What do You Recommend for a Hitch Rack for a TREK Verve+3 E-Bike Step Thru with Fenders?
Question:
I have a 1.25inch hitch on my 2018 Honda CRV Touring. I want to get a tray mount rack for my TREK Verve+3 e-bike. Its a step thru with fenders and weighs 54 pounds. I was looking at your Saris Superclamp 2.0, the Kuat Sherpa only a 40# capacity and the Kuat NV 2.0. My big concern is the fenders impeding a good grip. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

To make sure that you have an electric bike rack that has both the weight capacity and the compatibility with your 1-1/4 hitch, I recommend the Swagman Current Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S64678. The advantage of the Current over the Saris Superclamp 2.0 # SA4026F, the Kuat Sherpa # SH12G, and the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA12B is the attachment to the bike frame instead of the wheels. This will ensure that the fenders on your TREK Verve+ 3 will not be damaged. The Current also has ratcheting hooks that slide up and down to fit almost any bike frame (this will eliminate the need for a bike frame adapter bar).
