Question:

Electric bike rack compatible with e2 system and travel trailer

Expert Reply:

With a Fastway e2 weight distribution system like # FA92-00-0800, the possibility of using a hitch adapter or ball mount with hitch added like # D210 isn't an option. Depending on the bracket locations of your e2, you may be able to use the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100 lbs # CC-275. This would give you an alternative hitch location for your bike rack, but will limit the weight allowed which will cause a problem with an electric bike.

So, I recommend instead considering the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703 and then adding an RV approved bike rack. This too will limit your bike weight, but the Swagman E-Spec 2-Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # S94FR is able to carry 2 bikes up to 60 lbs each which will be able to carry an e-bike. This will be your safest combination.

Let me know if you have further questions.
