Hello Karla, Wow, that is a really nice e-bike! I do not blame you for wanting a ramp for your e-bike, just because you can lift your bike doesn't mean that you should. For your 2024 Aventon A-Level 2 step through Commuter E-bike I recommend the…

Hitch bike racks for 3 bikes offer a sturdy and versatile solution for transporting your bikes. With options for different receiver sizes and features like tilting for easy access, these racks are perfect for road trips and daily commutes alike.
3-bike hitch racks are designed to accommodate a range of bike weights, from lightweight road bikes to heavier e-bikes. Many racks feature adjustable cradles and sturdy construction to ensure stability and security during transport, even for bikes weighing up to 75 lbs each.
The tilting feature on 3-bike racks allows you to access your vehicle's trunk or hatch without removing the rack. This is especially useful for SUVs and hatchbacks, making it easy to grab gear or snacks during a road trip without the hassle of unloading bikes.
Most 3-bike hitch racks come with clear instructions and are relatively easy to assemble and install. Some may require basic tools like a socket and hex wrench. Once installed, they fit snugly into the receiver, ensuring a secure hold for your bikes.
While adding three bikes can increase the load on your vehicle's suspension, most vehicles handle the weight well. For example, a 2020 Outback only squats about 1/2 inch with three 30-pound bikes loaded, showing minimal impact on suspension.
Locks on 3-bike racks are essential for security, but quality varies. Some racks come with basic locks that deter casual theft but may not be robust. Consider investing in additional or upgraded locks for peace of mind, especially for visible locking cable pins.
