Hey Bea, thanks for the information! I recommend the Yakima OnRamp LX Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # Y28DJ. This bike rack fits a 1-1/4" class II hitch with a 300 lbs tongue weight. It weighs only 53.5 lbs and has a 70 lbs per bike capacity. The included ramp is conveniently folded and stored in an easily accessible spot on the bike rack.

The OnRamp LX item # Y28DJ has padded clamps with ratcheting straps that give you the option to connect your bike by the frame, seat post, or handle bar post. This is super helpful on e-bikes with non-traditional frames or ones with fenders. The wheel trays work with tires up to 3-1/2" wide and wheel bases up to 50" long.

What year, make, and model vehicle are you going to be attaching your bike rack to?

Hey Bea, how did the Yakima OnRamp LX bike rack work out for your e-bikes? Was the ramp easy enough to use when loading and unloading? Your feedback could really help others looking for a simple option for heavier bikes.
