Electric Sports Bikes are revolutionizing cycling, offering thrilling performance and eco-friendly commuting. But transporting these heavier and often uniquely framed bikes requires a robust and reliable bike rack. The Sport Rider Bike Rack for Electric Bikes is engineered specifically to address these challenges, providing a secure and convenient solution for transporting your valuable electric sports bikes.
Built to Handle the Weight of Electric Bikes
Unlike standard bikes, electric sports bikes come with added weight due to their motors and batteries. The Sport Rider SE for Electric Bikes is constructed with extra heavy-duty components to confidently carry up to two electric bikes, each weighing up to 80 lbs. This rack features reinforced wheel holders, an internally strengthened frame, and an external brace, ensuring stability and preventing sway, even with heavier loads. Whether you have two e-bikes or a combination of electric and traditional bikes, this rack is designed to handle the load.
Universal Design for Various Electric Bike Types
Electric sports bikes come in diverse designs, including those with wider tires and fenders. The Sport Rider SE is designed with universal extra heavy-duty wheel holders capable of accommodating tires up to 5″ wide, making it suitable for fat tire electric bikes as well. Furthermore, it’s fender-compatible, eliminating concerns about scratching or damaging your bike’s fenders during transport. The inclusion of Small Wheel Adapters also ensures compatibility with 20″ fat tire bike rear wheels, preventing derailleur hanger interference. For step-through bicycles, a Bike Adapter is available for separate purchase to ensure a secure fit.
Security and User-Friendly Features
Beyond strength and versatility, the Sport Rider SE prioritizes security and ease of use. The patented No-Wobble Hitch Tightening System eliminates movement between the hitch and the rack without requiring any tools, providing a stable and quiet ride. For enhanced security, the rack includes a keyed-alike locking hitch pin, an 8′ security cable, and locking frame hooks, deterring theft of both the rack and your bikes. When not in use, the rack conveniently folds flat against your car, and it tilts down to allow easy access to your vehicle’s cargo area.
