Electric bikes have changed cycling holidays. Hills that once ruled out a route are now part of the fun, and riders of very different fitness levels can explore together. The catch comes before the first ride: getting heavy e-bikes to the destination. A standard roof rack or boot-mounted carrier is rarely up to the job, which is why a tow bar bike rack for e-bikes has become the go-to choice for families and couples who travel with their bikes.
Tow bar carriers sit low, so you lift each bike only a short distance instead of over your head. They are built to handle the extra weight of a motor and battery, and many fold flat when not in use and tilt away from the car so you can still open the boot.
| Model | Bikes | Foldable | Tilting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thule E-Flexi G2 | 2 | Yes | Yes |
| Thule VeloSpace XT 938 | 2 | No | Yes |
| Thule Easyfold XT 934 | 3 | Yes | Yes |
| Mottez Zeus-V2 A028P2 | 2 | Yes | Yes |
| Eufab Premium 2 11521 | 2 | Yes | Yes |
| Fix4Bike Easyfold XT | 2 | Yes | Yes |
The two questions that matter most are how many bikes you carry and where you will store the rack between trips. A foldable model tucks into a garage corner or even the boot; a fixed platform is sturdy and quick to load but takes more room at home.
Each of these electric bike carriers mounts on a tow bar and is designed with heavier bikes in mind.
A two-bike carrier that folds when not in use and tilts away from the car for boot access. It is a strong all-rounder for couples who travel with two e-bikes and want something easy to store.
Best for: couples who want a compact, foldable rack.
The VeloSpace XT is a sturdy platform carrier for two e-bikes. It does not fold, but that fixed design makes it feel solid on long motorway drives, and it tilts so you can reach the boot when the bikes are loaded.
Best for: frequent travellers who leave the rack fitted for the season.
A foldable carrier that takes three e-bikes, the Easyfold XT 934 suits families who ride together. Folding it down makes it far easier to store than a fixed three-bike platform.
Best for: families travelling with three bikes.
Made specifically for two electric bikes, the Zeus-V2 folds for storage and tilts for boot access. It is a practical alternative for riders who want an e-bike focused design.
Best for: e-bike owners looking for a dedicated two-bike carrier.
The Eufab Premium 2 is a foldable platform carrier for two e-bikes, with a tilting function for boot access. Its platform design keeps the bikes upright and stable during the drive.
Best for: riders who want a platform carrier that still folds away.
A foldable, tilting two-bike carrier that rounds out the selection. It is worth comparing with the other two-bike models if you want the same flexibility in a different design.
Best for: anyone comparing two-bike foldable options side by side.
An e-bike holiday starts with getting the bikes there safely. Choose how many bikes you need to carry, decide whether folding storage matters, and pick a tow bar bike carrier made for the weight of electric bikes. Then the only thing left to plan is the route.
All six carriers are available from Norauto, where fitting a tow bar is also on offer. For more cycling trips and road trip ideas, visit Organizetrip again soon.
