Unhappy eBike Rack?

Finding a bike rack that will carry the weight of two ebikes is challenging. What is everyone using and recommending? I am finding no deals other than $400+ Plus Tax on AMAZON. None to be had locally in bike shops.. Thanks.

Yes, it's going to be expensive. And there is a huge backlog on bike racks right now.

When I looked it was $450 and up to find an appropriate rack. I ended up with a Vibrelli V70 Sport Bike Rack, but it sells for just under $500.

It is a good bike rack but didn't work well with my SUV/Hitch. So, I sold it on Craigslist for much less than I paid for it. You might check your local Craigslist for a deal.

Check out etrailer.com
They will have what you need for ebikes.
The best ebike rack would be the Thule, its not cheap and the simplicity is fantastic
Very informative site with videos.
Their customer service is excellent.

I have a Yakima Holdup EVO and it works fine, Kuats are popular and nice, but I have alot of Yakima stuff and they are all keyed alike. Main point- second shout out for etrailer, I use them a lot.
