Can Hollywood Racks Destination eBike Rack Carry 72 lb Electric Bikes
Question:
I am looking at the Destination e-bike rack but my bikes are listed as 72 lbs each and I will be carrying two. Will this rack work for me?

Expert Reply:
It is possible, but you'd have to remove the batteries from your 72 lb ebikes in order to get below the 70 lb per-bike rating of the Destination ebike rack, which is the following part number:
- Hollywood Racks Destination eBike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY66ZR
So if you were willing to remove the batteries when you wanted to transport your bikes, then you could go ahead and use the # HLY66ZR. But if you wanted to leave the batteries on, you would need a rack with a larger capacity, and for bikes that heavy you'd need the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR.
The # HLY84FR has an 80 lb per-bike capacity, which is the most available, though it does not come with a ramp like the Destination, and is also a frame-mounted rack, so if one of your bikes had a step-thru frame you'd also need to give the rack a mounting point by adding the Bike Frame Adapter Bar # S57FR.
