Bike-Hook and eBikes: Questions Answered About Weight, Safety, and Fit
❓Are eBikes safe on Bike-Hooks? Yes—when mounted properly, eBikes are just as secure as any other bike. Our fork mount system uses a customizable “hub block” to match your bike’s front axle or dropout system. Most eBikes use standard quick-release or thru-axle hubs. If you’re not sure, just remove the front wheel, measure the fork spacing in millimeters, and compare that to the specs on the Bike-Hook product page.
Why Bike-Hook Isn’t a Bike Rack—It’s a Smarter Mounting System
🔍 1. It Mounts to the Doors, Not the Hitch Traditional racks depend on your vehicle’s hitch receiver and often extend several feet behind your van. They can rattle, sway, and get in the way every time you need to open your back doors.Bike-Hook mounts directly to the top of your rear doors using your bike’s front fork. No swinging gates. No drilling. No hassle.
