The best way to transport your Fatboy E-Bike

If you’re looking for a safe, easy, reliable way to transport your e-bike for weekend rides, holidays or adventures — the Ballards Bike Carrier is our 1# choice. Here’s why.

✅ Strong, Trusted Build Designed for Real Use

  • The Ballards carrier is built for robust use: it mounts to a standard “Hayman Reese-style” tow hitch and supports serious weight. 

  • While originally for dirt bikes / motorcycles that they can handle heavier-than-average bikes which makes it perfect for e-bikes. 

🔒 Secure Mounting

  • The design includes a “steady support bar” giving a secure, stable ride even on longer trips or rougher roads.

  • The carrier uses a dual footpeg shackle mounting system for bikes, rather than relying merely on straps. That means the bike is anchored securely at strong structural points, which is especially important with heavier e-bikes.

  • Because of the solid mounting and support frame, there is no need for additional, makeshift tie-downs. 

🛞 Easy Mounting and Practical for Everyday Vehicles

  • The rack is designed to mount on common tow-bar receivers. If your car or SUV already has a suitable hitch, installation is straightforward — no trailer or heavy gear required. 

  • For those who live in cities (like you in Melbourne), or who only occasionally transport their e-bikes for rides, this ease-of-use + hitch-mount design is often much more convenient than trailer-based setups.

  • Make shift ramp screws to the front of carrier so you can wheel on and off with easy. No lifting required.
