Best Bike Rack For 72 lb Fat Tire Electric Bike
Question:
I just purchased the Aventon Aventure with 26” tires 4” wide. The bike weighs 72 lbs. I want to tow it on the back of a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. What is the best rack for it. I am looking at the Hollywood rack.

Helpful Expert Reply:
For an electric bike that weighs over 70 lbs, there is really only one option that has the needed capacity to handle it, which is a Hollywood Racks bike rack like you mentioned:
Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack # HLY84FR
The SE2 # HLY84FR has an 80 lb per-bike weight capacity, and is compatible with tires up to 5 inches wide, so it'll fit your bike's 4 inch tires. Having said that, aside from being compatible, the SE2 is also just a really good bike rack, and has a number of quality-of-life features, including an easy-to-use anti-rattle handle. This means you can install the rack in your hitch with the turn of the handle, compared to other racks that require you to get on the ground and use a wrench to tighten a bolt.
The rack also secures the investments you made in your e-bikes as well as the rack with its integrated hitch lock, frame lock, and cable lock, which lock the bike rack to your vehicle and bikes to your rack.
I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack # HLY84FR.
