Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying 60 lb E-Bike

Question:

Looking to use with my 60 lb ebike. Will this be fine as the weight limit is higher than that?

We have great bike rack solutions for carrying heavier E-bikes but the weight capacity for the Curt hitch rack part # C18064 is the combined capacity for all of the frame cradles. A single frame cradle of this rack would not have the capacity needed for a 60 lb e-bike.

You'd want something like the Swagman E-Spec part # S94FR which was reinforced for use with heavier e-bikes. This has a 70 lb weight capacity.
