E-Bike Solution for Carrying Crown Cruiser E-Bike with Carbon Frame

Question:

Hello, In anticipation of receiving my Crown Cruiser E-bike, I came across your wonderful website. Your expert advice and product offering is amazing! I am pretty much set to outfit my 2009 G37X with the DrawTite hitch as suggested by Jameson C. I Am now looking for a bike rack that would accommodate this oddly shaped bike with 3inch tires. The Swagman only accommodates 2.5inch tires. Please explore the link below and let me know if I have to build my own rack: crowncruiser-carbon-fiber-e-bike Regards,

For an e-bike with a carbon frame and 3 inch wide tires the best bike rack option is the Thule Easyfold XT part # TH903202 with the carbon frame adapter part # TH984101 and the fat strap for the wider tires part # TH985101. This will work great on your Crown Cruiser E-bike. This has a ramp built into it to help make loading/unloading easier.

If you prefer a simpler solution the Saris Freedom Superclamp # SA4025F would work great too. It has wheel trays that can accommodate 4.5 inch wide tires and also has wheel clamps that can work with your small fenders so there would be no adapters needed. This is also a really lightweight rack as well.
