Carrying A 70 lb E-Bike On A Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer With Round Crossbars.
Question:
I have a Yakima rack and roll trailer with the round style crossbars. Is there an accessary sold that will accommodate a 70lb e-bike?

Expert Reply:
Hello again Jeffrey. We do have a potential option for you. Does this 70 lb e-bike happen to have a removable battery? We always recommend removing the battery when transporting an e-bike, but more importantly, removing the battery will allow us to cut a few lbs.
If the battery can be removed, I recommend you use the Kuat Piston SR Roof Bike Rack # KU32VR. This rack is compatible with virtually any crossbar shape, and this will include the round bars on your Yakima Rack and Roll trailer. The Kuat Piston SR has a 67 lb weight capacity, so removing the battery and cutting that weight will make this undoubtedly your best option.
I have linked a video review of this rack below.
