Question:

Im looking for well rated ebike carrier that will mount in a 2 reciever but allows for ebikes with fenders. I saw a yakima on-ramp but the reviews are spotty. Maybe something similar to a Yakima Stage 2 but that works with fenders. Any suggestions?

The best E-bike rated bike carrier for bikes with fenders is going to be the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack item # HLY84FR. This is frame mounted design that uses padded ratcheting hooks to grip your bikes frame. It will completely avoid the wheels and any fenders.

The Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack item # Y47VR is a wheel mounted bike rack and I highly recommend avoiding it because of the protentional and likelihood of damage to your fenders.

The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE item # HLY84FR has an 80 lbs per bike capacity and works with tires up to 5" wide. This rack fits a class III 2" receiver and works with all vehicles and motorhomes. The Sport Rider SE also has built in locks that not only secure the bike rack to your vehicle but also the bikes to the rack. This system uses the same key for all locks as well.
