Question:
would like to use this rack for 2 Ebikes. the battery is in the down tube so that tube is larger than usual, even with battery removed. HOW BIG...what diameter will the saris cradle and strap enclose? is there a LONGER Strap for the cradle ? thanks

Expert Reply:
The Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4412B has a 60 lb per bike capacity so it works with most E-bikes as that's typically more than needed for them. In terms of the bike frame clamp I checked with Saris and they say that it fits all frame styles and sizes. I'd have to see a picture of your bike frame to see if I though it would be an exception to that rule, but in the mean time a better option might be the Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 which has a 65 lb per bike capacit and use clamps instead of straps for attaching to wider E-bike frames.
