Hey Todd,

The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HLY94FR only has a 35lb per bike capacity so it will likely not be rated high enough to handle the weight of your bikes. From what I can see Aventon's range from 41 to 73lbs. Most e-bike racks are rated up to about 60 - 65lbs per bike with very few being over that. Do you know what your bikes weigh or can you tell me the model so I can look it up and see what's going to work?

@ToddM So we're looking at roughly 54lbs per bike then. In that case I recommend the Swagman Current Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S76SR. This rack has a per bike capacity of 60lbs, the wheel cradles have enough range to fit your wheelbase/tire size, and a ramp is included to help load and unload your bikes. You will need a frame adapter # S57FR to give the rack something to hold onto since these step through frames are so deep. Since your Honda Civic should only have a 1-1/4" trailer hitch you'll need to remove the 2" adapter sleeve on the shank of this rack in order to mount it. You'll definitely want to hang onto that sleeve though incase you ever wanting to transfer the rack over to a 2" hitch.

Hi Cameron! For your 2025 Mazda 3 Sedan, I prefer the Curt #C44DR over the Draw-Tite #24982. They are almost identical and have the same weight capacities, but Curt is made in America and Draw-Tite is not. This pretty much always pushed me to the…

The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack #HLY94FR can support up to 35 lb bikes so since you're needing to carry E-Bikes you need the Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack #HLY66ZR instead, which is rated for up to 70 lb bikes. I know the…

Hey Dan, thanks for reaching out! I'll start off with the hitch since flat towing parts are a longer list. For the hitch you need the EcoHitch #EH47FR as it's the only one that fits the 2010 Mini Cooper S Series. If you don't already have…

Hi Amy! The RockyMounts GuideRail Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount #RKY47ZR can be used with some bikes with fenders, but it is going to depend on said fenders. What kind of bikes will you be carrying? Some do have short…

Thanks for the information Tricia. I have a solution for you but the Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" Hitch Receivers item #GY88XR is not going to be the best option with the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack item #HLY94FR. There's a bit…
