Hey there Ron; the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY64FR can indeed hold step-thru electric bikes without using any type of adapter bar. It has clamps that slide instead of hooks which is why it can do that. However, the # HLY64FR cannot be used on a travel trailer.

If you don't want to use an adapter bar the only option for a travel-trailer approved ebike rack that will work is the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # LGA77FR.

This will work with bikes up to 75 lbs each, and with tires between 2-3/4" and 4" wide.

Hi Kyle, I'm trying to understand these racks. Are you saying the HYL64FR ( hollywood RV Rider), can be used with e bikes ( step through), on a travel trailer if you use the adapter bar option only? I thought this rack attaches to the seat post or frame.? Is the swagman e-spec S94FR approved for travel trailers?, can it hold e bikes ( step through ), with the J hooks.? Which do you recommend? Thanks Ron

@Ron Sorry if I wasn't clear, the # HLY64FR cannot be used on a travel trailer whatsoever. What you can indeed use is the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S94FR. It is rated for use with a travel trailer, though the only way you can use it with a step-thru bike is via an adapter bar, the Swagman Bike Frame Adapter Bar # S57FR. This will fit stem posts and seat posts that have diameters up to 2 inches, and adjusts from 25-1/2" to 35". If your seat post and handlebar stem are a shorter distance, from 22-1/2" to 30", use # 64005.
