Recommended Hitch for Hauling a Bike Rack w/ a 2022 Lexus RX 450h

Question:

I have an Aventon Aventure fat tire ebike. I also drive a 2022 Lexus RX 450h. I've been keeping it in the back trunk area but I need a better solution because it's heavy and there's not much room.

The only way to transport a heavy e-bike, like a Aventon Aventure, is to use a hitch mounted bike rack. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack item # HLY84FR. This bike rack has a 80 lbs per bike capacity and fits tires up to 5" wide.

The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack item # HLY84FR is frame mounted bike rack that uses padded ratcheting hooks to grip your bike's frame. It will completely avoid the wheels and any fenders your Aventure may have. The Sport Rider SE also has built in locks that not only secure the bike rack to your Lexus but also the bike to the rack. This system uses the same key for all locks as well.

I have linked a review video below so you can see the functions of this bike rack. If you have any additional questions feel free to email me directly.

If you do not have a hitch on your Lexus, I recommend the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver item # DT58GR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your RX450h with included hardware.
