Expert Reply:

The Inno Tire Hold 4 Bike Platform Rack part # INH142 is listed as having a carrier weight of 118 lbs which is the full weight of the carrier without packaging. The Inno Tire Hold 4 Bike Platform Rack is very durable and well made but with this comes a heavy rack. If you watch the video on the Inno Tire Hold # INH142, you will see that it has wheels to move it around to make up for its heaviness. It will also show you, in detail, how to install the rack.

If you are looking for a lighter option, the Kuat NV 2.0 4-Bike Platform Rack part # NV22B-NA22B is only 82 lbs.

The best (and only) rack we have available for this setup is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider # HLY87RR. This unique carrier can handle both a trike that's up to 90 pounds and an e-bike that weighs as much as 80 pounds. For the step-thru frame you can add an adapter bar like # HRBA-PRO to provide a horizontal attachment point for the ratcheting hook.
