My recommendation is the Inno Tire Hold II Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum, part # INA389. It is the most robust wheel mounted roof rack we carry. It has a maximum weight limit of 50 lbs. Our next closest offering tops out at 45 lbs.

If you remove your ebikes batteries, as is recommended by most ebike manufacturers to transport bikes on your vehicle, I may have a solution for you. The Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount, part # Y02103, can fit crossbar spreads up to 48" with a maximum weight capacity of 40 lbs. Unfortunately, the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum, part # TH599000, will only fit crossbar spreads up to 43". I have included a product description link and a video review below.

Great question! The Yakima FrontLoader #Y02103 has 2 places for a lock core to be added; one to lock the rack to the roof rack and one to lock the bike to the rack. If you want matching lock cores for both bike racks then you need a 4-pack of lock…
