Recommended Method to Carry Two 45 Pound E-Bikes With A 2020 Lincoln MKZ

Question:

Do you carry an E-Bike rack for two E-Bikes, each weighing about 45lbs that will fit on the trunk of a 2020 Lincoln MKZ? Thank you

I went ahead and checked to see what we have for you, and the closest I was able to get to what you're needing is the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL.

This bike rack will mount to the trunk of your 2020 Lincoln MKZ and will allow you to transport up to two bikes weighing 35-lbs each. Theoretically, if there is a way to shed 10-lbs per bike this could work, but I understand that's a tall order.

Instead, the best option for your situation is to install a trailer hitch # C12091 if one is not present already, and use a hitch mounted bike rack like the Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # SA4025F. Using this bike rack would give you a120-lbs capacity or 60-lbs per bike, and will easily slide into and out of your trailer hitch.

I know it's probably not the route you're wanting to take since you're asking for a trunk mounted rack, but realistically this is going to be your best bet as there is not a trunk bike rack that exists that can handle the weight.
