From the sounds of your question, it looks like you have a travel trailer. For a great travel-trailer approved bike rack, I recommend the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR. The E-Spec comes with a huge 70-pound per-bike weight capacity and accommodates wheel diameters between 20" - 29". In addition, the rack comes with a super long 10-1/2" shank (measured from the center of he pinhole to the closest part of the rack). With this length, it provides you a lot of room to clear the rear bumper of your RV. Since most Rad mini models have step-thru frames, you need a bike frame adapter bar # 64005 for each bike. This adapter creates a straight, horizontal plane that is required to attach your bikes to the ratcheting hooks of the E-Spec. If you happen to have a Rad Mini that has fat tires between 3 and 5 inches, you need the fat bike cradles # S64679 for each of those bikes.

Also, here at etrailer, we recommend transporting your e-bikes with the batter removed to maximum weight weight capacity of the rack and to protect your batteries from any unnecessary risks of damage.

If you need a hitch receiver for your trailer, I recommend the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703. Not only does this hitch come with a gloss coat over the powder coat to provide you with ultimate protection against rust and corrosion, it also comes with adjustable brackets to accommodate your frame. In order to make sure that this hitch works with your trailer, I recommend measuring your trailer's frame from left to right to ensure that it is between 22 and 72 inches wide.

The Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack part #S94FR can usually accommodate one step-through frame bike without needing an adapter by switching the small and long hook around but for two step-through frame bikes I do recommend as least one adapter, the Swagman…

Answer 6

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

Wheel-mount bike racks like the Thule T2 Pro XTR #TH83JV aren't the best options for bikes with fenders for exactly the reason you mentioned. The ratcheting hooks would come down on the fender instead of the wheel which won't provide a secure…
