Question:
Hello I have a 2005 Jeep Wrangler I tow with my MH and want to get a rack for a 2 aventon pace 500 Ebikes. There is 11.25 inches from center of mount pin to the Back of the spare tire and am looking for something I can swing out to allow for opening the rear swing door. Not sure if I need adapter and mount or just something that swings. Need something frame mounted as both bikes are step thru. Thule XT switch a Kuat swing out mount or something cheaper? Thanks

With your 2 Aventon Pace 500 e-bikes weighing 52 lbs each I recommend the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack # Y36FR. This rack comes with a 51" ramp to help you in loading those heavy bikes behind your Jeep. It is also rated to be used behind your 2005 Jeep Wrangler while being flat towed.
The Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y02483 will swing to the passenger side allowing you to still access the rear hatch on your Jeep. This will extend your hitch pin center hole 14" allowing you to clear your spare tire and be able to fold up the bike rack when not in use.
