A hitch rack is a bike rack that mounts to the receiver hitch at the rear of your vehicle. Hitch racks are popular because they are simple to install and offer a secure, stable solution for carrying multiple bikes. They come in two main types: platform-style racks and dual arm racks. Platform racks support the bikes by the wheels and tend to be more stable, while dual arm racks support the bikes by the frame.

Unlike tow ball racks, hitch racks connect directly to a vehicle's hitch receiver, either 1.25” or 2” depending on your vehicle's size and weight capacity. The rack slides into the hitch receiver and is fastened with a pin or locking mechanism for safety.

Most hitch bike racks are compatible with either a 1.25” or 2” hitch receiver. The size you need depends on the vehicle you drive and the number of bikes you plan to carry. Larger vehicles typically have 2” receivers, which are ideal for carrying more bikes or heavier models, such as e-bikes.

Absolutely. Several hitch racks, such as those in the E-Hornet and E-Scorpion series, are specifically designed to handle the weight and size of e-bikes. These racks are built with heavy-duty materials and large wheel cradles to support heavier bikes securely.
