Hey Allan, there isn't a single bike rack that would cover everything you need unfortunately so you'd have to look into a different option. Like maybe a hitch bike rack for the e-bikes like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202. And then a roof bike rack for the rest of the bikes like with the part # RRRBC050.

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

Yes, I have listed for your below the roof rack systems from Rhino-Rack, Thule, and Yakima that will fit the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Covers like part #RTT-80243 for your 2019 Ram 1500. Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System part #RRVA180B-RRRLT600…

Yakima's Skyline towers part #Y53TR can fit the tracks of the Retrax XR that you have with the landing pad 1 part #Y00221 but there isn't a way with the Baseline towers. Your Yakima Corebar or Jetstream bars will work with the Skyline towers…

According to Rhino Rack, if you were to go with the shorter bars, you'll only have 1-1/4 inch of leeway on each side which isn't enough in their opinion. I'd recommend going with the 71 inch bars so you'll be certain of a good fit. As…

Yes, you can install a Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C11433 on your 2019 Chevrolet Spark. This receiver is capable of supporting up to 200lbs of tongue weight. With each of the Lectric 3.0 e-bikes weighing roughly 60lbs without the battery you will…

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

Hey Dave, so the best option for carrying your carbon frame bike and e-bike is the Swagman Escapee part #S39SR with the ramp #S59SR . It has the capacity for carrying an e-bike, is rated for travel trailer use, only touches the bikes by the tires…

Answer 9

The Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes #Y88DJ you were looking at would actually be perfect. It looks like the Lectric 3.0 tops out at 64 lbs so the rack can handle the weight. It also uses padded clamps to hold it by the frame or seat…

Hello Ronnie, thanks for your question. You can use the Fat Bike Straps #TH985101 with the Thule Epos Bike Rack #TH99XE. Technically these straps are made for the Thule EasyFold XT bike rack, but we have double checked with the folks at Thule and…

You're in luck! There's no need for a 2" hitch if you want to carry two ebikes! I really like the Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack #TH903202 for ebikes because it makes loading and unloading ebikes easier. It works with both a…
