Recommended Bike Carrier for Fat Tire E-Bikes
Question:
I need to carry my two electric fat tire bikes. Will the Swagman Escape be a good choice? Looking for recommendations.

Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you, but the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR is not designed to carry bikes with fat tires. The best solution for carrying heavy e-bikes with fat tires is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY74FR, which can handle tires up to 5" wide and bikes that weigh up to 80-lbs each. This rack will fit in either 1-1/4" or 2" hitch receivers and comes with a locking hitch pin to keep the rack attached to your vehicle, plus locking clamps to secure the bikes.
If you'll be carrying any bikes with aggressive step-through frames, you will need a bike frame adapter bar like the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005 to secure them.
