The best bike rack for bikes that have fenders and step through frames is the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT part # TH92BJ as this platform bike rack has the most flexible style of frame clamps to fit bikes with step through frames like what you have.

I attached a picture that shows this rack holding a bike with a step through frame like yours.

Yes, it does. The Hollywood Racks LED Light Bar item #HLY54RR is wired for a 4-way but comes with an adapter that will plug into a 7-way like yours to power the lights.

Aside from a slight change in the appearance of the crossbar (the WingBar Evo has some boxed edges as opposed to the completely smooth front of the AeroBlade) the biggest differences are the rubber strip on top of the crossbar and the weight…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
