Just got my vanmoof x3 and trying to get a bike rack for it. I have a bed rack with a softopper so I cant use a bike rack in the bed itself. Any suggestions? Weight of bike is about 50lbs to 60lbs.

Looking for a cheaper alternative because I'm hurting from the $2500 cost of the bike??? then again, last thing I would want is a cheap rack to break while transporting it. ?

We've got a Thule hitch mounted bike carrier. Works on both the Honda and the Gladiator. Even drove it up a mild 4wd trail with a Giant ERoad bike on back. Along with another bike.

IMO, the 1 up is the best and will do dirt roads and last forever.

You don’t need any expensive rack for an ebike. A Hollywood rack from amazon will do the trick. I’ve had mine for 6 years and tote around 4 bikes on it. Including my Levo ebike. Sometimes I have two ebikes. I have a few friends with the Hollywood racks and have been happy with them. Otherwise, any bike rack should work fine for you. Just buy what’s in your budget.


This is the one I have, but I also the two bike extension for it, so it can hold 4.

I do love mountain biking in Tahoe, but that is actually the red wood forest just outside of Santa Cruz. It is one of our favorite places to glamp. Lots of unofficial mountain bike trails there.

I like mountain biking. My previous truck was Toyota Hilux. I used to just put the bikes in the back. But then I decided we need something good-looking. I was searching for a truck bike rack. The perfect size and type. Found lost of info and reviews. What really helped me is this https://rackadvisor.org/best-truck-bed-bike-rack. Here is said that when you get at your location, an ideal truck bed bike rack should be simple to set and unmount. The bike rack should also include safety measures to protect you from losing your expensive bike. When you leave your vehicle for a lengthy amount of time, you must ensure the safety of both your bike and your truck bed bike rack.
