Thanks for reaching out, Roy!

The term "best" can be a little subjective since everyone has their own experiences and needs/wants, but in regards to which bike rack has the best features it is the Thule Epos Bike Rack # TH99XE hands-down because it comes with a locking quick-pin system for easily installing the rack to a hitch, individual towers and locks for the bikes, wheels to help make toting it around easier, and a step on the back for tilting the rack away from the vehicle.

The only thing really missing from this rack is the ramp which can be acquired with part # TH43VA from our site.

The Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack # HLY66ZR and the Yakima OnRamp # Y96FR are great cost-effective alternatives, but out of both of those I recommend the Destination because it has better features to offer that make it easier to use.

Hi John, The Hollywood Racks Safety LED Light Bar for Bike Racks #HLY54RR won't work on the Hollywood Racks Destination EBike Rack #HLY66ZR. As you mentioned, you wouldn't be able to attach it, though there is an ebike rack it will work with,…

Hey Ken, so the light bar part #HLY54RR that you referenced was designed specifically to fit the Hollywood Racks Destination part #HLY66ZR but I am sure if you wanted to make it work it would be possible.

If your e-Bike has really short fenders then you will be okay to use the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack #Y47VR, but as a rule of thumb we recommend not using a wheel mount bike rack with a front-fendered bike just to avoid damaging the fender. For a…

The Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack item #HLY66ZR doesn't have the strength to be rated for a front mount hitch. The folding point isn't strong enough. Instead you will want the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes…
