I have a solution for you, but the Yakima HangOver 6 Bike Rack for Mountain Bikes # Y02485 is specifically for mountain bikes that have suspension forks, and it does not look like your Trek Verve 2 has the necessary suspension forks. I would look into the Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5 Bike Carrier # HR520 which is a 5 bike carrier that secures the bikes by the frame. On oddly-shaped bike frames like your Trek Verve 2 Women's bike you will want to use Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO; this will be sure to secure any bike tightly to the Hollywood Rack Bike Carrier no matter what type of frame the bike has.

If you need a 6th bike on your vehicle then I would look into a roof-mounted bike rack such as Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount # Y02103. This bike rack clamps onto a roof rack; if you do not have a roof rack then feel free to provide your vehicle's year, make, and model and I will find a roof rack for the Yakima FrontLoader to attach to. I have included a few demonstration videos for you to check out.

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 #SH22G and the NV 2.0 #NV22G that you referenced are both excellent platform-style racks that will hold your bikes by the front wheels with no frame contact. These are top-of-the-line carriers and you really would not go wrong…

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

Yes, it does. The Hollywood Racks LED Light Bar item #HLY54RR is wired for a 4-way but comes with an adapter that will plug into a 7-way like yours to power the lights.

I can help you choose between the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 and Kuat Transfer V2, as both are really nice bike racks. Let me start off, since you mentioned 3-bike rack, if that's what you were after you would need the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 3 Bikes…

Answer 12

Either the Kuat Tranfer 1 #KU64FR or the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo 1 #RKY10007 would handle the bikes you describe easily. Both would hold the bikes by the tires, so the fact that the rack won't come into contact with the frame will work well…
