Question:

Hi, do you have a recommendation on a rack for a heavier fat tire e-bike? We ordered 2 bikes that weigh 70 lbs each.

For a bike rack that has a per-bike weight capacity that can hold your two 70-pound electric fat tire bikes, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY84FR. The Sport Rider SE has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 80 pounds. It will also accommodate fat tire bikes up to a tire width of 5 inches. In addition, the frame hooks that secure your bike lock to deter theft.

If your electric bikes have a women's style-frame, a step-through frame, or an alternative frame style, I recommend purchasing the Rhino-Rack Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # RRRBCA021. The frame adapter bar will give your frame a straight horizontal frame to allow it to secure to the ratcheting hooks of the Sport Rider SE.

If you want a hitch receiver recommendation for the Sport Rider SE, I would be happy to assist you if you provide your hear/make/model of vehicle.
