There is a sneaky downside to e-bike ownership that flies under the radar. The truth is, not just any old bike rack will do when it comes to hauling your electric bike.
With an e-bike comes extra weight – most of them weigh between 40-80 lbs. You don’t want to bank on roof or trunk racks handling that
kind of load. It runs the risk of being bad for your back, vehicle, and bike!
Even some hitch racks aren’t a surefire bet. Weight capacity is just the start; there are many other factors that make a good bike rack for e-bikes.
The good news is that there are several great rack options available these days that are purpose-built for e-bike users. The bad news? We’re starting
to see too many options, and we all know how annoying the paralysis of choice can be.
No worries though, we've tested several to help you narrow down your search!
