Was wondering if anyone could recommend a lightweight easily removable bike rack for 2023 Mach E. Would also like one that allows trunk access.

I am trying this one, but unfortunately have not tested it yet. Planning on using it early August, so I can let you know how it works then, but you probably want to buy one sooner. The price is good, and the reviews are pretty good as well. Some note it is too "loose" which is a problem I have had with every tow hitch bike rack I have ever had (two previous ones). Secure and safe is what I will typically look for, and I like the tire mounts down low (versus hanging the bike from the top frame). Also lighter weight vs my prior bike racks.

Good luck!

Did you try searching the Forum? There were lots of threads on this a few years ago.

Take a look at the Küat NV 2.0.
Well-made and it has an adjustment to greatly reduce the "looseness" issue.

Love the Kuat, but it's not exactly light-weight. We use ours to haul two 60-pound ebikes. The snug-up knob takes out the wobble very well. Great rack but a little pricey.

Yes, I didn't want to pay full retail for a new one either. I found this one on Craigslist for $500.

Here's a snap.

Looks great, and good it is adjustable for looseness, but at that price, it should come with the bike also! Sorry, I am just cheap, and I am sure serious bikers are willing to spend almost $1,000 for a good bike rack. I just can't justify it for our $600 bikes.

Just my 2 cents and I am very cheap. Saved up for 5 years to afford the MachE.
