Cargo Carrier For Rv's Using As A E-Bike Rack

Question

Question:

This looks like a great rack for carrying cargo on the back of my RV! Without suggesting another product, I just want your thoughts on using this rack to carry my 2 folding ebikes. Fold them up, place on rack, strap them down and go! Bike weigh 60 pounds each. I feel they would be secure and would have a low center of gravity. Again, your thoughts, thanks

First let's make sure that this carrier # e96ZR will fit your RV. This carrier would fit 4" x 4" and 4-1/2" x 4" RV bumper. I think that this will work well for you, but tying your bikes down on their side may leave some scratches so you may want to get a moving blanket of some sort to prevent that from happening,
