Can I Use My 2 Aventon Adventure Lectric Step-Thru E-Bikes With the Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR?
Question:
Thank you for the information. I measured and I have less than 5” to clear the bumper on my Ford F-150. I would love to get the Thule Easyfold XT. Could this rack work for me or do I need to stay with the Sport Rider SE?

From the sounds of your question, I assume you are talking about the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR. If this is the rack you are referring to, yes! It works with 20" diameter tires as long as you have the adapter # HLY24FR for each bike. This adapter does not come with the rack itself.
This rack is a great choice because it has a super high 80 pound per bike weight capacity. It also accommodates fat bike tires up to 5 inches wide (if you have them). As far as your step-thru model Aventon Adventure Lectric step-thru models, you do need bike frame adapter bar # 64005 for each bike. The adapter provides a straight, horizontal plane for attaching your bikes to the arms of the Sport Rider SE.
One thing you need to note is that the distance from the center of the pinhole of the rack to the closest part of the rack when folded up is 5 inches long. In order to make sure that this distance can clear your rear bumper, I recommend measuring the center of your hitch's pinhole to the outside face of the rear bumper. As long as that length is less than 5 inches long, you are good to go!
If you happen to need more shank length, you can add length by using a hitch extender like the Curt Hitch Extender - 8" # C45791. When using any type of hitch extender, you decrease the overall weight capacity of the hitch by 50%.
Feel free to respond to this answer with the year/make/model of your vehicle and I can recommend a great hitch for you if you need one.
