Recommended Rack for Carrying 2 Electric Bikes in Front Mount Receiver

Question:

I have a 2016 Nissan Titan XD with a front mounted Curt Class II hitch. I use an Allen bike hanging bike rack to carry two regular bikes. I would like to upgrade to a pair of 45# e-bikes. Do you have a platform bike rack that I could use on the front of my pickup truck? Thanks

A front mount receiver will typically have a 2 inch receiver opening like what's seen on a Class III hitch.

If that's the case, I'd recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE, part # HLY84FR. This rack will handle 2 bikes weighing up to 80 lbs each with tires up to 5 inches wide. This is more capacity than you actually need, but if you decide to upgrade to heavier bikes in the future or Fat bikes with wider tires, this rack will still work for you. Hollywood Racks build a high quality, very durable product which is why this is the rack I recommend most often for folks with electric bikes. The rack also includes keyed alike locks for theft deterrence.
