Recommended Bike Rack For An E-Bike, Regular Bike, And Child's Bike

Question:

Hello, we drive a Metris van with a 2 inch Curt hitch, 900 lbs tongue weight. Not sure what class it is. I ride an ebike with fenders, my husband rides a regular bike and kiddos bike can go in the back but will eventually need to go on the rack. Im looking for options, but it seems some of the best options for 3 bikes are all wheel mounts, I think I will need a frame mount. Can you suggest a product that might fit the bill, or a 2 bike rack that can be extended when the time comes? My bike is the only heavy one, I think its 55lbs. Thank you!

I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR. This bike rack has a weight capacity of 80lbs per bike to easily handle the weight of your e-bike and mounts to the frame of your bikes using padded ratcheting clamps.

It has an anti-rattle handle that reduces movement of rack in hitch receiver as well as a welded stop plate that automatically aligns the shank and hitch pin holes for easy installation.

Later on down the road when you child's bike gets too big to fit in the back of the van you can get the 2 Bike Add-On for Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 for 2" Hitches # HR1475Z to easily haul their bike as well.
