Hi Wayne,
With the weight of your bikes, quantity of bikes, and because they have fenders the Thule Epos Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # TH69XE is going to be the only option. It has the capacity for the weight and quantity of bikes and is the only frame mount option that we currently offer within these requirements. This rack can tilt down to allow access to the rear hatch and fold up to decrease your overall length with the rack installed. If loading the ebikes is challenging you can use Thule's loading ramp # TH933402.

Kevin, thanks for the quick response. I agree the Thule Epos for 3 is a great option. My biggest concern with that rack is that I have to remove after each use. I generally like to keep my bike rack on my SUV from May until October as I travel to various trails in the Northeast. So removing each week and storing it is a bit of a hassle. It's amazing the Bike rack manufacturers haven't figured out that this is an issue and step in with a design that does everything the Thule Epos does and but allows for it to be folded up on the vehicle. thanks again, Wayne E.
