Question:
Hi- I am trying to find a bike rack for my 45 lb electric step-thru style bike with fenders. I have a 1.25inch hitch. Can you help? It can be a 1 or 2 bike style Thank you very much!

We have the perfect rack for carrying your e-bikes with fenders and step through frames! You will want the Thule Easy Fold XT part # TH903202. This rack will fit your 1-1/4 inch hitch, has frame clamps designed for your style of frame, is specifically intended for e-bikes, and comes with ramps to make loading/unloading the heavier bikes (which it is rated for) easier. I attached a picture of the rack carrying a bike just like yours for you to check out as well.

I just saw the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Rack. What do you think about that one?

The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo # RKY87RR is a solid single bike rack that has a 60 lb capacity and grabs the bikes by the wheel. This wheel-mount rack is unique becaue it also works with bike with fenders. This is a solid choice and will not make contact with your bike frame.
The Saris Freedom part # SA4412B might another option you could consider. It has a 60 lb per bike capacity and grabs the bikes by the frame, if you would prefer that method of attachment.
I really like the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo # RKY87RR best between these.
