Recommended Bike Rack for e-bike Mountain Bikes
Question:
I have a few year old Thule Bike rack which works well but it is very heavy. What bike rack would you suggest to get something maybe lighter, more compact! Mostly carrying 2 Mountain ebikes. One is all carbon fiber so weighs 43 Pounds. the other weighs 50 lbs.

One of the most flexible e-bike racks we offer from the standpoint of bike compatibility is the US made Saris SuperClamp EX, part # SA4025F. The rack can carry 2 bikes weighing up to 60 lbs each with tires up to 4-1/2 inches wide. The rack holds the bikes from the underside of the front and rear wheel while the ratcheting hook holds the bikes upright. The rack is compatible with bikes with or without fenders, which is a rarity for a wheel mount bike rack. The rack weighs only 35 lbs, which for an e-bike rack is super-light.
