Best Bike Rack for an E-Bike on a 5th Wheel Trailer
Updated 05/24/2022 | Published 05/23/2022
Question:
Im looking for an e-bike rack that will fit 4inch tires. The bike weighs 35 lbs without the battery, 75 lbs with the battery. I looked at the swagman. I just bought a 2" receiver hitch and plan on installing it on my 5th wheel. At this point I only need to carry one bike. What bike carrier would you recommend given these limitations? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

For you application I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # S94FR. This bike rack is rated to be used behind a 5th wheel trailer. It fits a 2" receiver so this will be perfect for your 5th wheel trailer's new hitch. It also has the capacity to carry two e-bikes weighing up to 70 lbs a piece. This is our highest rated bike rack so you will have to remove your battery or find a few a pounds somewhere else to lighten your bike. It is recommended to remove the battery when using a bike rack. I have linked a review video below.
