Hitch bike racks
Lift the bike, or roll it up?
Both carry two e-bikes on a 2 inch receiver. The Young Electric adds a ramp, more capacity and a lot more weight on your hitch.

A tick marks the better answer on that line only. Counting ticks does not decide the page — the two verdicts below do, because these products answer different questions.
The one to buy if you can lift your bikes. It costs well under half as much, and the lighter rack leaves more tongue weight for the bikes.
The one to buy if you cannot lift your bikes, on a vehicle that can take about 266 lb on its hitch.
Add the rack to the bikes. At full capacity that is about 193 lb for the TANX and 266 lb for the Young Electric.
If they come off easily, yes. It helps your back and your tongue weight.
