Hi guys need some advice. I'm looking to buy a bike rack for my car VW Polo 2012. I found a Peruzzo Firenze rack for two bikes that goes on the back of the car, their official website says that the max load for my car is 30kg (I think the spolier is the problem)?
The two bikes for transport are mentioned below, I don't know rhe exact weight for the bikes:
Cube stereo One77 pro 2022 size L (with tubes)
Trek Remedy 8 XT 2021 size L (tubeless)
Will I be fine with this rack, it's my first time considering bike transportation with my car, so I could use some advice. The transport journey would usually be around a couple of hours, so nothing major or too long.
Thaks in advance.

Imho…. those things are dangerous. I wouldn’t trust my regular bikes on one. The inherent flaw is that once bouncing down the road, the bouncing from bumps, humps, potholes, and
uneven pavement is a force multiplier. EBikes, even “light” ones are quite a bit of weight to be stressing the joints and potentially collapse.
Ask me how I know…..
Well…. I’ll tell you… I had a similar design that fatigued on the freeway with 1 regular mountain bike and damaged the car and narrowly avoided losing the bike. It was one bump too many even after I made sure everything was super tight.
