Expert Reply:
The Kuat NV Base 2.0 # BA22B is not recommended for bikes with front fenders because it is designed to clamp down tight on the wheel that can deform a fender. I recommend instead using a bike rack that holds the bike frame like the Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # TH903202. This is a great option for bikes with fenders and I've attached a video review to assist.
