Question:

Hi, I have an ebike with a short front fender. Would the RockyMounts HighNoon FC be compatible with it? What about the Transfer 2? TIA.

The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike # RKY87RR, and the Kuat Transfer V2, part # KU64FR, are meant to secure the front tire as close to the frame as possible. However, the RockyMounts # RKY87RR took steps to allow bikes with fenders. It added two additional straps to that you can adjust the arm to go in front of the fender. The RockyMounts HighNoon would be a good choice and the Kuat Transfer # KU64FR would not work because it is not recommended to be used with bikes with fenders.

I've linked to a video review of the RockyMounts HighNoon below for your consideration.
