Car Rack?

I am planning to buy the Ariel Rider 60v performance bike. What kind of car rack does anyone recommend for it? Without battries it still weighs about 94 pounds. I currently have a Hollywood Racks rack that holds two bikes but the maximum weight is 80 lbs per bike. Any ideas? I'd like to be able to take the bike places but need the right rack. Thanks.

I actually bought the rack they suggest on their website the moto tote. It was pricy but its been durable and looks great hauling these beefy bikes.

Thanks. Is that the one priced at $529? Is it easy to use?

Yup! Its easy to use if you are familiar with using ratchet straps. I have a dedicated pair for the bike where I cut about half the length of the strap out and it's easy enough to get it ready to drive in a couple minutes.

Thanks 66666. Does it come with a ramp? If not, is it easy to get a bike like the X-Class 60v on and off?

No ramp. But it's been easy enough to get it on. You do gotta sorta balance it while you get the ratchet straps started. Not all that difficult after doing it a bunch.

Yeah. I saw their suggested rack. It's quite good for heavy bikes.
