Protecting E-Bikes While Transporting Them

[Jim1348]

My wife and I are travelling now. We have two e-bikes on a receiver hitch on our vehicle. What is the best way to protect the bikes, particularly the electrical connection when the battery is removed?

Some people I know will use a cover. These can catch the wind, so look for one that fits well.

Other wise, you can try to cover the battery terminals. Every bike is different, so you have to wing it here. I worry more about the handle bar controls and displays on my bikes, so I wrap them with plastic baggies and rubber bands.

I do the same thing for covering all the item on the handle bars.

I also get the biggest size of Poole Noodles and cut/fit them to the battery box areas, then use the large size elastic stretchy straps to hold the Pool Noodles in place when traveling about.
Works very well, so far.
