Which Hitch Mounted Bike Rack is Best for 2 Heavy E-bikes?  

Great question! The math sounds right, but this is not recommended by most rack makers. While the rack itself may be able to hold it UP, the cradles, straps and other parts that hold the bike safely to the rack may not be rated to handle the extra…

The ratcheting hooks on the Swagman Current #S64678 can slide up and down the post of the rack to accommodate most alternative bike frames styles. For a guaranteed mounting point on your step-thru bike, you can purchase the Swagman Bike Frame Adapter…

We do carry the Swagman Ramp and Bridge #S32YR for the Swagman Current Bike Rack #S64678. This will also fit the Swagman E-Spec #S94FR and G10 bike racks.

We do have several Tilt-Away bike rack options for you to hook up to your hitch. The platform racks will be the best bet, especially when dealing with the frame on a women-style bike. The two Swagman models you referenced are great choices for this.…
