The best bike rack to use with your 2022 Mercedes 1500 Sprinter Van is going to be the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # HLY84FR. This rack is rated to be used on both a van and a motorhome. It has an 80 lbs capacity per bike. It has a keyed-alike hitch lock, frame hooks, and security cable to prevent theft of your bikes and the rack itself.
