So You Have 4 eBikes, How Are You Transporting Them To Your Next Adventure?
Posted by YogurtclosetDull2380@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 14 comments
I need to figure out how I'm going to be transporting the family's bikes going forward and I'll need to move 4 of them.
A hitch mount is out of the question due to weight and I drive a wagon so that eliminates the tailgate drape and basically leaves me with a trailer as the only option.
Have you seen or put together a nice bike transport trailer or maybe know of an inexpensive prefab? Let's see how you're moving those bikes this summer.

Rent a trailer from u-haul.

Yeah, thoseare pretty reasonably priced, aren't they. Not a bad idea and I could probably strap them to the walls and keep them in place.

How many times are you willing to rent one before you just buy a small utility trailer?

I've been in need of a trailer since before the bikes but I really don't have any place where I'd want to keep it so I've been going without

Get something like this, put it across the interior of the trailer and lash bikes to it.

There are motorcycle trailers as well depending on the style of bike you have

And you don't have to maintain or store another piece of equipment

We ain’t never gonna win the war against petroleum if you keep dragging your e-bikes around with an eight thousand pound gas guzzling behemoth. Just ride. From home. Find adventures nearby.

Not for 4 e bikes. Too much weight. I agree with the Uhaul suggestion. It's the only way to move ebikes, in my opinion!

Incorrect.. 1up makes a “super duty” 4 ebike rack that holds 100 pounds per tray

Yep a trailer or a flat bed is the only way to go. Whether you rent it or buy one depends on how much you plan on using it, I guess.
