Can ProRide XT Fit on Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer for Trek Super Commuter e-Bike

Question:

Hi. I want to purchase a Yakima rack and roll trailer to haul my trike and ebike. The strike is am Evelo Compass which has a step-through frame. My ebike is a Trek super commuter 8 which has a traditional style frame with top. Both bikes have front fenders so I think I need a rack like the Thule ProRide XT rack to hold the front of both bikes to the trailer. The trike obviously has 2 rear wheels that need to be attached to the trailer. Is a solution for attaching the rear wheels to the trailer? Thanks

Adding the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004 to the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106 is a great option for your Trek Super Commuter but you'll want to make sure you remove the battery since this rack is only able to handle a 44 lb bike.

When it comes to the trike the only roof rack option we have is the SeaSucker Trike Rack # 298-BD1005 but it's designed for a bare roof on top of a vehicle so it won't work with the Rack and Roll. Unfortunately we don't currently (August 2022) have a solution for the trike part of your setup but you might be able to find something elsewhere that's able to complete your setup.
