Hi William!

The Trek Verve+ 4S Lowstep is a fairly unique design, but we have had a few people ask about them and we do have options for you.

The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # TH903202 you found is a very good option and one we have a lot of people go with. It is on the expensive side, but with how it holds bikes, it is very versatile and can definitely be used with your Trek Verve+ 4S Lowstep bikes.

The other option is the Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY66ZR. This is pretty similar to the EasyFold, but is the less fancy option so you would save some money with it.

What vehicle will you be putting the rack on?

After watching the videos on the Hollywood Rack, the presenter sums up with the comment that this rack can't be used on a RV or a towed vehicle. My reason for purchase is to use this 1)independently on my jeep wrangler rubicon or 2) independently on my jeep wrangler while being towed behind my Class B motorhome or 3) used independently on the Class B Motorhome without towing the jeep. Is this rack appropriate for all three activities? If not, what are the specific issues? If not, are their other racks available that will work with the Verve+ 4s lowsteop? Thank you Bill

@WilliamM That does complicate things a little, but not completely. Neither the Thule # TH903202 nor Hollywood Racks # HLY66ZR will work with all three ways you need. There are going to be 2 options that will work with the shape of your bikes and in all the ways you need. I have both listed below: Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY64FR Lets Go Aero V-Lectric VFR Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # LGA25VR I would still go with the Hollywood Racks option as it's less expensive, but I figured I would give you all the options we had. What kind of motorhome do you have?

@BillM Nice RV! Reason I asked, the Hollywood Racks can only be used if your hitch is attached to the frame. Granted, now that I am typing this out, I very highly doubt you are using a hitch that attaches to a 4" x 4" bumper to flat tow your Jeep. : P
