Could it be balance? Maybe one bike is heavy at one end, that would make a big difference in how it feels to try to pick it up. Try to pick up your bike from the handlebars instead of the cross bar. It'll seem a lot heavier until you get it high enough for the rear wheel to swing under and balance the weight....
