Question:

Will this Kuat model accomodates a shorter wheelbase that is 33 inches? I am just concerned sinve your tire trays are fixed. My ebike is a Jetson Bolt Pro which is a very small bike. Thank you.

It will work with a 33" wheelbase but it isn't compatible with the 14" tires on your Jetson Bolt Pro bikes. The smallest size it can handle is 18". Additionally, the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack item # KU74FR tops out at 40 lbs per bike.

For the 14" tires on your Jetson Bolt Pro e-bikes, you will want the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack item # TH903202. This bike rack fits both 2" and 1-1/4" hitches and has a 65 lbs capacity per bike. It fits wheel bases up to 51-3/16" so it will work perfect for you. The EasyFold has a tilt away function so you can access your truck or cargo area while the bikes are loaded.

The EasyFold item # TH903202 has independently detachable arms that can be positioned anywhere along the frame to hold your bikes by the downtubes or posts.
