Lifting a bike onto a vehicle’s rear rack can be difficult, especially with heavy electric mountain bikes and bikes. The Bike eRack is designed to make your job easier as it uses a motor to lift your bike.
Made in Canada, the anodized aluminum eRack mounts to the host vehicle’s 2-inch trailer hitch and connects to the electrical system via RV-style plugs. There are several different models (and 16 colors) and they all work the same way.
With the rack lowered parallel to the ground, the user rolls the bike forward and begins by inserting the front wheel into one of the wheel holders. Then use the integrated rubber straps to secure the wheel in place.
From there, simply press a button on the wireless remote control to raise the electric rack vertically and move the bike with it. The user simply secures the currently vertical rear wheel of the bike to the rack using another strap. Of course, taking the bike off the rack is the same process and vice versa.

The eRack locks to the vehicle and the bike can be locked to the rack. Also, if the user needs to open the rear he hatch of the vehicle, it can be done by lowering the eRack halfway down (bike and all). Other features include built-in running lights, brake lights and turn signals. License plate frame with lights. Emergency stop switch on the rack itself.
The company has announced a new MX line of Bike eRacks designed specifically for use on motorized dirt bikes. Prices range from CAD 2,499 (approximately USD 1,865) for a single bike model to CAD 4,599 (USD 3,431) for a model that can accommodate two full-size dirt bikes and a pit bike. electric or traditional.
