My wife and I have recently bought 2 ebikes and we want a tow bar mounted rack but being electric the two bikes weigh a total of 50kg. Can anyone recommend a suitable rack?

As I can’t manage to lift my bikes I have this one

Thanks for your recommendations but I've done some research and this seems to fit the bill

We put two e-bikes on a Thule Velocompact 2; this has a max of 46kg however our Canyons are just under 20kg each with the batteries removed. The Velocompact is great as it collapses down - I can even get it into the boot of my SL.

Been using it on this car and previously all over Europe no problems at all.

I’ve just bought the three bike version and am really pleased with it so far; good value and very solid.

Third recommendation for the Buzz E Scorpion

Been through numerous racks over the years but when I bought my latest bike the wheelbase was too long for the ones I had. Really impressed by how easy the Buzz rack is to fit (less than a minute), the way it pivots to allow access to the boot for the stuff I inevitably forget to pack until after I’ve loaded the bike and how easily it folds up to fit into the boot so that I’m not worried about some scrote nicking it while I’m on my ride…

Fair comment. The link is for their 2 bike 60kg carrier at £432 but what comes if you click it a a £178 version with a 30kg load. I ordered the right one at the weekend but they're out of stock and upgraded the order to a more expensive 3 bike unit for the same price.
