E-Bikes are increasingly popular, but they're also very heavy. If you want to transport one or more somewhere, you'll needed a heftier rack.
According to Yakima, the StageTwo wasn’t originally intended to carry e-bikes. It was originally designed to carry three conventional bikes, but when the company made the decision to have it carry only two, they didn’t change the spine’s strength. Engineers put the new version back through their testing process and found it could safely carry heavier bikes.TrailSport test vehicle. The rack arrives unassembled in a very sturdy and very heavy box. The total rack weighs 66 pounds.
Things get harder again when you have to hoist a bike onto the platform, because you know, we’re talking about something 55 pounds or more that’s inherently awkward. You obviously don’t want to damage the bike, your SUV/truck or yourself. The height of our vehicle’s hitch also comes into play, and a Honda Pilot TrailSport has hardly one of the highest hitch points out there.
Like most hitch-mounted racks, this one folds up against the liftgate/tailgate when not in use so you’re not uselessly adding a couple of extra feet onto your vehicle’s overall length. The StageTwo, however, also drops down so you don’t have to take your bike off when accessing the cargo area. I can’t underline how helpful this feature is.
