I was loaned an electric mountain bike from Mark2 Bikes, but my primary concern was how was I going to safely and conveniently carry this eBike on my caravan?

This led me down a rabbit hole of research which made me realise that the bike carrier on my caravan is NOT suitable for carrying eBikes. As such I decided to look into the best solutions for carrying an eBike on a motorhome, a campervan, a van conversion, and a caravan. The video is split up into chapters thus:

00:00 - Introduction and how an eBike might influence your decision between motorhome and caravan
00:55 - How much does an eBike weigh compared to a non-electric Mountain Bike?
02:55 - Transporting an eBike with a rear-mounted or roof-mounted bike rack
03:56 - Bespoke eBike carriers for camper vans and van conversions
04:31 - Tow bar mounted bike rack
05:06 - A frame mounted bike rack for caravans
05:41 - Carrying an electric bike inside the motorhome
06:08 - Carrying an electric bike inside a campervan
06:26 - Best camper vans / van conversions for carrying electric bikes
06:48 - Best caravans for carrying electric bikes
07:08 - Carrying an eBike inside your car or caravan
08:09 - To sum up - safety first!
08:57 - Mark 2 bikes Scrambler
09:09 - Outro


I'd like to say a massive THANK YOU to Mark 2 Bikes who loaned me the Scambler electric Mountain Bike that I have used here. It's been an absolute pleasure to ride, but sadly I have no means of safely and conveniently carrying it with my current set-up. If you have one of the more convenient set-ups mentioned in the video then do please check them out as they are BRILLIANT bikes.

I'm gutted that I couldn't take it away on holiday with me given my current set-up.
