I have a 26" pedego ebike which weighs ~50lbs, 18" frame. Will I be able to use this adapter with my bike?

Hi, Caroline Frankly, I have this adapter as well as the one with the Thule name on it and they are virtually the same product with just different paint jobs on them. I am not familiar with the bike you mention in your question, but I believe the adapter would support it for the front handle bar as well as the seat & seat post, add support the roll of the adapter. OR, since this is the same adapter as a the Thule, consider going to your local rack dealer and ask if the Thule product can work with your bike... I hope this helps! Good Luck.

You bet it will. Mine has carried every type of bike without issue. Great purchase!

I think so. I had no problem with my 26" GMC road bike. Adjustment is easy and flexible.

Update: Someone else took a look at the type of bike you have and he says it might be a tight fit. If you have 26" wheels it may work.Pictures are still trying to load - with the yardstick.

E bags have s hooks at e end of ea to hook onto e frame. So long as at e end of ur frame at the wheel hub there is an extra hole unused(some use it to secure their bike stand) it should be ok

As long as the bike is adjusted for height there should be no problem. I'm 6'1" and over 200 lbs. No problem. Smooth and stable ride.

the extra length of the adapter from 1/14" to 2" is at least 9" long and will reduce the weight the receiver can handle since it is leveraged out. You will also have more play in the receiver parts so you will need to strap down your bike to the car. I suggest you use a cross pattern with a tie down from the top right of the vehicle to the middle left of the motorcycle and top left of the vehicle to the middle right of the bike. This will stabilize the entire situation. I have also ran into problems with the motorcycle coming of the rail while driving over RR tracks etc. I tie down the tires under the rack to stop this. Works very well.

I recently bought a base plus an adapter for my 20 inch folding bike and it works wonderfully. I had a double knee replacement and soon as I could I was up on the bike. It rides quite high with the adaptor but iris as steady as can be. I'm away right now, but if this is helpful I write again on wed when I get back to my apartment and I can see the specs. I think it's a cycle ops but I'm not sure. Costs around three hundred dollars all together Carl

I wouldn't trust it for that much weight. Even if the legs can support it, the clamp may not. But, I have never attempted a bike that heavy, so I can't swear by this, just my opinion.

That should be fine. I use it with a 1973 Suzuki TC100 (205 lbs) and that works pretty well. I don't think I would put anything heavier than 300 lbs on it though. I found putting bungies on both sides from the truck's bed, around the outside of the bike, to the bottom of the bike rack kept it from rocking back and forth. It does what it's supposed to do if you don't overload it.

No. As long as you bought the bike mount and base support system you should be fine.

Yes it will. I have a 29 Mtn bike that I use the item on currently. I hope this helps.

The basket could easily handle it; it's all about how/where you have it mounted. I have mine wired on to a rear platform rack thing that's attached to my seat post, kind of cantilever style. I don't typically carry more than 20 lbs. in it, but again, it's more about the platform than the basket. If you have one of those platforms that attaches to either side of your rear wheel, it's probably much more stable than what I've got. Hope that helps -

i bought it for jetson electric bike and is fine. I don't think I would be comfortable putting big bike on it

it should work just fine. That's got 26 inch wheels, so you won't need an adapter. One of my recumbents has about the same wheelbase and the same sized wheels, never had a problem.

It really depends on the size frame. But there are adapters available from local bike shops as well as online that will make fit. They are around $20-30. Maybe $15. Two of my bikes require and the adapters work perfect.

if your bike frame have it no issues, if not you must use a derailleur adapter. It works fine with a 44t chainring.
