Title: ebike rack
Post by: Just4fn on August 14, 2025, 03:14:53 PM
I purchased a Young Electric 2 ebike rack that supports 200lbs.  I like the rack except..... You can't lock the rack to the car.  They made the pin a threaded pin and a standard pin won't go thru the receiver hitch.   It works ok but the rack isn't secure. So you install the hitch onto the receiver and then screw on the threaded hitch pin and put a keeper thru the hole in the pin. Are other racks like this?

I've looked further into this and found a locking threaded hitch pin.  I've ordered it and we will see if it works.

I didn't know there were ebike racks that had a threaded hitch pin. We have a cargo rack that has the same setup. Good work finding a locking and threaded hitch pin.

My hitch carrier platform I bought for my Lectric trike uses a threaded hitch pin. I ordered a locking one from Amazon. Amazon doesn't sell the one I bought anymore, but there are lots of them out there if you search for threaded hitch pin. It does help hold the carrier tighter to the hitch so there's less wobble and noise.
