Hello,
I just received my new rad rover 6 plus and am loving it!
I have searched far and wide, read many posts, articles and reviews on bike racks but am seeking your help as I just can?t find a solution
My family has 4 bikes total
- 1 teenager mountain bike
- 2 adult mountain bikes
- 1 electric rad rover 6 plus
Note: we may upgrade 1 adult mountain bike to a rad rover in the future.
We require a bike rack to help us move these 4 bikes around.
My vehicle hitch is not an issue (can hold 850 lbs)
I think the Hollywood sport rider is the only rack I have seen that can support a bike up to 80 lbs, but this rack can only hold two bikes (I require 4)
I have also looked at the
- Kuat NV 2.0 (https://www.kuat.com/product/nv-2-0)
- Thule - T2 Pro XTR (https://www.thule.com/en-ca/bike-rack/hitch-bike-racks/thule-t2-pro-xtr-2---2-_-9034XTR)
Both of these seem very high end, and can have 4 bikes (but supported bike weight drops with the add on). They can support larger weights for bikes (currently I have 1 Ebike and 3 mountain bikes)
Can these racks that are rated for 60 lbs per bike support slightly heavier bikes like the rad rover 6 plus (with the battery removed)?
All of the choices mentioned look good, but pricey....I'm surprised that no one else has chimed in ;)

I am looking for a heavy duty 2 ebike hitch, expandable to 4, and after research I am going with the Kuat you suggested
HUGE fan of the 1UP bike racks, best built and built in the USA!!!
