Will the RockyMounts Backstage fit Electric Bikes with Fenders?

Question:

Will this rack work if my two ebikes have fenders on them?

Generally, we don't recommend using wheel-mount carriers like the RockyMounts Backstage, part # RKY10002 with bikes that have fenders, as it can bend and damage the fender.

Instead, I'd recommend a frame mount like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE For Electric Bikes, part # HLY84FR. This rack has a capacity of 80 pounds per bike, which will give you an extra 20 pounds per bike on the rack. It also has a tilting system and has a hinged arm that lets you swing the rack 67 inches from the rear of your vehicle with your bikes still loaded, which allows for rear cargo access. The Sport Rider SE will fit the same 2 inch hitch as the Backstage # RKY10002.
