E-Bikes

Electric Bikes are our go-to mode of transportation whenever we travel the great outdoors. Most state parks and even some national parks permit Class 1 and 2 e-bikes. Zion National Park even has an 8 mile (Zion Canyon Scenic Drive) road where you share the road with no vehicles except their shuttle buses!

E-Bike Racks

We highly recommend a 2-bike rack. Here are a few of our favorites. Note: make sure you select a rack that will support the weight of your e-bike and comply within your vehicles tongue weight limits.

Engineered exclusively for 2-inch vehicle receivers, their lineup features heavy-duty aluminum and steel models capable of hauling up to 200 lbs for 2-bike setups and up to 250 lbs for 3-bike carriers. These racks feature integrated or attachable folding loading ramps to easily roll heavy bikes into place, wide wheel trays designed to support up to 5-inch fat tires, and an anti-wobble system paired with a 360° swivel design to eliminate off-road swaying. For added convenience, the user-friendly frame easily tilts out of the way for quick trunk access or folds flat against your vehicle for compact storage when not in use.
