Car Hitch Racks & Ute Loading for 50kg–110kg Electric Dirt Bikes

Transporting your electric dirt bike to riding parks and state forests is simple with the right vehicle setup. Because light e-motos weigh only 50kg–65kg, they can be easily loaded onto a standard car hitch carrier without needing a dedicated box trailer.

Tow Bar Tongue Weight (Downward Load Rating) Ensure your vehicle's tow bar is rated for at least 100kg download capacity (standard 50mm / 2-inch square hitch receiver).

Pro-Tip: Remove the Battery During Transit Removing the 12kg–15kg battery and storing it in your vehicle footwell reduces the weight on the rear carrier by nearly 30%, making loading effortless and protecting the pack from road vibration and weather. Use quality ratchet tie-downs on the handlebars and rear wheel strap.
