Solution for Replacing Bike Rack to Carry Fat E-Bikes
Question:
I bought a SportWorks Bike rack when it was new its old now but like new in early 2000s and kept it through several relocations. Is there a way to update it to carry new electric bikes with 3inch tires? Front and back. It has a tube for front and a V L-Bar for rear. Please let me know if there is a way to update as I have the new bikes on the way. Otherwise i need to buy a new rack.

We don't have a fat tire bike adapter that would fit your rack since we don't carry that brand. Only solution we'd be able to help with is with a new bike rack that is fat tire compatible. I don't believe SportWorks has a fat tire adapter for that rack and most likely your rack does not have the weight capacity for the much heavier e-bikes.
For a bike rack we have the Swagman Current part # S64678 which fits 5 inch wide tires and has a 60 lb weight capacity.
