Recommended Truck Bed Bike Rack for Rad Power RadRover E-Bikes

Question:

Can you tell me if this rack will 1 support the fork mounting of the Rad Power Radrover e-bike 9mm fork and 2 the weight of 2 of these bikes. The rack will be mounted in the bed of a 2011 Toyota Tundra. Thanks!

In order to carry two Rad Power RadRover E-Bikes in a truck bed, I recommend going with the Topline 2 Bike Carrier Truck Bed Mounted Expandable Bike Rack part # UG2500 because it does not suspend the bikes therefore heavy e-bike won't be an issue, it has locks for security, and you can add to it if needed to carry more bikes. The only potential issue is if you have the version with step-through frame in which case you'd also need the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # 64005.

Please note, if you have a Toyota Tundra/Tacoma with Deck Rail System or Nissan Titan with Utili-Track System then you will need to use a different option, the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack part # TH824PRO.

The Swagman Pick-Up Truck-Bed-Mounted 2 Bike Carrier part # S64702 won't work with e-bikes because of the bike weight capacity.
