Bike Rack For 77 lb Electric Bike

Published 02/15/2023

Question:

Hi, I was wondering if a can transport Tern GSD ebike on this rack as a single bike. The wheelbase of the bike is 48. The weight is 77 lbs. My question is if chinooks weight limit is 45 lbs per bike is that the same is 90 lbs total? In other words if thats the only bike on the rack can it be used? Thank you

A bike rack's per-bike capacity can't be doubled even if you are carrying a single bike; so a bike with a 45 lb per-bike weight limit means the most a bike can weigh - whether it's one bike or two - is 45 lbs. There is just one bike rack that is capable of hauling a 77 lb electric bike, from Hollywood Racks:

- Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HLY74FR

The # HLY74FR has an 80 lb per-bike weight capacity and works with tires up to 5 inches wide and wheelbases up to 60 inches.
