Recommended Platform 2-Bike Rack For 1 Electric Fat Tire Bike And 1 Regular Bike

Question:

I am looking for a platform type rack 2 inch hitch that can hold 1 e bike with 4 inch tires and 1 normal 10 speed bike. Can you tell me which models to look at.

I highly recommend going with the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack # S94FR. This is a platform bike rack and fits 2" hitches. This bike rack is specifically made to carry 2 electric bikes, but will also work very well with regular non-electric bikes. It is a frame-mount so you don't have to worry about fenders or baskets interfering with anything. The wheel trays can hold tires up to 3" wide, but you can add fat bike kit # S64679 which can hold tires up to 5" wide. The weight capacity is 70lbs per bike, which is very impressive.

If you have a step-thru frame or any other oddly-shaped bike frames, you will want to use Swagman Bike Frame Adapter Bar # S57FR. This will help stabilize the bike and keep it secured safely to the bike carrier.
