Inexpensive, Lightweight Bike Rack Recommendation
Question:
Need help. I want to transport a bike using a Porsche Cayenne SUV 2019. I will be getting rid of this vehicle in a few months, so I dont want to spend a lot of money on the rack. However, Im also an older lady so the rack has to be easy to get on and off the car. While I would prefer a trunk mount, I dont think the spoiler of the SUV could handle it. Do you have a suggestion for a rack that would be 1. easy to get on and off, and not so heavy? 2. not too expensive? 3. May be traded up for a rack that would transport both an e-bike and a regular bike. Thank you.

We have a really nice option for you, though you are correct that a trunk-mounted bike rack will not fit or work on your 2019 Porsche Cayenne. I do assume you already have a trailer hitch receiver on your Cayenne for a bike rack, and the lightweight, budget-friendly option I highly recommend is from Hollywood Racks:
- Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HLY94FR
The Destination # HLY94FR weighs only 20 lbs, making it one of the lightest bike racks in the industry. It is easy to install in either a 1-1/4" or 2" hitch by inserting its locking hitch pin through the shank and using a small tool (provided with the rack) to tighten it with a few twists.
The rack has a 35 lb per-bike weight limit so it is for standard bikes, but can definitely be traded up in the future for a rack that can carry an e-bike. Apart from that though, it meets all of your criteria, and I do want to note, that just because it is an inexpensive rack doesn't mean it lacks quality. Hollywood Racks, the manufacturer, specializes in well-made, durable bike racks, so what the Destination # HLY94FR really gives you is the best overall value for a bike rack.
