Question:

If cost was no object what would you recommend for a hitch mounted two bike carrier, that could , for now carry one ebike and have the flexibility later to carry 2 e bikes , flexible enough for a Fat tire, but for now mostly a second road bike.? I care about security of the bikes, ease of rack installation and mounting, and durability/build quality. And to have swing out access to the rear hatch. I dont want to find missing or wrong parts when I am trying to install. I dont want anything with parts that are likely to break as even high priced Thule racks seem to have Please let me know your recommendation as soon as possible, thank you. I/m ready to buy when I know what to buy

If money is no object the best bike rack for the needs you mentioned is the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202.

It was designed for e-bikes so it has a higher weight capacity, can easily be used with standard bikes, can carry a fat bike with the fat tire adapter # TH985101, comes with very secure looks for the bikes and the rack, is very easy to install and remove as it's lighter weight and can fold down small for easy transport and storage, and overall is very high quality and durable. It also comes with a ramp to make loading/unloading bikes easier as well.

It also can tilt very far back to allow for rear cargo area access as well.

I attached a review video for this bike rack for you to check out as well.
