How Can I Carry Two 70 Lbs Ebikes On My 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid

Question:

I am looking for a 2 e-bike mount for a 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid they cannot have a hitch mounted on them due to battery placement issues. So I believe it would need to mount like a trunk mount. The e-bikes each weigh about 70lbs.

I will be more than happy to find you a safe way to carry your ebikes. Unfortunately, it will not be with a trunk bike rack.We do not offer a trunk bike rack that can carry bikes that weigh more than 40 lbs. On the bright side, your 2022 Honda CR-V has a maximum tongue weight of 250 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight of 1,500 lbs, so a hitch bike rack and a trailer will be an option. You suggested he battery on your vehicle will keep you from carrying your bikes on a hitch bike rack. That should not be a problem. I can find you a hitch receiver and a hitch bike rack to carry two bikes.

The hitch receiver that I recommend is etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2", part # e98848. Once the hitch receiver is in place you can install the hitch bike rack. My recommendation is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # HLY84FR. This hitch bike rack can carry bikes up to 80 lbs in weight.

I have included a product description link, a video installation link, and a video review link below.
