Question:
Im looking for an ebike rack to carry 2 ebikes. 85Ibs each. One of the bikes has a very long wheel base 54. I couldnt see what the maximum wheelbase was in the details section just that it was adjustable for the racks I looked at. Can you tell me what the maximum wheelbase is that you support?

Expert Reply:
Hey Mike! The wheelbase varies from bike rack to bike rack. The only rack that can hold that much weight is the Saris MHS DUO # SAR73MR with a capacity of 100 lbs per bike. However, the max wheelbase on this rack is 53" so you're just a little too long. If you can pull batteries off of those then you can use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR. This bike rack can hold 80 lbs per bike and works with a wheelbase up to 60" so yours won't be a problem.
What kind of e-bikes do you have?
