What is the Weight Capacity of the Swagman Impakt Bike Rack
Updated 11/18/2025 | Published 05/29/2025 >
Question:
Is the 45 lb weight capacity the total weight of the bike, or just the weight placed on the front fork?

Hey Phil, that's a great question but the weight capacity of the Swagman Impakt Bike Rack part # S62FR that you referenced is the weight of the bike it can be used with. So the bike would need to weigh less than 45 lb.

I have the same weight problem with the Impakt rack. My ebike weighs 73 lbs, although i believe that includes the 9 lb battery which can be removed. However nearly all electric bikes will exceed 45 lbs.
