The Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 can only be used on passenger vehicles. For a 2 bike rack for electric bikes that is compatible with your 2021 Georgetown 7 Series GT7 I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR. This bike rack is rated for motorhome use and can handle up to 80 lbs per bike.

Unfortunately, there are no options with a ramp like the Thule for your motorhome. However, if loading and unloading is a big concern we do have the Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR. This is a powered bike rack that will allow you to roll your bikes onto the trays when lowered. It will require a 7-way that could be added with the # ETBC7 if you only have a 4-way, and can handle up to 60 lbs per bike.

I have attached some review videos below for your reference.

As long as the flat tow wiring is wired in before the 4-Way #C93ZV and you connect the power for the converter directly to the battery it will work. I have seen several use Magnetic Lights #TL21RK which they will wire in on the main harness to have…
