Question:

I have a Ford F150 4x4 with a Curt Class 3 front receiver that I purchased from you. When towing our travel trailer, I mount our Yakima cradle style bike rack to carry our standard mountain bikes on the front receiver without any problems. We recently ordered a couple of RadRover bikes and would like to carry them on the front, when towing the trailer. I see that this rack is not recommended for carrying on the front of the truck. Why is that, and do you carry a rack that is compatible to carry bikes on the front? Thank you.

Expert Reply:

The Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack item # HLY66ZR doesn't have the strength to be rated for a front mount hitch. The folding point isn't strong enough.

Instead you will want the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # HLY64FR. This by far the best bike rack we have for the Rad Rover Step-Thru Electric Bikes with fat tires. It's the only option that has all the features you need: 80 lbs per bike weight capacity, adjustable cradles for odd frame size, adjustable wheel hoops for fat tires, and is front hitch approved.
