Best Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying Step Through Frame Bikes with Fenders
Question:
I want a platform rack that will hold a townie Electra men’s easy step thru as well as a Womens felt cafe bike with fenders. I have a 2 hitch. I would like the best available option with integrated locks and tilt functionality so I can open the suv back lift while bikes are on the rack. Thanks I assume I need a frame mount as I can’t use tires on the felt due to fenders. However the easy step in Electra doesn’t have the standard cross bar to mount. I do have an adapter I use to create the crossbar

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Thule EasyFold XT 2 Electric Bike Platform Rack # TH903202 that you referenced is the perfect solution. It is a platform rack that only grabs the bikes by the frame so your fenders will not interfere and the frame mounts were designed to attach to alternative framed bikes like what you mentioned too so your step through frame would not be an issue. Check out the attached picture to see just how well it grabs onto step through bike frames.
This also comes with a ramp to make bike loading/unloading very easy as well! Check out the review video link I attached for more info as well.
