I have a solution for you, but the rack you referenced is not a great option for your Aventon Ebike for a few reasons. This carrier has a weight capacity of 60lbs which you would be exceeding with your 62lb bike. You could remove the battery to reduce the weight, but you will still run into the more serious issue being that this bike rack holds onto your wheels which would likely interfere with the bike fenders.

I think a much better bike rack for you is the Yakima OnRamp 2-bike carrier which comes with a ramp for easy loading. This is rated at 66lbs per bike and uses adjustable cradles that attach to the bike frame, making it compatible with your e-bike equipped with fenders. This carrier will not only be suitable for your bike, but also gives you the capacity for a second bike should you ever need to bring two.

If you have a 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver then go with # Y96FR, and if you have a 2" receiver then go with # Y36FR.
