Recommended Bike Rack for 2 Aventon Aventure Step-Through E-Bikes

Question:

I have 2 Aventon Aventure 4 inch fat tire ebikes. Step through frames and fenders. The bikes weigh 65lbs with battery removed. Im willing to take the risk if a rack 60 lb. weight limit otherwise works. Im looking for a rack 2 inch hitch with a ramp that will accommodate the 4 inch tires with fenders. I understand I will have to probably buy a top tube adaptor, fat tire kits and maybe a ramp separately. Ive looked at the Thule Easyfold, Yakima Onramp, and various Kuats. None seem to meet all the requirements. Any ideas? Im all out of them!! Thanks in advance.

For your two Aventon Aventure fat tire ebikes, I recommend the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack item # Y36FR as it will meet all your requirements. The maximum weight capacity is 66 lbs per bike, it has a 2" hitch for connection to your 2" receiver.

The loading ramp is included and can be stored on the rack itself during use. While it is a little more difficult to load the wider tire bikes since the ramp is narrow you can still use it. You can secure your bikes in place by the seat posts since you do not have a traditional frame to mount the bikes in place.

You will need their Fat Tire Straps item # Y23FR to fit the 26" x 4" wheels of both your Aventon Adventure bikes.

I have linked a video review below of this rack along with a picture so you can see it in action.
