Thoughts (from your experience) for someone that is 6'2" on the step-thru?

I only have the step thru. I am 6' and 255lbs.
I have severe arthritis and neuropathy in my legs. I can't lift my leg high enough for the crossbar type. Get the comfort package, for sure.
The cranks are lower by 2" on the step through. Handling is truly amazing by my standards. You can raise the seat very high. and the bars. I don't think you can go wrong with the step thru if you just want a smooth nimble bike. It hauls ass.

We used to use a Thule T2 for our e bikes. It's rated for two 60 lb bikes. It worked well for a hitch mounted bike rack.

I recently switched to Yakima racks mounted over my truck bed if that's an option for you.

We use the 1Up Rack for our two ebikes.
