Recommendation for Bike Rack w/Ramp to Use on the Front of a 2012 Ford E-350
Question:
Do you have a bike rack that I can put on the front of my 2012 Ford E-350 Chassis? I fold the handlebars and remove the batteries when transporting. I’d like a ramp rack to use on the front of my rig for ease of loading - I have two heavy e-bikes at 65 - 70 pounds with the batteries removed. I currently have the Hollywood Sport e-Bike rack but I’m getting older and my hands and arms are getting arthritic.

For the best ramped option to be mounted on a front hitch of your 2012 Ford E-350, I recommend going with the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # TH903202. The EasyFold XT has a per bike maximum weight capacity of 65 pounds and comes with independently-adjusting cradles that fit virtually any bike frame style.
With these cradles, you do not need to worry about purchasing a bike frame adapter bar if you have women's bike frames or step-thru frames. It also comes with the integrated ramp you are looking for to increase the ease of loading. If you happen to have fat bike tires between 3 and 4-11/16 inches wide, you need the fat tire straps # TH985101.
If you need a front hitch recommendation for your 2012 Ford E-350, I recommend the Curt # 31053.
