What Bike Rack do You Recommend for My 2 75-pound E-Bikes?
Question:
I have 2, 75 lbs e-bikes. I see the Hollywood rack can support two e-bike up to 80 lbs. Do you have a rack that supports 80 lbs or more that also has a ramp to help load and unload the bikes. I looked at the Yakima and the Thule but their weight capacity is below what I need for my bikes.

While you are correct that the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR has an 80 pound per-bike capacity, we unfortunately do not have a bike rack that offers the weight capacity you need that also has a ramp. With that being said, I recommend going with the # HLY84FR. It is important to note that, if you have a hitch installed on your 2006 Toyota Sienna already, that you have enough shank length on the Sport Rider SE in order to clear your rear bumper. The measurement from the center of the shank's pinhole to the closest part of the rack is 5 inches. I recommend measuring the center of your hitch's pinhole to the outside face of your bumper to make sure that length does not exceed 5 inches.
It is important to note that if you have women's bikes or bikes with step-thru frames, you need a bike frame adapter bar # 64005 for each of those bikes. The adapter bar provides a straight, horizontal plane on your bikes in order to attach them to the ratcheting hooks.
If you need a hitch that installs close enough to the bumper to give you enough bumper clearance, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13105. On a 2006 Sienna, the center of the pinhole to the face of the bumper only measures 4-1/2 inches. I went ahead and attached a installation video that highlights this measurement.
