I use a hitch-mounted bike carrier, but also need a bumper step. The solution for this is usually to put an extension on the hitch, which I didn't want to do because we have some very heavy e-bikes that we carry. After looking at a lot of bumper steps, I found the Shuksan Rear Hitch Step that will fit my needs. It has a cutout in the center for easier access to the hitch pin, and doesn't require a hitch extension. The owner of Shuksan, Kris, confirmed that he's a biker and he built this step for those of us that are hitch-mounted bike carrier people.
The step is solid steel, so it showed up in a very stout box, and cost about $70 to ship from Seattle to central California.

What hitch mounted rack do you recommend for 2 ebikes???
I use this one for my two Rad City Step-Through bikes: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B007JCGG0A/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_Qn5xFbG18X1QB
These two bikes are unusual because they are extra heavy, they do not have a crossbar, and they have fenders. Thus, after extensive research, this was the only carrier that I could find to fit my requirements.
