What E-Bike Hitch Bike Rack Do You Recommend for Electric Bikes on a 2005 Chevy Silverado?
Question:
We have two e-bikes that both weight over 70lbs each. Trying to find a rack that will work. Prefer a ramp type

Expert Reply:
I have a great option for you. Unfortunately, we do not carry a rack with a per-bike capacity over 70 pounds that has an integrated ramp. However, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR because it has a per-bike weight capacity of 80 pounds.
With that being said, the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR has the largest per-bike weight capacity that we carry with 66 pounds per bike. Depending on how much your e-bikes weigh with the batteries detached, you may still be able to use the OnRamp.
If you need a 2-inch hitch to transport your bikes on the Sport Rider SE or OnRamp, I would be happy to recommend a hitch for you if you can provide me what option of Silverado you have (1500, 2500, or 3500) and the bed length of your truck.
