Hitch Bike Rack That Allows An Electric Fat Bike To Be Hauled On A Jeep And A Winnebago Motorhome

Question:

I have a Jeep Wrangler and a Winnebago 22R small 22Ftmotorhome. I would like to carry ONE 1 Electric Fat Tire bike, wheel mount, and use one rack for both vehicles. On the Motorhome and towing the Jeep and then on the Jeep when I am parked. Both the Yamaha and Kuat single wheel mount show and X for motorhome. With that what would you recommend I use. Big Thanks in advance.

I know exactly what you need in order to haul your electric fat tire bike on your Winnebago motorhome and on the back of your 2018 Jeep Wrangler. You will need a bike rack that is compatible with motorhomes AND flat-towing. There are not any 1-bike carriers that will meet your needs so you will need to go with a 2-bike carrier.

I recommend looking into the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # S94FR. This bike rack has a weight capacity of 70lbs and can hold up to 3" wide tires, so it will be suitable for your electric fat bike. If your bike happens to have tires that are wider than 3" then you will need to add Fat Tire Kit # S64679 which can hold up to 5" wide tires. Also, some oddly-shaped bike frames (step-thru, women's, children's etc.) require Adapter Bar # S57FR which will allow any bike to be tightly secured to the Swagman E-spec no matter the frame design.

If you don't have a trailer hitch receiver on your Jeep then you will want to go with Draw-Tite # DT78MR which has a max tongue weight of 675lbs and max towing capacity of 4,500lbs. This is 2" and will work well with the the Swagman E-spec bike rack. I have attached demonstration videos for these products.
