If you wish to carry your eBike further afield by car, we offer a range of car cycle racks suitable for electric bikes.

Car cycle racks designed for electric bikes offer huge advantages for riders who want to take their e-bike adventures beyond their local area. Because e-bikes are heavier and bulkier than standard bikes, having a rack that’s built to handle the extra weight makes transporting them safer, easier, and far more convenient. A good quality towbar-mounted rack allows you to load your bike with minimal lifting, often with the help of a ramp, so you’re not struggling to muscle a heavy frame into place. This means you can confidently take your e-bike on holidays, day trips, or new trails without worrying about how to get it there.

Along with the necessary adapters and storage bags. It's important to note you'll need the applicable tow ball already fitted to your car ahead of fixing a rack to it. Towball mounted bicycle racks stand out as the ultimate solution for heavier eBikes due to their robustness and convenience.

They’re also incredibly practical from a day-to-day perspective. A well-designed e-bike rack keeps the bikes secure, stable, and protected while you’re on the road, reducing any risk of damage to your car or the bike itself. Many racks come with integrated lights and number plate holders, ensuring you remain road-legal when the bikes are mounted. With features like fold-flat storage, lockable clamps, and easy-fit systems, car cycle racks give you a hassle-free way to extend the range of your rides—literally—by letting you explore further, ride new routes, and make the most of your electric bike without limitations.

These racks leverage the strength of a towball, providing a stable and secure platform for transporting heavier electric bikes. With sturdy construction and higher weight capacities, they ensure reliable support during transit, offering peace of mind for cyclists. Their user-friendly design allows effortless loading and unloading, minimising strain.

The towball attachment provides superior stability and reduces sway, enhancing safety on the road. Versatile and easy to install, these racks accommodate various bike sizes, making them the preferred choice for transporting substantial eBikes, combining reliability with effortless functionality.

These racks offer stability and security during transport, utilising the vehicle's towball to create a robust and reliable attachment for safe bike transportation.

The amount of weight a rack can handle varies by manufacturer. When choosing which products we stock at E-Bikeshop, we ensure that the minimum weight rating is 50Kg. This means that two of any of our ebikes can be carried with their batteries removed and remain inside the safe working limit of the rack, however some can be as much as 75Kg.

Towbar-mounted racks are generally the best choice. They’re sturdy, easy to load, and designed to carry heavier bikes. Some even include ramps, making it simpler to roll the e-bike on without lifting.
