Question:
I am looking for a single, heavy duty high quality electric bike carrier. Do you have one like this? It would be helpful if I could upgradeinch it with an extension for a 2nd e-bike later. My new Giant e-dirt II has 27.5 inch tires that are just shy of 3 inch wide and the bike weights about 70 lbs with everything on it. Need something I can easily load/unload as I have to use it for work for now and have to load and then unload it 3 separate times per day. I can lift the bike some but have shoulder, knee and lower back issues. My budget is around $200. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
For a 70 lb E-bike with fat tires we really only have one option that will work well. That's the Hollywood Racks # HLY84FR that has a weight capacity of 80 lbs per bike and can accommodate tire widths of up to 5 inches. It can also carry up to two bikes.
The Thule EasyFold # TH903202 is really the only bike rack with load assistance but it only has a capacity of 65 lbs per bike.
