Helpful Expert Reply:

The bike carrier I recommend to carry your Electric bikes is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR. This bike rack has a weight capacity of 80 lbs per bike. The rack tilts away from the vehicle to give you access to the hatch area and is also rated for use on the back of motorhomes, not all bike racks have that rating. I have attached a video reviewing the Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes.

If you are needing hitches for the 2004 Ford F-450 and 2021 VW Tiguan, we have great options for you there as well.

For the 2004 Ford F-450 the hitch I recommend is the Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41947. I recommend this hitch because it is adjustable so if you wanted to set it up higher on your vehicle to hide it if you prefer. It also has reinforced points inside the shank, this will help preventing rattle damage to your shank.

For the 2021 VW Tiguan I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12177. I recommend this bike rack because of the easy install and the fact that is nearly hidden from sight.
