The Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack, part # TH96TX weighs 52 pounds when used as a 2 bike carrier, and can carry up to 2 bikes of up to 60 pounds each. It weighs 96 pounds when used as a 4 bike carrier and can hold up to 160 pounds total with a per-bike weight limit of 60 pounds. This carrier has wheels to help you move it around. Check out the video to see how this works.

The now-discontinued Thule T2 Classic # TH9044 had a 60 pound per-bike weight capacity. If your e-bikes drops below that weight after removing the battery it will work great. If the 63 pound weight you mentioned is with the battery already taken off, then you'll need to go with a higher-rated carrier (even though it's only over by a few pounds). I recommend checking out the Yakima OnRamp # Y88DJ that can handle up to 80 pound bikes and features an integrated ramp to help with loading.

Thanks for reaching out, Walter! The 40 lb per bike weight limit listed on the Benton ShiftShow Bike Rack #B94FR has to do with the strength of the cradles themselves, so if you were to load up a 47 lb bike you would still be overloading the cradle.…
