Can I Transport 2 E-Bikes on a 4-Bike Hitch Rack?

Question:

Can I put 2E bikes on a 4 bike hitch rack and how much will the rack hold. The E bikes are Rad bikes. I think.

Yes, you will be able to put two Rad electric bikes on a 4-bike rack as long as the bikes fall under the maximum weight capacity of that particular rack and the hitch receiver. For a great 4-bike bike rack that can hold 2 heavier bikes, I recommend the Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # SA4026F. The SuperClamp EX 4 has a 60 pound per-bike weight capacity in the first 2 positions and a 35 pound per-bike capacity in the last 2 positions.

If you need to decrease your weight of your electric bike, we strongly recommend removing the battery during transport. Not only does this decrease your bike's weight, but it also decreases the chances of damage to the battery during transport.

If you need a recommendation for a hitch receiver that will accommodate the Thule T2 Classic 4, feel free to respond to this answer with the year/make/model of your vehicle.
