Would Hollywood Rack E-Bike Rack Allow Mercedes Sprinter Doors to Open
Question:
I have a rad mini ebike. fat tires are 4x20, total length is 63, wheelbase is 43. I think the HLY84FR would work. my only concern is will I be able to open the swing doors on my MB Sprinter 2500? It has a rear tire mounted. I have the tow hitch extender to navigate pass the tire, but sill want to know if I will be able to swing open the rear doors with this rack mounted. thanks!

Expert Reply:
Since the doors above the hitch are a decent distance away from each other the Hollywood Rack Bike Rack part # HLY84FR would allow it to open if the rack was folded down, but if the rack was loaded I can't see there being enough clearance.
I attached a picture a customer sent in that shows a different rack that had to be tilted down to allow the door to open.
