Will the Sport Rider SE Accomodate 2 Fat Electric Bikes on a Travel Trailer?

Question:

Have two Lectric folding bikes. Want to put these on behind a pick up camper on a 2500 HD Sierra The extension hitch on the truck is rated for 30K so that will not be an issue. Questions is this: Is the Hollywood Se rack the best choice of those available for this application. The Lectric bike are folding fat tire models. Is the Hollywood Se in stock for shipping currently? Current price? Thanks Aaron

Unfortunately, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY84FR is not constructed to handle the torque on a travel trailer. It is only built to withstand the torque on cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorhomes.

For a great alternative, I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S94FR. The Swagman E-Spec can handle the added torque on a pickup camper. The E-Spec also has a 70-pound per bike maximum weight capacity. Also, like the Sport Rider SE, the E-Spec can accommodate fat bike tires up to 5 inches with the fat bike cradles # S64679.
