    E-Bike rack and hitch possible on my car?

    Thank you so much. Very thoughtful to look that up. I agree with you about getting the hitch seperate. You really made me laugh about the reason to pay U-Haul. I'll be hitting 70 next week.

    E-Bike rack and hitch possible on my car?

    That was their selection. I found it high as well.. This place is the only one that I know has any variety of e-bike racks. The others places are "hitch" places and might only carry the Thule EasyFold XT 2-Bike Hitch Rack. The e-bike stores here usually have only that rack. The think is that...

    E-Bike rack and hitch possible on my car?

    The E-bike that I liked and tried is 62 pounds and the battery is removable. A Ride1UP 700 that is sold retail in a store here. I had a lot of fun trying it, seemed to fit me well. I would need a way to drive it home after I bought it.

    Thank you for your comment. My e-bike dreams are starting to fade. 😢 I'm concerned about the wobble also.

    E-Bike rack and hitch possible on my car?

    And the maximun That your for posting that adapter. It appears that the limit is 200 pounds then first to 100 pounds for an adapter? A e-bike and rack would be about 100 pounds. I do have to mention that I am a senior who isn't particularly handy (handy challenged😄) and whatever I might get...

    E-Bike rack and hitch possible on my car?

    I'm so lost on this. I just got a quote from a local hitch company to install a Yakima 1.25 onramp e-bike rack. https://www.rackattack.com/hitch-bike-racks/yakima-onramp-1.25-inch/ Then I saw two, a Single and double e-bike racks from Ride1Up that supposedly works with 1.25"...

    E-Bike rack and hitch possible on my car?

    Thank you. I would never have more than 1 bike on it. I saw that the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes (TH903202) comes in 2" and 1 1/4 sizes. I hate to give up on getting a e-bike.. https://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Bike-Racks/Thule/TH903202.html

    E-Bike rack and hitch possible on my car?

    Can anyone give me some suggestions. I was at E-Bike USA in Denver, ready to purchase my E-Bike but there is a issue with getting a e-bike rack for my 2003 Acura TL 3.2 Type S rack for my car. Apparently, I can only get a to 1 1/4" class 1 hitch for the car. Thank you

    Hi, senior from Denver!!

    Shame on you. Shame on you. You think I'm lying? I called their number for sales, the one on their web site. Is it okay for us to call Ride1Up sales? It was obvious that the person I was speaking to was offshore. At the end, I asked him where he was while speaking to me. He said, the...

    Hi, senior from Denver!!

    I just spoke to Ride1UP. They told me that the 700ST is rated at 5'0". It seems a very good value but I'm concerned about support. My call to them was outsourced to a off-shore Philippines company. Didn't give me a lot of confidence on the support front. I am would have it assembled at E-bikes...

    Hi, senior from Denver!!

    There is an issue that I have to check. It has to do with all purpose trails in Colorado. They don't allow class 3 rated e-bikes on it. Apparently the 700 is a class 3 e-bike because the pedal assist can help up to 28mph. So, it can only go on streets and bike lanes. Ugh. Have to research this more.

    Hi, senior from Denver!!

    I was going to only consider getting an e-bike from a local at dealer until looking at the Ride1UP. I'm looking at the 700 series. It seems like a $3000 e-bike and has very attractive creature features. Certainly would need the power at times with them high altitude and hills here in Colorado...

    Bike rack for sedan that are economical, but solid.

    I think the $350 price is very reasonable. A lot better than $850. I am intrigued by this rack because of the ramp. It looks easy to mount the e bike in it and to take it down. Very important to me. Looks like it was made with more in of a dirt bike kind of usage, which doesn't matter to me. I...

    Bike rack for sedan that are economical, but solid.

    I think that we are seeing inflated pricing due to the effect that Covid has had on manufacturing..Look at the crazy increase in auto pricing.

    Bike rack for sedan that are economical, but solid.

    No ..I don't want that!! 😀 I wouldn't want anything "cheap" and I will have it installed by a pro. I'd like specific names of e-bike racks that are good for 1 bike, hitch connected, easy to move the bike into it that cost less than the Thule $850 rack. What's difficult for me is that the...
