Question:

Does installing this hitch on the trailer tongue with e-bikes increase the tongue weight and require you to adjust your equalizing hitch?

Hey Robert, this is a great question! Yes, when you install and the Lets Go Aero Jack-E Bike Rack part # LGA92ZR the weight of it and your bikes would could as additional tongue weight and would require you to make some adjustments to your spring bar tension to compensate for that. How heavy are your bikes?

@RobertH Right on! Well the bike rack weighs 70 lbs so total you'd be looking at a weight of 190 lbs of additional tongue weight.
