RV Bike Rack for Lectric XP 2.0

[ggates58]

I am looking for advice on a bike rack for 2 Lectric XP 2.0 bikes. I would be using it on the back of my fifth wheel trailer. I also have installed the baskets on the bikes. I have a Thule Easyfold XT, but I am less than happy with it. The locking bars don't grab the bike very well, work loose, and have rubbed the paint off the bikes. I have looked at the 1UP, but am concerned about using one that holds the wheels will not work with the bike's fenders. Anybody have any good luck with any other racks? Thanks in advance.

You need an RV approved bike rack for back of 5th wheel. The bounce and movement will destroy any non rv rack. Consider adding receiver in front truck bumper. That way you can see bikes.

I lucked out and discovered that our 15-year-old "Softride" receiver-mounted rack works just fine. It's made for holding 4 analog bikes, so the weight of two ebikes is okay, too.

I'd say the key thing is to find a rack good for heavy ebikes. It will probably require a 2" receiver.

I have an older version of this one:

Price has gone up considerably since I purchased it. I haven't put it on an RV, yet, but I have used it on the back of a minivan with hitch extender and it's solid and sturdy. We intend to use it on the back of a small travel trailer in the future.
