HITCH FAIL ebike Fell off my Bike Rack – What Happened and The Solution

July 8, 2023

My Leader Accessories ebike hitch rack for my truck FAILED, and an ebike fell off! If you use a truck hitch rack for your ebikes, you need to understand why my bike rack for ebikes failed AND the solution to prevent it from happening again. I show how to solve the problem for both a truck and an SUV with a hitch carrier mount. These racks are good for your electric bike if you take a few extra steps – especially if you have a fat tire ebike – those tires make for nice riding but are also heavy. I show, in my opinion, the best approach to prevent a bike from falling off the car hitch!
