Question:
I think this rack is a good fit for my Lectric 2.0 Ebike. My question is do you have to lift the entire bike to set it on the rack, or can you sort of lift the front wheel on and then sort of push it the rest of the way. I am a 5 foot tall woman who has to load a 60 lb Ebike solo. Thanks

You would have to lift your entire Lectric 2.0 ebike on the Swagman Current, as there's no way to just set it on and push it the rest of the way due to its standalone cradles.
The only option to load a bike front-wheel first and push it on really is a bike rack with a ramp. While this is more expensive than a rack with standard cradles like the Current, it makes loading significantly easier. The best option that will work for your Lectric 2.0 ebike is from Thule:
- Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202
The EasyFold comes with a ramp so you can just push your bike up and on the rack without issue, so no lifting is needed whatsoever.
