Recommended Bike Rack For 78 lb E-Bike With 52-1/2 Inch Wheelbase
Question:
Was wondering I have a e bike weights 78 lbs. and has a 52-1/2 inch wheelbase. The bike has fenders. Would this carrier work for my e bike? Cant find long enough bike carrier.

You could use the # UF48-979033 to carry your ebike, as its 80 inch length would easily handle the wheelbase of your bike. This being said, you'll only be able to carry a single bike if you go that route. To secure the bike to the carrier, you'd need some ratchet straps like # EM05710.
If you wanted to go with a bike rack that's specifically designed to carry bikes, I'd recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE, part # HLY74FR. The rack is designed to handle 2 bikes up to 80 lbs apiece with wheelbases up to 60 inches. The rack holds the bikes by the bottom of the tires and by the frame top tube, so the fact that your bikes have fenders won't interfere with the fit. The rack features integrated locks to secure the bikes to the rack and a locking hitch pin that locks the rack to the vehicle. The rack also features an anti rattle knob that keeps the rack from moving around in the hitch.
