The Saris SuperClamp EX, part # SA4025F, is compatible with e-bikes with fenders.

To do this, you will need to mount the front hook right where the fender ends. You'll also need to place the rear hook over the rear fender while not fully placing on the fender. This hook is mostly for safety rather than securing the bike outright.

It's also recommended that you make sure to use the wheel straps. This is part of keeping the bike secure.

For a Class I hitch like yours we do not recommend the use of hitch adapters since they cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed on by 50 percent and add quite a bit of movement. Instead we'd recommend a bike rack like the Thule Camber…
