- Best Bike Racks for Biria Electric Folding Bikes With Fat Tires
- It's definitely a good idea to transport your Biria Electric Folding bikes on a bike rack and we do have a couple of really good options which will allow you to carry two of these bikes, which from my research are 55 lbs and like you said, do have tires which are 4 inches wide. Since these bikes have fenders you will need a frame-mounted bike rack and there are two options to choose from.
The best bike rack for your Biria Electric Folding bikes is the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 because...

- Depending on the exact weight and dimensions of your folding e-bike and folding e-trike the 29x49 Cargo Carrier # FHG69ZR may be your best option. This has a tray 29" by 49" with a 60" ramp to make loading easier. It is rated for up to 500lbs and will fit in a 2" receiver. If this is not large enough for your bike and trike when folded you will most likely need a small Trailer # K2MMT4X6. We do not have any bike racks capable of supporting the weight of nearly 100lbs of your average folding...

view full answer... - Why Can't Folding Bike Racks be Used with the RV Bumper # S64025
- In order for a bike rack to be rated for the rougher ride associated with the back of an RV (like what the # S64025 would install on), it has to be reinforced appropriately and folding mechanisms are known for being a weak point on bike racks. So the reason for that requirement of the hitch is because of how the hitch will normally be used.
If you have a folding bike rack currently most likely it is not rated for use behind an RV. Because of that I would recommend you go with one like...

- There are some potential problems with loading a folding tandem bike onto a trunk mount bike rack. First, the bike would have to weight 35 pounds or less. Second, you would have to use an adapter bar like # TH982XT, between the seat posts. The distance between the seat posts could not be more than 31-1/2 inches for the adapter to fit.
If the adapter does fit then the center of gravity will be off a little, but not so much as to cause concern. The wheel folded in may interfere with you...
view full answer... - Best Bike Rack to Carry Folding Bikes
- Folding bikes typically have pretty small wheels and also frames that have lower crosstubes so for a bike rack I recommend a platform rack that attaches by the grabbing the tire like the Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH83JV for a 2 inch hitch or part # TH23JV for a 1-1/4 inch hitch. This will give you the securest, easiest to use, and overall best bike rack solution for your folding bikes.

view full answer... - How Much Clearance do I Need to Put a Folding Bike Rack On my 1995 Jeep Wrangler
- In order to determine how much distance you would need to be able to fit a folding bike or cargo rack on the back of your Wrangler you would need to measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on your receiver hitch to the furthest point of your spare tire. That distance would be how much distance you would need for clearance to install a folding bike or cargo rack on your 1995 Jeep Wrangler.
If you email me back with that measurement I could come up with a folding bike...

- For your fat tire RavRover bike, I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202.

With the ramp, you will not have to lift the bike off the ground to secure to your vehicle. Also, since the EasyFold XT secures your bikes by the frame, you will not have to worry about extra cracking or damage to your bike's fenders....

- I see that the tires on your Giant folding bikes are 20 x 1.5" this means while they are on the smaller side they will fit in a majority of racks. The lower frames height will be an issue but with a frame hold style we can get rid of that issue. One of my favorites that you had asked about is the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack part # S64670 very simple and easy to use.

- The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes, # TH903202 is a great bike rack and one that I recommend often.

- The Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # TH903202 is the only bike rack that has the ramp. It doesn't fold flat to the vehicle because it is designed more like a suitcase that allows you to easily wheel the rack to your hitch receiver for installation. It will work well on your 2019 Toyota RAV4.
If you want a different bike rack then you won't have the ramp but the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR will work well with your RAD step...

view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for Heavy E-Bikes
- For a bike rack designed for electric bikes that can also fold up (in a way) and does not clamp down on the tires the best option is the Thule EasyFold # TH903202.
The issue is that because E-bikes are so heavy it is not a good idea to have a rack that has too many points of movement (like folding features) because those introduce points of weakness where a rack could fail.

- Before you return your Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202, I recommend checking out the Extra-Long Loading Ramp for Thule EasyFold Carriers # TH933402 which provides you with a 53" long ramp, as opposed to the 36" long ramp that comes included with the EasyFold platform racks. This longer run-way should provide you with a much easier solution for getting your bike up onto the platform of the EasyFold rack.

- I assume your Stromer bike is an e-bike and for a folding bike in addition, I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Tilting - Gunmetal Gray # NV22G or # NV12G for 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers. Because your folding bike has a 20 inch wheel, I also recommend an adapter. This rack will hold your bikes securely by the wheels and won't have any frame contact. A unique feature of this rack is the integrated bike stand for repairs if needed.
