Carrying/ storing an electric bike

I have gone through past posts but have not found what I am looking for. I just bought an electric assist bike and I need to figure out how to carry and more so what to do with it at the campground at night?

I do not want to carry on the front, when it is just me I do not want to take the trailer. I thought of putting it inside but at night would be tight. Thought of a hitch carrier for the back of the truck but then would need to take of the rear cargo carrier. It is way to heavy for the ladder.

At night I can take off the battery and leave the bike outside?

Any ideas that I did not think of?

    Long coated steel cable to loc to truck, or thru wheels so it cant roll. As far as weather, cover of some sort. I use a simple large plastic garbage split lengthwise on our scooter. Keeps unnecessary water out of the instrument panel and seat dry.

    Cant imagine living with bike in aisle let alone rolling inside or even into truck? Could you modify the rear rack for wheel hoops. Wouldn't think it would be very heavy, stabilized to jacks?.


    Legs is my concern. I can remove the battery to save some money in case.......

    Never thought of a cover, great idea as out of site out of mind and it is protected.

    Thanks,
