Adapters Needed To Mount Specialized Como 4.0 Step-Thru Frame Bikes To The Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack

Question:

We have 2 2023 specialized como 4.0 low entry e bikes. They weigh aprox 55 lbs each. We want to tow them behind a new Arctic Fox 30foot travel trailer , with a 2 inch mounted rear hitch. The hitch is rated for 250lbs. It looks like the RV rated hitches have some sort of ratcheting hook that stabilizes the center of the bike during transport. What about low entry bikes,, that dont have a center bar to accept the hook. What are our options? thank you !

To use the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S94FR that you were looking at with your Specialized Como 4.0 step-thru frame e-bikes you'll just need to pick up a couple of frame adapter bars # S57FR. These will attach to the seat post and handle bar post and give the ratcheting hook of the bike rack something to grip onto. The rack has a 70lb per bike capacity and is 60lbs so with your 55lb bikes you'd be at roughly 170lbs of your 250lb capacity.
