Bike Rack Recommendation for e-Bikes at Back of Travel Trailer

Question:

We have a 2017 keystone cougar with one of those pull out storage racks that pulls out from underneath. We just got 2 ebikes that are fat tire and 78 inches long. We want to be able to haul them on back of trailer. Is there a way to do that? Something somewhat affordable Like some sort of saddles they would sit on to add on?

There definitely is a way to transport your e-Bikes on the back of your Keystone Cougar but if you're wanting to use that pull out storage rack then you'll basically just have to strap the bikes down with ratchet straps and/or bungee cords as there aren't any add-on cradles that I'm aware of.

If your Cougar has a hitch installed then the best option is the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # LGA77FR which can handle 75 lb bikes with up to a 50" wheelbase (center of front axle to center of rear axle). I recommend checking the wheelbase on your bikes to make sure this will work though.

We have a variety of bike racks that work withy e-Bikes and are safe to use on a motorhome but since hitches at the back of a travel trailer move around so much more not every bike rack is strong enough for this application so the options are a bit limited. If your trailer doesn't have a hitch at the back then you should be able to install one like the Curt # 13703 but you may need to modify or remove the storage rack you mentioned.
