Yes you can use motorcycle carrier like the etrailer.com carrier part # e98873 to carry an e-bike if you wanted to. It has more than enough capacity and as long as you strap it down like you mentioned you'd be fine.

For ratchet style motorcycle straps you could then use the part # EM05710.

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…
