Bike Rack Options and Recommendation for Carrying E-Bikes

Question:

Will the SE handle a step through e-bike, such as the Kalkhoff Agattu 7HS? If not, would you recommend another hitch type rack that would work for 2 e-bikes, one with a top tube the Kalkhoff Agattu 8HS and one that is a step-through the Kalkhoff Agattu 7HS? Thank you!

For electric bikes we have a couple options. The Hollywood Rack part # HLY84FR is a great choice that is reinforced for the heavier e-bikes.

The best option though is the Thule Easy Fold Bike rack part # TH903202. This bike rack is also designed for e-bikes but it has a ramp built into it to make loading the bikes a bit easier.

I attached review videos for both racks for you to check out as well.

As long as there is a top tube on the bike either rack will be able to work with a step through style bike frame. It will just be a matter of adjusting the arms of the rack lower to grab the frame.
