A tow ball is a round ball-shaped connector mounted on the rear of your vehicle, typically used for towing trailers, caravans, and bike racks. Tow ball racks attach directly to this ball, providing a secure and stable base for carrying bikes. The main difference between a tow ball and a hitch is the connection type. A hitch uses a square receiver and is often better suited for larger vehicles like trucks or SUVs. Tow ball systems, on the other hand, can be used with a variety of vehicle types, including smaller cars.

Yes! Many of our tow ball racks, such as the E-Hornet (Tow Ball) and E-Scorpion (Tow Ball) series, are specifically designed to handle the extra weight of e-bikes. These racks have a high load capacity and feature stable, heavy-duty construction to ensure safe transport. Some models even come with a tilting feature, allowing you to access your boot even when bikes are mounted.

Tow ball bike racks are designed for ease of use and quick installation. Most models simply clamp onto the tow ball, with no need for additional tools. In just a few minutes, your rack will be securely mounted and ready to go. Removal is equally straightforward, making these racks an excellent option for frequent users or those needing a rack they can store easily when not in use.
