Why Choose a Specialised Rack for Your E-Bike?

Traditional bike racks may not be built to support the additional weight of an e-bike, increasing the risk of damage to your bike and vehicle. Investing in a dedicated e-bike car rack is essential.

Our racks range is engineered to handle the weight of electric bikes, providing enhanced stability and security on the road. Plus, they have features like reinforced straps, anti-sway cradles, and easy loading systems, making them the ideal choice for transporting your e-bike.

Frequently Asked Questions  

How do I choose the right car rack for my e-bike?

Choosing the right car rack for your e-bike is crucial, as e-bikes are typically heavier than standard bikes. First, consider the type of rack: roof racks, towbar-mounted racks, and boot-mounted racks are common options in Australia. Towbar racks are often the best choice for e-bikes due to their sturdiness and ease of loading. Check the rack's weight capacity - it should comfortably exceed your e-bike's weight. Look for racks with wider wheel trays and stronger arms to accommodate the bulkier tyres and frames of e-bikes. Some racks come with built-in locks, which are handy for security. Lastly, ensure the rack is compatible with your car model.

Are there any special considerations when using a towbar rack for an e-bike?

Firstly, ensure your towbar is rated to handle the combined weight of the rack and your e-bike(s). Most e-bikes weigh between 20-30kg, so a rack carrying two could push 60 kilograms or more. Check that the rack has adjustable wheel trays for different e-bike sizes and styles. Some e-bike-specific towbar racks come with integrated ramps for easier loading. Consider a tilting rack, which allows access to your boot without removing the bike. Be aware of how the rack affects your car's rear overhang - in some states; there are regulations about how far the rack can extend beyond your vehicle.

How can I secure my e-bike correctly on a bike rack?

Start by removing the battery - this reduces weight on the rack and prevents theft of this expensive component. Use the rack's built-in straps or clamps to secure the frame, ensuring they're tight but not damaging any cables. For added stability, use extra straps or bungee cords to secure the wheels to the rack. If your rack doesn't have built-in locks, use a sturdy bike lock to secure the e-bike to the rack. Cover any display screens or sensitive components to protect them from road debris.

What are the benefits of a platform-style rack for electric bikes?

Platform-style racks, often seen in towbar-mounted designs, offer several benefits for transporting electric bikes. These racks provide a stable, low platform for each bike, making loading and unloading much easier - a big plus given the weight of e-bikes. Also, the design typically secures the bike by the wheels rather than the frame, ideal for e-bikes with non-standard frame shapes.
