I recommend looking into the Swagman Current Bike Rack # S64678 for transporting your two Roamer electric fat bikes on your motorhome's 2" receiver. This bike rack fits tires up to 5" wide and secures the bike by the frame, making it compatible with bikes that have fenders or baskets. The weight capacity is 60lbs per bike and it looks like your bikes weigh about 61lbs with the battery. I recommend removing the battery pack so that each bike will be under the 60lb capacity.

Locks are included to deter theft of your bikes or bike rack. When not in use, the carrier's upright arm folds down for more clearance at the back of your motorhome. I attached a helpful demonstration video for you to check out.

Yes the Swagman Current part #S64678 can be used with step thru frame e-bikes. I attached a picture we go from a customer that shows it carrying an e-bike with a step thru frame and the hook used is the long hook.

The rack you need is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE #HLY74FR. This rack can hold up to 80 lbs unlike the Kuat NV 2.0 #NV22B which can only hold 60 lbs and that will not work for you if your bikes weigh 64 lbs WITHOUT the battery. Be sure to check…

Answer 5

We do have e-bike racks that have the capacity needed for your 70 lb bikes and can fit the 1-1/4 inch hitch size like you have with the Hollywood Racks E-Bike rack #HLY74FR but there won't be a way to add an e-bike rack to the cargo carrier you…

I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, we do not carry single bike racks that will accommodate the added torque when attached to the rear of an RV. However, we do carry a two-bike carrier that is made for electric bikes on RVs: the Swagman…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
