How do you haul your E-bikes?

[hohenwald48]

While traveling, I slide our 2 ebikes inside the Wrangler. No worry about rain or theft. If we're just hauling them somewhere for the day I haul both plus a regular bike on this:

Been doing it for years and on some pretty rough roads. Never had a problem. Never weighed the ebikes but suspect somewhere less than 50 lb each plus I remove the battery and place them inside the Wrangler.

You could buy a extension hitch and have a fabricator make you a sturdy bike rack.

There are ones rated for higher than you need

My 1500watt mid-drive ebikes weigh 45lbs each with batteries and seats removed. I have a Thule T2 rack and it's working out fine. Reduced the hitch/rack rattling with a hitch saver thingy. If you cover your bikes, make sure your taillights are still visible. Ride on! Mike

I have a Swagman X-C2 rack carry 1 ebike and a 7 speed cruiser style bike for 3 years no problem. I see Swagman has a couple of E Bike specific racks out now with 60lb to 64lb per bike rating. They are a platform type rack where the tires sit in " baskets" and center tube clamped to a vertical in the rack frame real secure. The names of the ebike new racks are Escapees ( rv approved) and e-spec

We also have foldable e-bikes. They ride, safe/secure/dry, in the back of our CRV.

I didn't mind washing the road crud off my Target $125 pink cruiser, but these 3-bikes cost too much to have them exposed to the elements riding on a hitch mount...even if covered.

I am not a fan of racks that hold bikes by the frame.

I think this rack is way to wimpy to carry 2-50lb ebikes AND you want a rack that supports the bikes, not one that the bikes hang from. Look at Thule, Kuat, Swagman, One Up. Sorry, but the right rack will cost way more than $149. Mike

This is the one I use;

Our bikes weigh about 55 lbs. each. We tow a Toyota truck.

This is the only picture I have of the rack, but I think you can see how it’s mounted.

Looks nice. What kind of rack is that?

[garbonz]

Some of us are lucky enough to have the rack built right in, and rated for Ebikes, although these Optibike's are less than 50 lbs.

I have a folding ebike and put into the bed of the F150 I tow that also has a cap on the back to keep it out of the rain and secure. My bike weighs 60 lbs with battery attached.
