Recommended Bike Rack For Carrying Two 24" Pedego Boomerang e-Bikes

Question

Question:

Hi, I’m considering the purchase of 2 24” Pedego Boomerang e-bike, which according to the specs weighs 54 lbs each without the battery. I have 2 Hollywood Sport Rider SE for recumbents which I purchased for a Subaru Outback 2016 and a 2018 Winnebago Travato Dodge Ram chassis and have been happy with them. Can I use the Hollywood racks that I already have to transport the e-bikes or do I need to get a different rack. If I need to get a different rack, what would you recommend. Thanks!

I recommend using the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack # Y36FR for your 24" Pedego Boomerang e-bikes. Your Hollywood Sport Rider SE for recumbent bikes is only rated for up to 50lbs per bike. The Yakima provides a ramp to make loading your bike much easier and the frame strap will allow you to secure the bike in place. This rack is capable of carrying 2 bikes up to 66lbs per bike.

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…
