Swing Out E-Bike Rack Recommendation
Question:
We have a sports van that has 2 full length rear doors that swing out to each side. We have 2 inch hitch. We need a 2 bicycle rack that swings out. One bike is a heavier electric one. Wondering what your recommendation might be for the most appropriate rack. We already have a Thule rack on our Subaru that has a feature that angles it down. I dont think it lowers it enough for the doors on the van to swing open. Thank you very much.

I would recommend the Yakima OnRamp e-bike rack par # Y36FR with the BackSwing pivot part # Y02483. This will give you an e-bike rack that has the higher weight capacity you need that has the ability to swing out with bikes loaded like you are wanting and also has a ramp setup to make loading and unloading the bikes easier.
