Bike Rack for Carrying e-Bikes on 5th Wheel

Question:

I have 2 Lectric step through bikes with 3 inch tires that I will be hauling behind an Alpine rv. Will this rack work and would I need an adapter for step through as with some other racks? Any other options that I should consider?

The Swagman e-spec bike rack you'd looked at, part # S94FR would be an outstanding choice for carrying 2 e-bikes weighing up to 70 lbs. You can lighten your bikes by 10 or so lbs each by removing the battery packs. The rack can accommodate bikes with tires up to 3 inches in width.

Before using the rack on the back of your fifth wheel, you'll want to defeat the folding feature by removing the folding pin and installing the supplied bolt, washers, and nut.

You will need to use an adapter bar for the step-thru frames. I'd recommend the # HRBA-PRO
