Motorhome and Towed Vehicle Bike Rack Recommendation for e-Bikes

Updated 03/02/2022 | Published 02/28/2022

Question:

I’m looking for a recommendation for a bike rack to haul two Electra Townie E-bikes. They are both step through with fenders. Weight is approximately 43 lbs each without batteries. The rack would be on a tow car pulled by a class A motor home. We may want to attach the rack to the motor home when we are traveling without towing a vehicle. We are elderly, so easy loading would be a plus. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

Thank you for all of the information! For your application I recommend going with the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY64FR. This doesn't come with a ramp for easy loading but it is rated for up to 2 e-Bikes weighing in at 80 lbs and it has a clamping system that can be adjusted to fit with the step-through frames and fenders of your Electra Townie e-Bikes. This is also one of the few bike racks compatible with both a motorhome and a flat-towed vehicle.

Attached is a review video for you to check out.
