Yakima confirms that their HangOut 3 # Y02638 is compatible with your 2003 Mustang GT Convertible w/ spoiler. It has a capacity of 3 bikes. It has a weight capacity of 90 lbs and an arm separation of 12-1/2 inches.

I'd recommend a security strap like # Y02623 to secure your rack to your vehicle. I'd also suggest an adapter bar like the Yakima Tube Top, # Y02531 to allow you to carry bikes level by creating a straight top tube for step-through style frame bikes.

Hi Tracy, We can for sure get you a 3-bike rack for your ebike with a step-thru frame and two regular bikes. This is especially doable because your ebike is on the lighter side at just 40 lbs, and with that in mind what I recommend is a rack from…
