What Bike Rack do You Recommend for 2 Electra Path 9D Step-Through Bikes?

Question:

can you please advise on the best bike rack for the Electra Path 9D. I was hoping to carry 2 bikes, simple to use and be for a 1.5/2inch hitch

For a bike rack that fits your 2-inch trailer hitch on your 2021 Acura RDX that fits your 2 Electra Path 9D bikes, I recommend the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # S63360. The Trailhead has a 35 pound per-bike weight capacity and will allow you to tilt the rack (with bikes unloaded) to gain better access to your vehicle's rear hatch. Since this rack does not come with any locks you may want to also add the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 1-1/4" & Combo Shanks - 7' # S64031, which will allow you to lock the bikes and the rack to the vehicle. Since your bike is a step-through model, I recommend the Swagman Adapter Bar # S57FR. The adapter bar will give your bikes a straight, horizontal plant to attach to the cradles of the Trailhead 2.

If you need a hitch receiver recommendation for your vehicle, feel free to respond with your year/make/model of vehicle and I will be happy to assist you.
