In order to carry the Trek Rail Mountain Bikes you will need a bike rack that is compatible with both e-bikes and bikes with fat tires. The best option we have for this is the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack part # SA4412B-FB which has a 60 lb per bike weight capacity and will accommodate bikes with tires up to 5" wide. The unique frame hook system will ensure you have a spot to grab onto the bikes so you won't have any issues here. The Saris Freedom 2 is also lightweight at only 22-1/2 lbs therefore easy to take on and off the vehicle.
