Yes, you can load women's and children's bikes on the Yakiam FullBack # Y02634. But any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.

Answer 1

You can carry a women's bike on the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack #Y02634 using a bike adapter bar like the #Y02531. This will allow the bike to sit level on the arms of the FullBack and attaches between the seat post and handlebar post.

This is a really good question, and honestly I would say it's borderline a design flaw or at least a feature of the Yakima Fullback 2 part #Y02634 that wasn't thought out all the way. If carrying a single bike with the Yakima Fullback…

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 #SH22G and the NV 2.0 #NV22G that you referenced are both excellent platform-style racks that will hold your bikes by the front wheels with no frame contact. These are top-of-the-line carriers and you really would not go wrong…

I have a solution for you. Here at Etrailer, we strongly discourage using wheel-mounted bike racks like the Kuat NV 2.0 #NV22B for bikes with fenders. Mounting wheels with fenders can cause the fenders to crack or become damaged, especially with the…

Hi Tracy, We can for sure get you a 3-bike rack for your ebike with a step-thru frame and two regular bikes. This is especially doable because your ebike is on the lighter side at just 40 lbs, and with that in mind what I recommend is a rack from…
