I have a really great bike rack solution for you, but the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR can only fit bike tires that are up to 3 inches in width.

So instead, I recommend the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # LGA77FR. This is fifth wheel approved like you need, has higher weight capacities need for e-bikes of 75 pounds per bike. It has wheel hoops that were designed for fat bikes that will accommodate tires up to 4.5" so that will also work for you. I attached a video of this rack for you to learn more.

The Swagman bike cover # S82006 would do an excellent job on the Hollywood Rack RV Rider # HR1655! It was designed for use at the back of a fifth wheel like what you have as well. I attached a review video for more info also.

Hey Dave, so the best option for carrying your carbon frame bike and e-bike is the Swagman Escapee part #S39SR with the ramp #S59SR . It has the capacity for carrying an e-bike, is rated for travel trailer use, only touches the bikes by the tires…

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…

Yes, you can install a Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C11433 on your 2019 Chevrolet Spark. This receiver is capable of supporting up to 200lbs of tongue weight. With each of the Lectric 3.0 e-bikes weighing roughly 60lbs without the battery you will…

As long as the flat tow wiring is wired in before the 4-Way #C93ZV and you connect the power for the converter directly to the battery it will work. I have seen several use Magnetic Lights #TL21RK which they will wire in on the main harness to have…

At the rear of a trailer or RV the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the…

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…

Answer 11

In order to use a hitch-mounted bike rack like the Swagman Original #S64152-2 that you were looking at while towing a vehicle, you will just need to add the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter #RM-077-4. This adapter will slide into the 2 inch…

You should not need an extension for the Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack #HLY66ZR to fit on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport. We installed this on a 2021 2-door Wrangler which I have included the install video linked near the bottom of…
