After my recent 2 Ebike build I ran into a big wall. I own 2 Kias. Hitch was going to be a 1.25. my bikes came out at 44lbs each with batteries and seat post removed.
I started searching.... I found nothing that met my needs and could handle 90lbs. Almost all racks were 70lbs.
Decided to give vendors a call. Hollywood ended up being the ticket. The Trail Rider cost me $143.00 on amazon and it works great. Can handle 90lbs on a 1.25 hitch.
I'm certainly glad I went with removable batteries at this point.
We have had the bikes out on the rack a bunch of times now. No slop and the rack seems very well built.
And before anyone says anything bad about Kia. The 2 I own have not had a single repair issue in 90k miles. Nothing I have ever owned has been this reliable.
Anyways... hope this helps someone in the same situation I was in.
