Hitch Mount Bike Rack to Carry Fat Tire Electric Bikes

Products Featured in This Question
Question:
While I appreciate the recommendation, Im not a fan of the hinge system and the need for extra accessories nor are lots of reviews. It seems the Thule EasyFold XT might be a better suggestion? Although, it seems this whole heavy bike market is lacking a quality option.

I do have a solution for you, but while we do have 4-bike racks that work with fat tire bikes, none of them are able to carry 4 bikes that weigh in at 65 - 70 lbs each like what you're talking about. The closest we have is something like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # HR1400Z which only goes up to 50 lbs per bike.
Because of this, I believe your best scenario is to fold up 2 of the bikes and put them in the back of your vehicle and then using a bike rack like the Yakima OnRamp for 2" Hitches # Y36FR which can carry up to 66 lbs per bike (when you remove the battery your bikes will weigh under this) and then you can use the Adapter Straps # Y23FR so that this rack will work with the fat tires on your bikes.
Attached is a review video for you to check out.
