Bike Rack And Swing-Away Adapter for Winnebago Solis Pocket With E-Bike

Question:

HI. I am shopping for a hitch mount bike rack for my Winnebago Solis Pocket Promaster 1500 chassis. I need to carry one e-bike ~50 lbs and a standard bike. Both have tires that are approx. 2-3 wide. *Both have fenders.*. I have viewed the reviews on several of your products and it appears that the Rocky Mounts HighNoon will work best but I would like your input about whether there are other options to consider. I will also need a swing away hitch mount extender and wonder if the Kuat product will work with the Rocky Mounts rack. I like the Kuat because would like it to swing toward the drivers side.. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Bike Rack # RKY67RR is a good option but there can be limitations. If your fenders come down too far on the tire you still won't be able to mount it properly. I prefer the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY64FR.

This bike rack uses padded clamps so you can hold it by the frame or seat post meaning the size of the fenders won't matter. It also has a weight capacity of 80 lbs per bike so it can definitely handle your e-bike. The one downside is the weight of the carrier which is 63.5 lbs. The HighNoon is quite a bit lighter at 39 lbs.

Both of these can be used with the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches - Driver's Side # PVD20B.
