Looking for ideas on hauling bicycles in toy hauler

[mrad]

I am looking for suggestions on how to haul two mountain bikes in our toy hauler without laying them down. I'm in MN, so I have a cou0lle of months before we take the unit out of storage, but would like to have a plan when we do

Google fork mount bike rack. You just pop the front wheel off, and attach the front fork to the mount. You can screw the mount into a2x6, or attach it to the floor or wall. There are different sizes now due to different axle widths and diameters.

Amen bro!

Actually I've been eyeing the fat tire versions, can access some offroad stuff that are "non-motorized" and some MTB trails. A desert racing friend has some and they love them, he rides his all around Ridgecrest/Inyokern

Are the e bikes easy enough to lift onto a rack? Not sure how much they weigh, looking at them myself.

My wife and I have e-bikes and they're pretty heavy. I've got a pad for my tailgate and it takes some oomf to get them into the truck. The harder part is lifting mine out without any leverage. It's not pretty to watch.

These things are great though. You can ride forever, until your butt gives out.

I've got 2,000+ miles on mine.

I would put a hook up high on the wall and hang them from the front tire.

I wish we had had a TH all these years of hauling our two ebikes on the front of our TV. It takes an hour to tie them up so they don't bounce around too much on the bad roads to Florida AND they get dirty especially on the snowy roads.

Not a TH owner yet, but couldnt you just strap them in an upright position to the tie-down points like you would a dirt bike?

I put a dog bed against the side wall then lean the first bike against that and cover with a moving blanket then lean the second bike with another blanket. I keep going until I run out of bikes or room. Sometimes I haul bikes for other people. I don't tie them down and haven't had them move or cause damage to one another.

I made myself a PVC bike rack about ten years ago. The thing still holds up and works like a champ. It was originally for the bed of my truck, but we use it in the TH garage anytime we take the bikes. Still love it.
