Swagman Current 2 Electric Bikes Rack Review - 2020 Ford Escape Video

Yes the Swagman Current part #S64678 can be used with step thru frame e-bikes. I attached a picture we go from a customer that shows it carrying an e-bike with a step thru frame and the hook used is the long hook.

The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 #SH22G that you referenced would be an excellent choice for you as it uses wheel mounts to attach your bike so which means your carbon frame won't be touched at all when carrying. This rack can also tilt away when loaded…

What I recommend is a platform style bike rack that can convert back and forth from a 2-bike rack to a 4-bike rack such as the Kuat NV 2.0 #NV22G-NA22G. With the carbon road bike you will probably want to avoid racks that make contact with the…

Actually, you wouldn't need a locking anti-rattle hitch pin with the Kuat NV 2.0 #NV22G. The rack already includes a locking hitch pin along with an integrated anti-rattle system. To tighten up the hitch/bike connection, simply tighten up…

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…

A 4-Way trailer connector has the basic lighting functions only; running lights, left turn signal and brake lights, right turn signal and brake lights, and ground. A 7-Way has these functions and a 12 volt circuit, a circuit for electric trailer…

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

To add a class III hitch to your 2024 Honda CR-V hybrid, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item #C13397. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your CR-V with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. I really like this…
