What to know before buying
- The listing states a two-inch receiver and e-bike compatibility. Confirm fit for the vehicle, each bike's geometry and weight, and whether the optional loading ramp is needed.
Listing details to confirm
The title gives 120 lb total capacity, matching two stated 60 lb tray limits. Confirm the actual loaded bike weights and vehicle hitch limits before use, as rack capacity alone does not establish vehicle capacity.
