Would this bike hoist hold an electric bike?

hoists a 28 lb mountain bike easily.. I would stay 50-60 lb max.... just my opinion....

If it weighs under the 75lbs? I'm using my hoist to hang large ice chest to clear floor space. I'm hanging 3, 120 qt. I rigged a board with hooks so it would balance and raise evenly. It works well but I would suggest changing the rope to a better grade of nylon if your bike is heavy. The rope provided is fine but tends to friz on the outer edges when hoisting any weight.

My bike weighs 30 pounds. For ease of lifting, I would max the weight to 50-60 lbs. Even those weights may be a struggle to lift.

The specs state up to 75 lbs. I think that what is just as important is how securely it's mounted to the ceiling. I mounted my two racks using more substantial mounting hardware than came with the kit, stainless steel and somewhat larger.

If your electric bike weighs 20-30 lbs, I would think the hoist would be ok. My Mtn bike is pretty heavy.

Yes, just alter the directions of the bike. And yes it will hold one bike without tipping over.

If you have an approximately 3x3x2-inch space (main unit dimensions) available on your bike, then physically, yes. Electrical-wise, this works with any 12-volt battery.

I also think it would. It is pretty small and it will surely serve a slightly bigger bike later on (without gears).

I am sure that it could, if, it's pulling within the hoist's recommended weight ability. I purchased this Hoist to use for a lift system I built to put things in my attic the most weight I put on the lift is ruffly under 200 LBS not a lot of weight but saves me on trips going up and down the latter. Works great for me, hope this helps.

It might be possible, but I would not recommend it. The hooks curve upward only slightly below the bend to permit them to slip under the seat and the handlebar. Raising the bicycle creates a small tension between the two hooks which holds the bike in place. If you were to hang it from a single hook attached to one of the tires, it would be precariously unstable, I would think. Perhaps you could make a sling of some time to secure it better, but I think there is probably a better solution.

I wouldn't trust it for that much weight. Even if the legs can support it, the clamp may not. But, I have never attempted a bike that heavy, so I can't swear by this, just my opinion.

We've used it with Electras...it works, but it's not ideal and you made need a cross bar depending on your model. If you're carrying two bikes you'll need to immobilize the front wheels so they don't bang around and scratch each other.

I don't see why not, although the more the bike weighs the faster you will use up the batteries so you might get shorter travel distance. I ran the bike uphill WITHOUT any assistance & the motor has plenty of power .

Yes, it would be more than strong enough. I use it to hold some pretty heavy cruiser bikes.

Should work, you will probably need a drop hitch and perhaps a small ramp to load the bike.

You should be able to as long as it has the horizontal bar that goes along the back end of the bike to the back wheel. It attaches anywhere along that bar.

As long as it has a top tube to hang on. Gender of bike doesn't matter. If it has no mostly straight top tube you'll need an adapter (like a hitch rack adapter)

I'd say most likely yes but you may need some typical household tools as well, depending on the bike.

No, it will not work. Go to a local bike shop to get bike chain, this chain is used for minibikes and agricultural applications.

Maybe, but I wouldn't recommend it because of the possibility of electrical surge when jumping a battery. Could burn up the harness and some of the electrical wiring to the bike.

Depends on your bikes weight and how much the vehicle will sag when you load up the carrrier. I use it with a CRV and it works fine but pulling into certain stores etc, I have to be careful with abrupt inclines.
