Could etrailer Motorcycle Carrier Transport E-Bike

Question

Question:

Is this carrier rated for a 80# ebike on the back of our 5th wheel trailer with a OEM 2inch receiver with sufficient tongue weight capacity? We have two ebikes so ultimately well need a carrier for both. All the ebike racks are backordered so these motorcycle carriers seem to be a good and cheaper alternative.

A motorcycle carrier like the etrailer part # e98873 would easily handle the weight of an 80 lb e-bike rack at the rear of a 5th wheel as it has a 500 lb capacity and was designed for a much heavier motorcycle.

I checked your order notes and the leaf springs you bought last year were the part #e28SR which are for 5k axles. Since this is over the capacity of your axle failure would not have been caused by over loading the trailer assuming you stayed under…

The Dexter 072-078-00 is a 2,200 lb capacity leaf spring. You can use a higher capacity leaf spring, however it won't increase the capacity of your trailer as the axle is still rated for that max capacity of 4,400 lbs. My recommendation for a…

A cover being installed on your spare tire would not prevent the Swagman Bike Rack part #S80501 from installing. The rack would still fit and work well. You might still compare the dimensions in the picture I attached with you spare tire so that you…
