Question:
e-bike rack for 2012 chevy volt Im not strong, so platform/low to the ground is best for me to lift the thing ebike is a magnum ui6, and I can take the battery out thus 43 pounds ebike has fenders and rear bike rack, and Ive heard some of the platforms dont work well with fenders is there any webbing/straps I can hook into the truck for more side-to-side stability and maybe to take some weight off? Im nervous that a 2012 chevy volt cant handle a lot of weight on the tow hitch, but I dont know how much it can. thanks

Thanks for the picture! The best bike rack for your Magnum Ui6 Electric Bike is going to be the Yakima OnRamp item # Y96FR if your Volt has a 1-1/4" trailer hitch receive. The Yakima OnRamp has the capacity to carry two e-bikes weighing up to 66 lbs apiece. One of the best features of this bike rack is the cradle to attach to your bikes is adjustable and can be rotated, allowing it to attach to the cross tube of your bike. The frame mount design will not interfere with your fenders, and is the only option to work around them. You won't need to worry about straps or webbing.
Another feature that makes the OnRamp so appealing is the included ramp which makes loading heavier bikes easier by allowing you to roll the bikes up the ramp, instead of having to lift them up.
You may also need the Fat Tire Straps for Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack item # Y23FR.
You will want to confirm with your owner's manual or call your local dealership but it looks like your 2012 Chevy Volt has a 300 lbs tongue weight capacity. That is more than enough to carry this bike rack and your Magnum Ui6.
