Bottom line
Young Electric’s SOLE R and MATE R are platform hitch racks for 2” receivers. They hold one or two 100lb bikes, respectively. Both accommodate 5” tires and 50” wheelbases. Pivoting support arms make this rack suitable for a variety of frame shapes, and the included ramp makes it easy to load heavy e-bikes. Owners and testers praise the sturdy build. However, the lack of a hitch pin lock, need for additional tools, and low-quality rear wheel straps disappoint. Nevertheless, low pricing and versatility earn these racks high marks from owners and experts.Expert Reviews
