Recommended E-Bike Bike Racks for 1-1/4 Hitch and 2 Hitch  

Question:

Do you have a 2-bike platform bike rack that will hold one ebike and one regular bike? Putting it on either a 2018 Corolla with existing 1-1/4 hitch or 2021 Honda CR-V and buying new 2 or 1-1/4 hitch. Thank you from a repeat satisfied customer!

The best bike rack for a 1-1/4" hitch that will accommodate e-bikes is going to be the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack item # Y96FR. This bike rack fits a class II receiver so you will want to verify your Toyota's hitch is a class II. The best way is to see if there is a metal plate welded into the end of the receiver if there is no metal plate then you have a class II. It has the capacity to carry two e-bikes weighing up to 66 lbs a piece. You will want to mount your e-bike closest to the rear of the car on the carrier. It is recommended to remove the battery when you are transporting e-bikes.

If you end up needing more capacity and want to add a 2" receiver to your 2021 Honda CR-V you will want the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # HLY84FR you were looking at. It has a 80 lbs per bike capacity. Both of these bike racks are frame mount and compatible with nearly all e-bikes.

To add a hitch to your 2021 Honda CR-V you will want the etrailer hitch item # e98848. This will give you more options for accessories and towing plus you will get a higher capacity. If you need to use a 1-1/4" accessory you can use the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver item # HT02.
