We just got a second eBike so now we need to be able to transport them. We have a 2019 Ford Ranger with a 2 inch receiver so a hitch mount seems to be the way to go. I worry about a rack that can handle to two different styles. One bike is a Trek Verve 3+ which has a step through frame. The other is a Giant Explore E+ which has a more conventional diamond frame with a top bar that could easily be gripped by an adjustable holder. Both bikes have fenders and a rear rack. What might you folks recommend. I've seen some nice Kuat and Thule racks but seems like they can get to $700 pretty quick. I know that when carrying probably $6K of bikes, a rack is no where to scrimp, but had originally thought I could find a quality rack to do the job in the $500 range but maybe I'm kidding myself. I want it to hold up well into the future and don't want to inflict any unnecessary damage to the bikes.
