If your Best Electric Bike has been heavily customized, then the Bike Rack for Electric Bikes of your dreams is something that handles a wide range of bike types. The INNO NH120, for example, does just that. And don’t worry about having a 1.25 or 2-inch receiver; it comes bundled with a 2-inch adapter if your receiver is smaller.
Why We Like It – Inno NH120
The INNO NH120 offers quite a comprehensive package, thanks to its ability to handle a large variety of bikes, two-bike carrying capacity, 120 lbs load capacity, and compatibility with both 1.25 and 2-inch hitch receivers.

Durability & Build Quality
At first glance, it might not be easy to get the make of the INNO NH120. This is because it’s a blend of metal and plastic, with most of the plastic being used on the wheel holders. Despite using a small percentage of plastic, it has a 120 lbs load capacity. However, there will be a bit of wobble—especially with heavier bikes, so a wedge should be considered. The Thule T2 Pro XT has slightly more with a 130 lbs load capacity. If you are worried about the frame of your bike getting broken while on transit, the Saris MTR doesn’t allow frame contact, it also has an optional bike add-on that expands capacity to four bikes and has a complete security lock.
Performance
Handling two bikes at once is another reason the INNO NH120 can compete with premium bike racks, like the Thule EasyFold XT 2. It’s compatible with all frame types—including carbon frames. It has a no-contact design to ensure carbon frames won’t bump while you’re driving. Wheels can be as small as 20-inches or as large as 29-inches, though it’s limited to 3-inch wide tires.
Range & Battery
The INNO NH120 doesn’t have any battery-related features nor a battery of its own. It won’t charge your e-bike, so charge beforehand. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a bike rack that does. As a side note: remove any batteries from e-bikes before hauling.
Safety Features
There are two major features the INNO NH120 banks on for its safety: a locking cable and wheel holders. The wheel holder is molded to fit your wheels, something you didn’t think you’d need until you see it in action. And the locking cable is thick, providing enough length to wrap around the bike and hitch.
Value
The INNO NH120 is in a unique position. On the one hand, it’s affordable and competitive, but not dirt cheap. On the other hand, its versatility and performance are very high for the price you pay. INNO was even kind enough to bundle a 2-inch hitch receiver if you prefer over a 1.25-inch receiver, whereas the Hollywood Sport Rider can’t be used with a hitch adapter.
Inno NH120 Wrap Up
If you were looking for an affordable yet strong bike rack, the INNO NH120 should be one of your top choices. It’s strong, designed well enough with a competitive load capacity, and great versatility with bike styles. You’re even given a hitch receiver inside.
