Question:
I have 2 Macwheel 26inch ebikes. It has a front fender. The fender sticks about 6inch in front of the handle bar support. Will this rack work?

I have a solution for you. Here at etrailer, we highly discourage the use of wheel-mount style bike racks when transporting bikes with fenders. With that being said, even if the front wheel of your Macwheel did safely attach to the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # KU84FR, the rear wheel fender would interfere with the rack.
For a solution to this problem, I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S94FR. Since the E-Spec includes padded ratcheting arms that secure your bikes by the frame, it eliminates the potential for the fenders to become cracked or damaged during travel. Since your Macwheel's have alternative frames, I recommend the Swagman Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Electric, Step Through, and Cruiser Bikes # S57FR. The adapter bar will give your bike a straight, horizontal plane for you to safely mount to the E-Spec.
If you need a hitch receiver recommendation for your 2017 Honda CR-V, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98848. The etrailer hitch comes with a complete hardware kit for a drill-free bolt-on installation.
