Im looking for a bike rack that can support two electric bike that weigh 67 pounds each. Might the 4 rack, 35 pound weight limit work for me? One of the bikes is a fat tire. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

We have a solution but we must stay within the weight ratings given to us by the manufacturers. The Hollywood Racks Destination 4 Bike Platform Rack part # HR4000 is limited to 35 lbs. per bike slot.

Instead, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE part # HLY74FR is designed for both E bikes and fat tire bikes making it perfect for both of the bikes you want to transport. it will handle tire widths up to 5"in width and bikes up to 80 lbs.
