Ebike rack

It appears to be a fairly close copy of a Hollywood rack, at half the price; apparently the cracking, and in some cases, the catastrophic failure of welds is the reason for the recall.

We have had the Hollywood mounted to our vehicle since July, we use it to carry our two, 65+ pound bikes. To date, we have been very happy with the performance; some of the reasons:
- The ramp makes loading/unloading a breeze;
- The tightening mechanism of the rack to the 2" receiver eliminates wobble, vibration, and chatter;
- The rack locks to the receiver, and the support arms which attach to the bike are lockable with the same key;
- When not being used, the rack can be folded vertically, greatly reducing its extension behind the vehicle;
- the rack can be pivoted, while loaded, to allow access to vehicles with a rear-hatch, like our Subaru Outback;
- The support arm, and the three straps which hold the bike wheels to the rack, do an excellent job of securing the bikes, allowing minimal movement.

The rack is pricey, in the range of a Thule, but its 150-pound (68-kg) load rating, ease of use, and secure attachment are worth it for us.

Oh, and it also handles wide tires capcut pro ios, we had to retire our old platform rack when I purchased my Bulls Step-thru this year.

For the record I spent a long time researching a bike rack. I finally settled on the Atera strada XL. It fits very securely on the tow bar of our Mini Countryman. And comfortably carries my Tero X and my wife’s Como 3.0. We have completed hundreds of miles with it.
 
We got this one to carry my wife's Zugo on our camper:

It's worked pretty good so far... but now that I got a bike too, I gotta look for a double rack.
 
I have this one. I paid $135 on sale. It's a pain in the butt to install as it uses a bolt to attach it to the hitch. It wobbles a lot unless you use the tie downs. I only go about a mile to the trailhead, so it works for now. I'll upgrade at some point.

I wonder why they say "not for RV use"... and one of the pictures on the linked page shows it mounted on a RV...
 
I have the Mach2 QuikRstuff bike rack and it is RV rated. You can only use:
- the 2" version,
- two bike max,
- using extender, adapters, swing arms or bike covers can damage the rack (void warranty),
- it needs to be a chassis mounted hitch receiver (not a bumper only hitch)
- the distance from the rear axle to hitch pin needs to less than 96 inches
