Bike Carrier for 2 step through Aventon Aventure ebikes?

[Capt Kirk]

Recently purchased a step through Aventure. Does anyone have a recommendation for a two up carrier. I see many of the carriers are weight limited for this bike and most do not accommodate a step through with fenders.
Thanks,
Shep

Hello, and I may have an economic solution to your problem. check out the "FulTymeRV" Platform Bike Rack-2 Bike carrier, fits a 2 inch receiver, and is lockable. It folds up, is very well built, and is rated for "200lbs" that is no typo, and even loaded with 2 bikes you can stand on it with NO flexing. Under $200, and goes together in 15 minutes with a couple hand tools. Now if I can just get them to send my other bike .........

I recommend the "1Up Bike Rack," their Super Duty Double Model will be the job with ease. This Rack can be adapted to carry up to 4 bikes with the addition of One/Two more Carriers. IMHO, and many others this is by far the best Bike Rack available and is made in the USA, Check it Out.

Will the 1up work with bikes that have fenders? I have two Lectric XP 2.0 step throughs and I am also looking for a good rack that will carry them. From what I see it looks like fenders will interfere with the locking method.

Edit: Never mind, I see they offer a fender cushion: https://www.1up-usa.com/product/fender-cushion/

Aventurine batteries are removable.

I purchased the Thule Pro 2. It carries my Aventure and the wife’s Pace 500. I am building a ramp to use when loading and unloading. The ramp is made from 4 inch PVC with a shelf c- channel piece as support, keeps the PVC from flexing.

Received the 1UP Super Duty this past Saturday, the Aventure fits perfect with no fender interference. It’s middle of winter here so haven’t gone down the road with it. What I know so far is the Aventure loads up easily and locks firmly in place. I rocked the bike severely to see if it would come loose but it stayed rock solid. The only bike to carrier contact is the tires. So far so good.

How did you deal with the 4" tires in a 3.1" rack design?

 

[Grampa_biker]

I have been researching that rack for a few days. I contacted 1UP and they support using that rack for the Aventure. It eliminates the cross bar need. That is the direction I’m going.

How has the rack done, so far? I purchased two Adventure's today and have struggled finding a rack that will handle them. This is good news.

We have that rack for ours. Make sure you buy two Hollywood crossbars for your step-throughs.

I bought a Mobi crossbar from Amazon rated at 70 pounds for my step through Aventon Pace 500 for $32. It works well.

Do you have the racks or at least one rack on the bike? I will have 2 bikes, 2 racks each. I am not sure about interference between the two bikes.

So now that you have had it for a while what do you think of your 1UP Super Duty?
We also have a pair of Aventure.2 step through bikes with fenders and rack and are looking for a good rack for these.
How stable has it been on long trips?
Do you have any pics of yours loaded?

Thank you,

We own three ebikes, the heaviest of which weighs 82lbs (Aima Big Sur) and wanted a rack that I could get parts for if needed and that had a good warranty. I decided to spend a bit more and bought what I hope will be my 'forever rack', a 1UP Super Duty Double rack that was redesigned in early 2024 with several improvements (thicker loading arms and trays and one handed loading lever operation), is all aluminum and has a lifetime warranty. I also ordered the optional loading ramp and wheel chock which is recommended for ebikes 70lbs or heavier to reduce steerer rotation. It's not the lightest rack at 62lbs but it's rock solid and I'm extremely happy with it.

The 1Up super duty rack, will that work with 20" X 4" width tires on folding ebikes?
I need a rack for 2 bikes and that looks very well built.

It's definitely a struggle to find a bike carrier for the step through Aventon Aventure since it's a step-through with 4" wide tires, 73lbs weight, non-removable battery and fenders. Even the bike carriers on Aventons own website are not fit for carrying this ebike.

I did however find this bike carrier which can carry up to 80lbs per ebike and it fits fat bike tyres:

This is the rack we use, it's a 1UP USA Super Duty Double which was redesigned last spring, with heavier duty loading arms and trays. It supports one 100 pounds per tray, is made of all aluminum and has a lifetime warranty.

If you haven't purchased a rack yet, you should look at a Studtrex. I recently bought this rack and am happy with it. I bought it on Amazon for about $350.
The Studtrex has the upright brace grab the front wheel at the steering tube and it snugs down on the tire. I took my front fender off because I didn't want to put pressure on the fender. Comes with a ramp.

Here is a link to it on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DWTFSTSC

Good luck

I got tired of looking after returning 3 racks because they were all too short.I had a hitch mount cargo carrier that I bought at a yard sale for $40,which never used. Using a few bolts,nuts ,washers and some 'ingenuity' ,I fabricated a carrier for my AVENTURE 2. WORKS GREAT and cost me some time and about $50-$55 TOTAL!!!

There are many racks that would work. I have one from Thule . This one fits tires up to 5in..

UPDATE : i just noticed that this is an OLd thread. sorry for posting update

RockyMounts. I researched most racks for my RV= lots of bouncing back there and RockyMounts rated the weight as well as RV (bouncing) certs. We haul two Aventon Levels (fender and racks) and separate trips with two emtbs. Also, has a ramp for easy loading-heavy ebikes.

We have the Hyperax Volt RV Hitch Mount and the Swingman Deluxe Bar Adapters for our Velotric Discover 1's. We are full time RV'ers and flat tow my wife's Cadillac SRX with the bike rack and bikes on the back of it. Have been using them for over three years, hauled all around the country, with no issues.
