Recommended Bike Rack and Adapter Bar for Two Cannondale Adventure E-Bikes

Question:

I want to make sure that the: Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2inch Hitches - Frame Mount - Item # S94FR is the correct rack for the 2 ebikes I have, and if I need additional frame bars to securely attach the bikes to the rack. I have a Cannondale Adventure Neo 3 step through48inch wheel base, 25inch handlebar stem to seat post, and a Cannondale Adventure Neo Allroads step through47inch wheel base, 23inch handlebar stem to seat post. Thanks

Those are nice bikes and you will definitely need an adapter bar with that deep of a step thru frame. You will want to use two of the Swagman Bike Frame Adapter Bar item # 64005. You can disregard the 35 lbs weight limit. Your e-bikes will just be held in place by the bar, so you won't be putting all the weight on the adapter bar like you would if this was a hanging rack. They fit bikes with a 22-1/2" - 30" gap between the handle bars and seat posts.

The Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # S94FR will work great with your two Cannondale Adventure Step Thru's. It has a 70 lbs capacity per bike and fits tires up to 3" wide.
