How to Transport Your Electric Bike: Why an Ebike-Rated Hitch Rack Is the Way to Go
Sometimes, riding all the way just isn’t possible—and that’s where a good bike rack comes in. Whether you’re heading out on a road trip, transporting to a trailhead, or picking up a friend for a ride, a sturdy rack lets your electric bike come along for the adventure.
At Vvolt, we design our ebikes to be lighter than most...especially our Alpha Series models, which weigh in under 50 lbs fully equipped. Even our heavier models stay under that key 50-pound threshold once you remove the battery. That means many standard racks could technically do the job.
But here’s the thing: not all bikes on your rack may be as svelte as your Vvolt. You may want to carry a friend’s heavier ebike, or future-proof your setup for flexibility. That’s why we recommend going straight for an ebike-rated hitch rack.
Why choose an e-bike-rated hitch rack?
These racks are purpose-built to handle the extra weight and wheel size of modern electric bikes. They're tougher, more stable, and designed with features like wider cradles and reinforced arms. Hitch-mounted racks also keep your ride secure without compromising your car’s paint or interior.
Bottom line? A hitch rack is the safest and easiest way to transport your Vvolt—and an ebike-rated model ensures you’re ready for whatever the road (or your riding crew) throws at you.
