays. This is the only 4 bike carrier with a weight capacity of up to 60lbs.

While your ebike does weigh 66lbs, you can remove the battery (weighs approximately 7.7lbs) and this should drop the overall weight down to under 60lbs. Also, ebike manufacturers usually recommend that you remove the battery when transporting for safety purposes anyways.

This bike rack also features a tilting mechanism which will come in handy if you need to get something out of the back of your vehicle. Overall this is an excellent bike rack that will suite your bike transporting needs.

I have attached a demonstration video for this bike rack.
