Best Hitch-Mounted Bike Rack For 2 Electric Cargo Bikes
Question:
Looking for a Hollywood Bike Rack model HR 1500Z-E-W1. It is for two electric bikes - one of which is a cargo bike. Have one? If so, how much? Thanks.

It sounds like you are referring to the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY84FR. This is specifically made to transport 2 electric bikes weighing up to 80lbs each and can handle bikes with up to 5" wide tires. This carrier secures the bikes by using a padded hook that ratchets down on the bike frame.
For a more budget-friendly option you can go with Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S94FR. This has a weight capacity of 60lbs per bike and fits tires up to 3" wide. Just like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE, this bike rack also uses a padded hook to ratchet down onto the bike's frame. Both of these bike racks will work well with cargo bikes that have baskets or fenders.
For either bike rack, you may end up needing to use Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 if you plan to transport women's, children's, or full-suspension bikes. This adapter will be sure to tightly secure any bike to the carrier despite an oddly-shaped frame design. Both of these bike racks require a 2" hitch receiver; if you do not have one then feel free to provide your vehicle's year, make, and model then I can recommend the correct hitch receiver for you. I have attached demonstration videos for these products.
