Bike Rack for 50 lb E-Bikes at Rear of Travel Trailer

Question:

I am looking for recommendations. I need to transport toe bikes weighing 50 lbs each on a trailer hitch with 2 ball. Both bikes have fenders. I would rather not overspend though I know Yakima is quality. Thoughts? Thanks

For a bike rack that can handle the weight of your two 50 lb bikes at the rear of a travel trailer and uses frame clamps instead of wheel mounts to accommodate your fenders the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR would be your best option. I know you didn't want to overspend but not even the Yakima E-Bike rack that is RV rated can be used with bikes that weigh as much as yours. In order for a bike rack to be rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of trailer it needs to be reinforced to a great degree which then when you add in the much higher weights of e-bikes you limit the rack availability even more.
