Why the Charge Carrier's Adjustable Mounting Bracket System Changes Everything
If you've ever tried to haul an e-moto on a generic hitch carrier, you already know the problem: the bike never quite sits right. One side is lower than the other, you're fighting with ratchet straps, and somewhere in the back of your mind, you're wondering if the kickstand sensor just broke. We designed the Charge Carrier to solve all of that - and the adjustable mounting bracket system is a big reason why.
What Are the Adjustable Mounting Brackets and What Do They Do?
The short answer: they make sure your bike sits level and securely on the carrier, no matter what setup you're running
The Charge Carrier ships with three swappable mounting brackets: two (2) leveling brackets and one (1) flat bracket. The two leveling brackets each mount independently on either side of the carrier and can be positioned across 4 holes per side, giving you multiple configuration options to dial in the perfect fit for your bike.
No other e-moto hitch carrier on the market offers this kind of adjustable, swappable bracket system.
Leveling Brackets vs. Flat Bracket - Which Do You Use?
It depends entirely on your bike and setup - and that's the point.
Start by placing your bike on the carrier without any brackets installed, and take a look at how it naturally sits. That tells you everything you need to know about which bracket setup to use.
From there, you'll need one of two setups:
Both leveling brackets: Use these when your bike needs adjustment to sit level and secure. The leveling brackets let you shift the bike left or right while also providing a way to raise the front or rear wheel independently on each side until the bike is sitting exactly where it needs to be. This is the go-to setup for bikes with aftermarket peg brackets, bash guards, asymmetric hardware, or kickstand sensor considerations.
The flat bracket: Use this when your bike already sits level on the carrier without any adjustment needed. The flat bracket spans across the center opening of the carrier and keeps things clean and simple for bikes that naturally sit in the right position.
Why This Matters
Every E-moto comes with its own quirks - different pegs, bashguards, peg heights, and different frame geometry. A fixed, non-adjustable carrier forces you to make the bike work around the rack. The Charge Carrier works around the bike.
That's the whole point of the adjustable mounting bracket system: you get a stable, level, road-ready setup every single time, regardless of what you're hauling.
