Expert Reply:

Yep, you can definitely load bikes with fenders on the Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitch # KU66ZR or 2" Hitch # KU76ZR.

For either rack, all you need to do is wrap straps around the tire and ratcheting arm with the Fender Straps # KU43VR.

Using those straps will protect the fenders from coming into contact with the rack's arm. If your bikes are heavier and you want some help lifting them on either rack, there is also an option to do that by adding the Loading Ramp # KU63VR.

WE have 2 Aima Ebikes and the fenders come almost parallel to rear tires center ..... it seems a bit farther than examples I have seen of doable fender kit connections.... could the rear fender be trimmed back a few inches? We want to get this rack as it offers ease of use and allows for our Ebike(s) wheel base and weight restraints and has a ramp

@ChrisK the fenders shouldn't impact the functionality of the bike so you can certainly trim them if you don't mind how it looks and use the # KU66ZR or # KU76ZR.
