Can the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar Be Used w/ an E-bike on a Platform Style RV Rack
Question:
I have step thru ebikes weighing 70 lbs and a Hyperax RV hitch rack. Will this bar also work with the hooks that apply downward pressure that keeps the bikes in place? I know they’re rated at 35 lbs, but I won’t be suspending the bikes with this, so my thought is that doesn’t matter.

Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you but the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SA3040 will not work for your needs. According to the product manual for the # SA3040 it can not be used with hook style racks or on an RV rack.
I recommend the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO which actually has a weight capacity rating of 80 lbs. when used on a platform style rack.
