Bike Racks for Serious Cyclists – Secure Transport for Trail, Road & eBike Adventures

Bike Racks Built for Real Rides: Secure Transport & Storage for eBikes, Trail Bikes & Family Fleets

Transporting bikes shouldn't compromise your frame, your vehicle, or your weekend plans. Gearlanders curates hitch, platform, roof, truck-bed, and storage solutions that prioritize load capacity (especially 60–80 lb eBikes), no-frame-contact designs where possible, easy loading, and swing-away access for trailheads or campsites.

Key Categories We Carry:

• eBike Racks — Platform-style hitches and carriers rated for heavier electric bikes (check per-bike weight and wheelbase compatibility).
• Hitch Bike Racks — 1–4 bike options with tilting/swing features for rear access; ideal for SUVs, trucks, and vans.
• Roof & Fork Mounts — Aerodynamic choices for lighter setups; fork mounts offer stability but require thru-axle/quick-release confirmation.
• Truck Bed Solutions — Pickup-specific racks that keep bikes off the bumper and secure for off-road trips.
• Wall Storage & Security — Garage organizers and locks/cables to protect bikes at home or trail parking.

These selections focus on frame-friendly mounting, anti-sway stability, and compatibility with modern setups (fat tires, long wheelbases, carbon frames). We avoid generic low-capacity options that risk damage or fail under real use.

Who This Collection Serves:

• eBike commuters and adventurers hauling 50–80 lb rigs without frame stress.
• Families needing multi-bike capacity for road trips or group rides.
• Overlanders/van-lifers integrating bike storage with gear hauls.
• Serious mountain bikers who value quick load/unload at the trailhead.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• What weight capacity do I need for eBikes? Most standard bike racks top out at 30–40 lbs per bike, but eBikes often weigh 50–80 lbs with battery. We focus on hitch and platform racks rated 60+ lbs per position (e.g., many in our lineup support up to 70–80 lbs per bike). Always verify exact capacity and total rack limit on the product page before purchase.
• Are your hitch bike racks compatible with electric bikes? Yes — several options (including platform-style hitches like the Skaha series) are designed for eBikes, accommodating heavier weights, longer wheelbases, and fat tires. Confirm your bike's specs (weight, frame type, tire width) against the product's compatibility notes.
• Do I need a 2-inch hitch receiver? Most multi-bike hitch racks require a 2-inch receiver for stability and load support. 1.25-inch hitches are limited to lighter 1–2 bike setups. Check your vehicle's receiver size and tongue weight rating in the owner's manual.
• How easy is installation and loading? Hitch racks typically slide into the receiver and secure with a pin/lock (5–10 minutes first time). Many include tilting or swing-away features for trunk access without unloading bikes. For heavier eBikes, look for models with ramp compatibility or low load height.
• Will these racks damage my carbon frame or bike? We prioritize no-frame-contact or frame-friendly designs where possible (e.g., wheel-tray platforms over hook-style). Anti-sway cradles and padded clamps help prevent movement. For carbon bikes, choose platform racks and double-check mounting instructions.
• What if the rack doesn't fit my vehicle or bike? Review detailed compatibility on each product page (hitch size, receiver drop, wheelbase limits). We offer 30-day returns per policy (frame damage covered if per manufacturer guidelines). Contact us pre-purchase if unsure.
• Do you ship these racks quickly and what about assembly? Direct from suppliers — most orders ship in 2–7 business days. Racks arrive partially assembled; tools and instructions included. Free shipping thresholds apply (check cart).
