How to Carry and Electric Bike With Fenders on 2009 Honda Accord

Question:

I have a magnum pathfinder e-bike with 20 fat tire and front and rear fenders. My car is a 2009 Honda accord and I have a 1.25 hitch. What is the best bike carrier that I can use. Thank you

The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 is a great option for carrying your Magnum Pathfinder E-Bike on your 2009 Honda Accord. It has a frame mount clamp design that makes it easier to carry bikes with a step-through design. This also helps with mounting your bike since it has fenders.

The generous weight capacity of 65 lbs per bike is more than enough to carry your bike. I would recommend removing your bikes battery during transport. It will save some stress on the battery but also some weight when loading and unloading. When it comes to loading it also has an included ramp to make it easier to get your bike on and off of your rack. The rack accommodates tire widths up to 3" which right at your tire width. It also comes with longer straps to fit tires up to 4-11/16" wide.

This bike rack also works with the 1-1/4" trailer hitch on your Accord. Being able to carry a wide range of bikes regardless of weight or design paired with the ease of use makes this one of the best bike racks available for electric bikes. I attached a video that shows you how easy this rack is to use.
