I do have an option for you but in order to carry a carbon fiber frame bike you'll need a wheel mount style rack as you cannot use a frame mount style rack on a bike with carbon fiber frame. The best RV rated option we have for this is the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes part # KU84FR which has a 60 lb per bike weight capacity so it will also work with e-bikes as well.

Please note, you won't be able to use a bike with fenders on the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack.
