Question:
I have a step thru cruiser e-bike and am looking to by the SportRider SE. Will it hold this bike properly without an adapter?

If it's the standard super low step through frame found on most e-bikes you would have to use an adapter like the part # UB01 with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Electric Bike Rack # HLY84FR to be able to carry it.
Otherwise we have the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which is an e-bike rack that has a clamping system designed with this style of frame in mind and would work great without an adapter. Also it comes with a ramp you can pull out and make loading/unloading easier.
I attached review videos for both racks as well as how each rack would ideally secure an e-bike like yours.
