Hey Charles, the best option for an e-bike rack that fits a 1-1/4 inch hitch and is rated for use at the rear of a flat towed vehicle is definitely the Yakima OnRamp # Y96FR.

Answer 6

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…
