Compatibility of E-bike Platform Rack with The Gateway by Monday Motorbikes
Question:
Hi, could you please take a look at this ebike frame link at end and tell me if you see a way this Swagman rack could accommodate a pair of them? I dont understand how the hooks will hold down the frame. Thank you. the-gateway-by-monday-motorbikes

The Gateway by Monday Motorbikes has 4 inch wide tires but I can't find information on the overall weight. I see the battery is 13 lbs, and I recommend removing that for transporting if that gets you within the rack parameters.
The Swagman Current 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # S64678 you asked about is rated for up to 60 lbs per bike so it very well could work depending on the Gateway's weight. We have one rack that is rated higher in the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR. This is rated for up to 80 lbs per bike.
With hooks like you pointed out, you would need to use a bike adapter bar between the round part of the seat post frame and the handlebars for the hook to latch onto. I recommend Swagman # 64005 and have linked a video to assist.
