Bike Rack And Swing-Away Adapter for Winnebago Solis Pocket With E-Bike

Question

Question:

HI. I am shopping for a hitch mount bike rack for my Winnebago Solis Pocket Promaster 1500 chassis. I need to carry one e-bike ~50 lbs and a standard bike. Both have tires that are approx. 2-3 wide. *Both have fenders.*. I have viewed the reviews on several of your products and it appears that the Rocky Mounts HighNoon will work best but I would like your input about whether there are other options to consider. I will also need a swing away hitch mount extender and wonder if the Kuat product will work with the Rocky Mounts rack. I like the Kuat because would like it to swing toward the drivers side.. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Bike Rack # RKY67RR is a good option but there can be limitations. If your fenders come down too far on the tire you still won't be able to mount it properly. I prefer the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY64FR.

This bike rack uses padded clamps so you can hold it by the frame or seat post meaning the size of the fenders won't matter. It also has a weight capacity of 80 lbs per bike so it can definitely handle your e-bike. The one downside is the weight of the carrier which is 63.5 lbs. The HighNoon is quite a bit lighter at 39 lbs.

Both of these can be used with the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches - Driver's Side # PVD20B.

Answer 1

The RockyMounts GuideRail Bike Rack for 2 Bikes #RKY97ZR can be used for bikes with fenders as long as it doesn't cover too much of the front tire. Rear fenders tend to cover most of the tire so in that case we want to use something else. Since…

The RockyMounts HighNoon FC #RKY74MR and MonoRail #RKY10004-10005 are very similar, but do have a few differences. The HighNoon has a 45lb per bike capacity when hauling three bikes or 60lb per bike capacity when hauling only two bikes. The MonoRail…

Hey Tim, this is a really great question as the RockyMounts HighNoon part #RKY87RR and the Monorail part #RKY10007 are both very similar. To the point I almost don't see why they have both available at first glance. But anyway the Monorail has a…

Hey James, the Stealth hitch part #SH77VR that you referenced is a fit for your 2024 BMW X1 and would work great. Looks like we have one in stock but the main reason we took it out of our fitguide was the delay to get more of them.
