Recommended Method To Transport a Heavy Trike and E-Bike
Question:
I have an Addmotor GRANDTAN M-340 and my husband has an e-dash 500. I’m needing something like the Easy Load Tray X-Large but for an e-trike and e-bike. Your site says it has racks for e-bikes not recumbent, but I can’t find a picture of one. Thank you

Unfortunately, there are not any racks that are going to be able to handle a trike as well as an e-bike. The best you could do is use the SeaSucker Trike Rack for 1 Trike - Wheel Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted # 298-BD1005 which would be mounted on your roof, and then use the Inno Tire Hold Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # INH110 for your e-bike, however due to the weight of your trike (118-lbs) you're not going to be able to use the trike mount.
In your case, it'd be in your best interest to use a utility trailer like the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer # K2MMT4X6 trailer to carry your bikes.
From here you could just use ratchet straps # IMF18800-86 to secure your cargo while transporting them.
