The Sunlite HRT-230 Sport Tray hitch rack is built to carry heavier bicycles including fat bikes and e-bikes. With a total carrying capacity of 200 lbs, it is designed for riders transporting modern electric bikes or wide-tire mountain bikes.
This tray-style rack supports bicycles with 20–29 inch wheels and tires up to 5 inches wide. A loading ramp makes it easier to roll heavier bikes into place instead of lifting them.

Fit & Use Signals
-

-
Good Fit: You want a ramp-assisted loading system.
-

Not A Fit: Your bike wheelbase exceeds 50".
This rack sells well for e-bike customers because of the ramp. Lifting a 70 lb bike onto a rack is hard for many riders. Always check combined bike weight. Two heavy e-bikes can push limits. Wheelbase limit (50") matters for long wheelbase bikes and some cargo bikes. Confirm vehicle hitch rating. Hitch capacity must include rack weight plus bikes. Tray racks are usually more stable than hanging racks for fat bikes.
