Traditionally, there are only two ways to load a heavy e-bike or e-trike onto a rack: Option one, lift it yourself or with the help of a friend. Option two, attach a ramp and roll it onto the rack. This article will share a third and simpler way!

Let's be honest – if you've ever tried wrestling a 70+ pound e-bike or e-trike onto a traditional bike rack, you know the struggle is real! 😅 Whether you're heading out for a family cargo run, planning an RV adventure, or simply need to transport your mobility-enhancing ride, the right e-bike hitch rack or e-trike rack can be the difference between a pleasant loading experience and a back-breaking ordeal.

At Quality Quest Bikes, we understand that your electric bike or trike isn't just transportation – it's your cargo-hauling companion, your daily commuter, and your ticket to independence. That's why finding the perfect assistant to helping load your electric bike rack is so crucial for protecting your investment and your body!

Important: The Easy Lift Caddy is a powered lift system that works with your hitch-mounted bike or trike rack to raise and lower the loaded rack. A compatible rack is required and not included.
