Is Thule T2 Pro TH83JV Bike Rack Compatible with Electric Bikes Equipped with Fenders

Question:

Will the Thule T2 Pro work with an e-bike that has a front shock and fender? Im including a photo.

Since the bike retention hooks on the Thule T2 Pro, part # TH83JV hold the tire at the forks, the fender would interfere, which is why racks of this type that hold the bike by the tire aren't recommended for bikes with fenders.

This being said, we do have a solution. I'd recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE, part # HLY84FR. The rack has an 80 lb/bike capacity, and holds the bikes by the wheels at the bottom and by the frame top tube so it'll work perfectly for bikes with fenders. The rack includes locks for the frame hooks, a locking hitch pin and a cable lock. The rack can also tilt rearward with the bikes in place for easy vehicle cargo area access.
