Question:
How well do does the Benton 4 bike rack hold up with 4 heavier electric bikes? I have 4Trek electric bikes within the weight limit that rack states. Does it shake a lot? Would I have worry if it fell apart?

Hey Mark,
The Benton Shifts & Grins # B82FR is a great 4 bike rack. Typically any bike rack with 4 bikes may have some rattle when pulling, but Benton includes an anti rattle pin in their bike rack to eliminate that issue. I was going to mention the 55lb capacity per bike, but it sounds like you are inside of that weight limit so you are good on that end. With its powder coated steel design you will not have to worry about this falling apart when using it.
Where do you usually take those e-bikes to bike?
