Let’s Ride: How to Load and Lock Your eBike Like a Pro
Because the adventure starts the second you hitch up.
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of rolling out on an eBike adventure- fresh air, dusty trails, and the open road ahead. But before you hit the gas, let’s make sure your eBike is locked down tight and ready for the journey. Whether you’re road-tripping to the mountains or cruising to your favorite local loop, this guide will help you load your rig safely, quickly, and without the drama. Read on as we break down how to load your eBike and explore how the MoTow can make transporting your eBike easier than ever.
Step 1: Pick a Rack That Can Keep Up
The last thing you want? A rickety rack that can’t handle the weight. eBikes are heavy, and that calls for serious gear. Enter the MoTow eBike Rack: U.S.-made, stainless steel tough, and engineered for convenience. It supports even the heaviest setups without breaking a sweat (or your bumper).
Step 2: Prep Your eBike
Pop off the battery, ditch any panniers or loose gear, and check your tires. Stripping down your bike not only lightens the load but also protects your gear from damage during transport.
Step 3: Load Like a Legend
Just lift one wheel at a time (front first) and place it securely in the rack tray. Work smarter, not harder. MoTow’s low-profile design makes loading way easier than those high-lift setups. Add a MoTow Hitch Lift for even easier loading, especially when you’re handling heavy eBikes or flying solo.
Step 4: Lock It Down
Use the rack’s integrated arms or straps to anchor the frame and wheels, and give everything a good shake before heading out. No wobbles, no worries. Bonus points for throwing on an extra locking hitch pin for added security.
Step 5: Road-Ready Check
Confirm your hitch is secure, your taillights are visible, and your ride is rock-solid. Then cue up your playlist, crack the windows, and roll out with confidence.
Why MoTow’s Got Your Back
The MoTow eBike Rack isn’t just tough, it’s trail-tested by riders who live for the journey. Built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel in the USA, it’s designed for maximum strength and minimum hassle.
