Solutions for Securing e-Bikes Inside Enclosed Trailer
Question:
I have a enclosed trailer that I would like to install hardware floor or wall that would allow me to safely secure the bike to avoid any shift damage while traveling.

I really like the Rack'em Single Hook Rack # RA-8. These padded heavy-duty hooks aren't specifically designed for bikes but they will offer a higher weight capacity that should handle your bikes, especially when using 2 of them per bike to better distribute their weight and hold them evenly on the wall. They normally hook around the top lip of an enclosed trailer wall but you can also just use a 2" x 6" board if you want to hang them lower.
With either of the above solutions you're still going to get some sway on the bikes during travel so I still recommend adding some support straps or an assortment of bungees such as: # EM06664 19", # EM06656 24", # EM06658 36", # EM06668 42" to help limit movement.
