Goover bike rack with wheeled base, wheel trays and rear lights

Goover’s wheeled bike rack tackles the heavy eMTB lifting problem

Goover is tackling one of the least enjoyable parts of an eMTB day out: getting a heavy bike onto the car. Its wheeled carrier lets riders secure their bikes at ground level, roll the loaded rack to the vehicle and connect it without first hoisting each bike onto a conventional platform.

The idea is appealing for anyone who rides alone or struggles with lifting a full-power electric mountain bike. However, the specification raises some important questions for UK riders, particularly those with long enduro bikes or limited towbar capacity.

Ground-level loading, with a 60kg bike capacity

Goover lists a two-bike configuration, an optional third-bike extension and a 60kg total bike load. Built-in wheels and a brake help with manoeuvring and loading. The rack itself weighs a claimed 25kg, while listed fit limits include 29in wheels, tyres up to 4in wide and a maximum wheelbase of 49.2in—approximately 1,250mm.

Those are manufacturer figures, not results from an Electric MTB UK test. We have not used the rack, so cannot yet judge how easily a loaded unit rolls across a gravel car park, how securely different frames attach or how straightforward the coupling feels in practice.

Why the fit limits matter for an eMTB

A bike can have the right wheel diameter and still be too long for a carrier. Measure the distance between its axles and check the complete fit requirements before ordering; the number printed on the tyre is only one part of the picture. Our eMTB towbar rack guide explains how wheelbase, frame fit and carrying capacity affect the choice.

The weight calculation needs equal care. Two bikes weighing 25kg each, plus a 25kg carrier, make a combined 75kg before extra accessories. That arithmetic does not establish whether a particular vehicle can carry the load: the vehicle, towbar, coupling and carrier instructions all need to agree. An extra bike position is not extra weight capacity.

UK compatibility and availability still need checking

Goover’s product page specifies a 2in towball or hitch receiver and currently directs interested customers to contact the company. We have not verified a UK retail price, delivery date or compatibility with a particular UK towing installation.

For now, this is an interesting transport design to watch rather than a tested buying recommendation. Removing the lift could make a real difference to access and independence, but the useful question is whether it works with your actual bike and vehicle—not simply whether it can carry an e-bike in principle.
