Question:
Charles, thanks for your response to my question re my 2 electric girls bikes. You are recommending Saris Freedom, part # SA4412B. This handles my questions with a couple of additional ones. I do not see that this rack can be locked. Also I was looking at the Thule easy fold xt2. I believe it locks and additionally its a tilt away as the Saris does not and finally, my bikes are heavy and I see the Thule has a ramp for loading bikes. This would be a great save for my aging back. I would like your input. Thanks so much.

I do have a recommendation for you but the Kuat NV 2.0, part # NV22G, isn't going to work with your fenders. Wheel mount bike racks rarely work with bikes that have fenders.
Instead take a look at the Saris Freedom, part # SA4412B. It has the same 60 pound capacity as the Kuat and hold the bikes by the frame. The cradles that grab the frame are adjustable and can be attached to the bikes at different locations and angles. I've linked a video so you can see how a bike is actually mounted on the rack.
