How to Transport an Electric Bike Plus 3 Regular Bikes with a Vehicle

Question:
Hi, I have an electric bike - about 65 pounds. Our other three bikes are lighter-weight 12- 23 pounds each. I am looking for a hitch rack that could handle all four bikes. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time,

The best option I can give you would be the Hollywood Racks bike rack part # HR1450E. This is the only rack we offer that can carry a bike as heavy as your 65 lb electric bike as it is rated for up to an 80 lb bike.
This rack can carry 2 bikes, so for your other two bikes the only option you would have would be a roof rack mounted bike rack like the SportRack Roof 2 Bike Rack # SR4882 that can carry up to 2 bikes.
To install this rack you will need a roof rack that has crossbars that run from left to right on your vehicle. If you do not have a rack like this you will want to follow the link I attached that will take you to our roof rack fitguide where you can enter your year/make/model and the correct roof racks will be listed.
