E-Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying Two Jetson E-Bikes

Question

Question:

I have two Jetson ebikes with 14 inch tires. I saw a previous question answered with the SA4414B rack, but this rack shows not for motor home. Do you have a better solution?

For an RV approved e-bike rack the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR would be what you'd need. Since you have the smaller diameter wheels you'd also need the small wheel hoop adapter part # HLY24FR and you'd be set. This setup would work great with your Jetson e-bikes.
