- Weigh your bike first. Use the rack's per-bike limit with the battery in, then remove the battery for transport if your bike's maker advises it.
- Match the hitch. Most e-bike racks here need a 2 in receiver; check the class too. Do not use a 1-1/4 to 2 in adapter, and keep any hitch extension to 8 in or less.
- Check tire width and wheelbase. Fat tires and long cargo bikes need wider trays and a longer wheelbase range.
- Think about loading. A ramp helps if you load alone; wheel holders that adjust widely can rule a ramp out.
- Step-through frames need a seat-post clamp or a bike adapter.
- RVs are different. Only some racks are approved, and only for certain RV classes.
- Skip bike covers on the road: at highway speed a cover acts like a sail.
