Transporting E-bikes

We love our e-bikes.  We used to haul them in the back of the truck, but with the truck bed full of other things now we had to put them on the receiver on the back of the trailer.  

First step was getting the spare tire out of the way.  I relocated the spare from the rear bumper to under the chassis using the BAL Retract-A-Spare.  Installation was relatively easy.

Doing upgrades in campsites is a bit slower than if you have a front yard.  

The other issue we had was finding a bike rack that was rated for carrying the weight of e-bikes with the dynamics of a travel trailer.  We settled on the Swagman ESCAPEE.  It works great, but one last issue we need to resolve is that the handlebar touches the rear window.  Right now we just rotate the handlebar, but need a permanent solution.
