I would like to get a bike carrier to take my ebike out to different places and research suggests that I need a tow ball mounted platform carrier to ensure it will take the weight. As this will involve quite alot of cost a) getting a towball fitted to the car and b) the actual bike carriers even for one or two bikes seem quite expensive, I would like to try one out in the sense of... I need to know if I can fit the carrier to the towball on my own and then that I can lift the bike onto the carrier and secure it to my satisfaction. Several years back I purchased a witter carrier for my then non e bike and found it hard to fit securely to the towball and it was an expensive mistake. Some places will fit the carrier to the car but only after you have purchased it and had a towball fitted. Anyone know of anywhere that will let you have the different models out of the box before your purchase.
