Bike Cover for Hitch-Mounted Rack

I spent a lot of time looking for a high-quality bike cover for our hitch-mounted bike rack, and finally found the best one of all. It's the Formosa Bike Cover, made of heavy canvas & vinyl, and comes with 8 cinch straps and 2 giant bungees to eliminate any flapping in the wind. It's about 2x more expensive that its competitors, but in this case, you get what you pay for.

In the photos below, you can see that we have 2 RadCity e-bikes from Rad Power Bikes, and since they are the step-thru models, they require a platform rack. Our rack is the Rad-recommended Hollywood Sportrider Rack for e-Bikes. Of all the racks that I've tried, it is the most stable and shortest (closest to the vehicle) that I've seen.

One nice touch is that the Formosa offers a 'neck shroud' for the hitch itself, wrapped with a drawstring and velcro, for keeping out dust and road junk. The bikes emerge from their protective cocoon looking pristine.
