Electric Bike
Racks
Obviously, there are a few distinct differences between an electric bike and a regular bicycle. Those of us who own electric bikes (and indeed bicycles in general) know how important it is to make sure they're transported safely and securely. Just as there are some variations between an electric bike and a non-electric one, the car rack requirements needed to transport an e-bike are also a bit different. To help get you and your electric bike from A to B, we've put together a quick guide on how to choose the best electric bike rack for cars.
Peruzzo car bicycle racks
We've introduced Peruzzo car bicycle racks to our range of electric bike accessories. Each model has additional features that make them easy to put together and take apart. The Pure Instinct range has been designed to hold a max weight of 40kg - 65kg, allowing the weight for 2 to 3 electric bikes, all dependent on the model. Bike rack models have also been designed with wider spaced wheel holders to accommodate electric bikes - meaning you won't need to remove the battery pack when transporting your bike. Some models also offer an optional ramp for ease of loading.
Peruzzo car racks have specific benefits for e-bikes, but they still have many other features that are advantageous for both traditional and electric bikes. They are extremely compact when folded so that they can be stored easily and fit well in a car boot. They offer a foot-operated tipping mechanism, to avoid strain on your back and help with easy movement of the bikes and car rack. We also think the Peruzzo range contains some of the best car racks for e-bikes because they have a built-in lock to safely secure your electric bike to the carrier and the carrier to the vehicle.

Each Peruzzo model we supply has it's own benefits and it's important to understand the features on each so that you get the correct bike you. Take a look at the range of Peruzzo car bike racks that we sell online.
