It's rated to carry up to 2 e-bikes with the batteries removed, alongside mountain and road bikes, and a foot-operated tilt gives you boot access without unloading the bikes first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoading bikes for a trip often means blocking the boot or wrestling straps around an awkward roof mount. A tow ball platform carrier keeps the bikes low and off the roof, and the foot-tilt swings the loaded rack down and out of the way, so you can still reach the boot without taking the bikes off first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTow ball mounted\u003c\/strong\u003e – fits a standard tow ball or gooseneck fitting
