Hello Jeff, thanks for reaching out. No, you cannot put a 65 lb e-bike on the Swagman Chinook Bike Rack # S64683. This rack is not rated for heavy bikes and has a maximum capacity of 45 lbs per bike. You will need a new rack to carry your new E-bike. I am happy to make a recommendation, but I have a few questions for your first.
First, is your trailer hitch a 1-1/4" receiver, or a 2"?
Second, what kind of bike do you have? Does it have fenders, or is it a step-thru frame?
Lastly, how many bikes do you need to carry? Just your e-bike, or do you want to carry two at a time?
Hit the reply button below and let me know. I am happy to look into it and make a recommendation.
