Which Bike Rack Is Best For Carrying Electric Bike On Motorhome Hitch?
Question:
Hi - we purchased the Aero 2 bike rack to use on our Motorhome hitch. Could we use this rack to transport 1 electric bike that is 65 lbs? The actual bike is the radrunner 1. Thanks!

I have a solution for you, but the Lets Go Aero BikeWing-2 NextGen 2-Bike Rack you are referring to has a weight capacity of 40lbs per bike, which would not be sufficient for an electric bike weighing 65lbs. Instead, I would look into the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY74FR which has a weight capacity of 80lbs per bike and is compatible with motorhomes that have 1-1/4" or 2" trailer hitch receivers.
Keep in mind, since your radrunner 1 seems to be a step-thru bike you will want to use an adapter bar such as # RRRBCA021. I attached a couple demonstration videos for you to check out.
