Options for Carrying 4 Step-Thru E-Bikes with Fenders  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Given the weight and style of your e-bikes, there is not a 4-bike rack that can accommodate all 4 bikes at the same time. I have included a couple other ways to potentially carry your 4 bikes.

I would start by putting the (2) Lectric 2.0 bikes on a 2-bike rack because they are the heavier bikes between the Lectric 2.0 (64lbs., 57lbs. with the batteries removed) and Aventon Pace 350 (49lbs., I could not find battery weight information to know how much they weigh with the battery removed).

I recommend the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y36FR. I like this rack because it has the included ramp to help load the heavier bikes and the weight capacity you are needing at 66lbs. per bike. It also has a more versatile mounting style. The clamps that hold the bike adjust up and down and rotate for different angles, this will be helpful with your step-thru bikes.

You could then try to fit your other two bikes in the back of your vehicle or use (2) roof mount bike racks.

I would recommend using (2) of the Inno Tire Hold II Roof Bike Rack # INA389. This bike rack has a weight capacity of 50lbs. which is enough for your Aventon Pace 350 bikes. It also has a wheel mount style that will not interfere with your fenders.

If you are needing a roof rack for your 2023 Kia Telluride, I have included an option if you have factory rails or you do not.
