Your tongue weight rating decides how many bikes fit · review
A folding 2-bike platform for a 2 inch receiver, rated 160 lb in total and built for heavy e-bikes and fat tires, at a mid-range price.
Our conclusion The value pick for two e-bikes, if you can lift them.
The TANX rack answers one question: how little can you spend and still carry two e-bikes? The 160 lb rating is the reason it is on this shelf.
Two bikes, 160 lb total, a universal 2 inch receiver fit, a folding frame, a tilt for vehicle access, an anti-wobble system, and padded, sliding wheel cradles for wide tires. The rack weighs 33.4 lb and measures 70.9 × 19.3 × 20 in.
Your vehicle sets the limit before the rack does. A full load is 160 lb of bikes plus 33.4 lb of rack, or 193.4 lb on the hitch. Many crossovers have a tongue weight rating below that. The number is in your owner’s manual and on the hitch label, and it applies with the car parked and on the road.
Weigh your bikes, and take the batteries off before loading if you can: that helps both your back and your tongue weight. This listing has no ramp, so think honestly about lifting a 60 lb bike to bumper height.
