What Hitch Bike Do You Recommend To Carry E-bikes On The Rear Of A 5th Wheel

Question:

we are looking at the Yakima 2 e bike rack for our fithwheel trailer, all was looking good and then the nice Laidy said that the weight ratting s to around 40 pounds if we use this hitch on our fithwhell trailer, thats not going to work as most e-bike weight is around 50 to 60 plus pounds per bike. is there a rack that will work for our e bikes they way 60 pound each?

We do have hitch bike racks that will work on the rear of your 5th wheel. My recommendation is the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # HLY64FR. This rack is rated to carry e-bikes on 5th wheels. It can carry bikes with tires up to 5" in width and 80 lbs.

I would double check your owner's manual to check the maximum weight limit is based on the 5th wheel or the trailer hitch. If the weight of the new hitch bike rack and the e-bikes you will carry do not exceed the maximum tongue weight of your 5th wheel, the Hollywood Racks RV Rider will be perfect.

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