Will The Swagman Dispatch Bike Rack Work For My 41lb E-bike
Question:
Would the Swagman Dispatch work for my ebikes? The length from center of front tire to center of the rear tire is 34 inches. The wheel is 14 inches in diameter and the top of frame is 22 inches. The bikes weigh 41 lbs each. If so some reason this wouldnt work based on the response, would it be returnable?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Swagman Dispatch Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # S44FR, will work with your ebike. This rack has adjustable wheel cradles to accommodate bikes with different sized wheel bases. I would recommend removing your ebike's battery during transport, for safety purposes. Doing this also has the unintended consequence of reducing the weight of the bikes you will be carrying. I cannot guarantee that you will be able to secure the frame with the racks padded hooks, due to your bikes unusual frame design. If that is the case, I recommend using the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes, part # HRBA-PRO, attaching it between the seat and the handlebar of your bike, and clamping this adapter bar instead of the frame.
I have included product description links and a video review link below.
