Is There a Bike Adapter Bar Rated for E-Bike Weights
Question:
Do you have any adapter bars that are rated for a 50 lb ebike? It will be for a hanging version Allen bike hitch rack. Thanks.

Helpful Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you but the reason the bike adapter bars are not rated for e-bikes is because the hanging style racks they are designed to be used with do not have the capacity for e-bikes, most max out at around 35 lbs which is pretty much standard. If you instead need a rack specifically for e-bikes, the Saris Freedom Bike Rack part # SA4412B is a great cost effective option for this with 60 lb per bike weight capacity.
