RockyMounts GigaWatt
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line
The RockyMounts GigaWatt is a platform hitch rack for 2” hitch receivers. It supports two 80lb e-bikes and is compatible with 20” to 29” wheels, 34” to 55” wheelbases, and tires up to 4.5”. Weight capacity per bike decreases when used on RVs and fifth-wheel trailers. RockyMounts provides a loading ramp and an above-average chain lock with this rack. In the sole expert review, the tester says the GigaWatt feels solid and that bikes are stable when loaded. The rack tilts, but the mechanism is challenging to operate. Overall, the versatile GigaWatt seems a good option for transporting e-bikes.Expert Reviews
