Recommended Bike Rack for Heavy E-Bikes for Use on Vehicles with 2" Receiver

Question:

I have a 2 hitch on both my vehicles. A 2017 Subaru Outback and a 2017 Chevy 1/2 ton pick up with a camping shell on the bed. We have two 70 pound E bicycles and need a rack to haul them. What do you suggest we buy? Thank you.

I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR, which is designed for heavy e-bikes and can carry bikes up to 80-lbs each. This rack is designed to fit in 2" hitches like you've got on both your vehicles so it's a great solution for you. This rack also comes with locks for the bikes and a locking hitch pin, so your investments are always going to be secured.

If either of your bikes have aggressive step through frames, you may need a bike frame adapter bar like the # 64005 to help the clamping hook secure the bikes. This is a fairly common need for women's and children's bikes when using hanging or platform bike racks.

I've linked a short review video of this rack for you to check out.
