Is there a Bike Rack w/ a Swing Away Arm for Two 75 lbs E-Bikes?

Question:

Good day, I have two ebikes and each weighs in at 75lbs. Ideally, we would want a swing out. Do you have anything capable of that weight bikes alone 150 lbs - so 200lbs min ? Any chance there is a swing arm to support them as well? Thank you

I have a bike rack that will work great but the closest I can get to one with a swing away feature is the RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack item # RKY10002 and it tops out at 60 lbs per bike.

For two 75 lbs e-bikes, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack item # HLY84FR. This is our highest capacity bike rack. It tops out at 80 lbs per bike and fits tires up to 5" wide. This rack uses locking ratcheting hooks on the center mast to hold your bikes securely by the frame. This works great for alternative frame bikes and bikes with fenders.

The Sport Rider SE item # HLY84FR weighs 53 lbs and fits a 2" class III receiver. It is not compatible with any type of hitch extender or swing away device. Additionally your 2021 Ram ProMaster 3500 skirts the line between a van and a motorhome when it comes to bike racks. This bike rack is compatible with both so if there are ever any warranty issues you will be covered.

The Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender item # PVD20B you were looking at, works with the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack item # BA22B but it also tops out at 60 lbs per bike.
