Switching from any other hunting vehicle to a hunting eBike can seem like a scary decision.
Where will you put all your gear and equipment? This is the last thing you should worry about because there are many ways to expand hunting gear storage on an eBike, and also have plenty of hunting equipment storage available with slight modifications.
We know that you might not be able to visualize this – but have some faith and by the time you finish reading this article, you’ll never worry about storage again.
Because, down below, you’ll find the best ways to expand the storage on your eBike, but also know exactly how much storage your eBike can handle on its own – so keep on reading!
How Much Storage Can you Have on a Hunting eBike?
There are two things that you should pay attention to before trying to find more things on your eBike and these things are:
- Capacity of your eBike
- Storage available on the eBike
However, even if these two things aren’t quite the good news for you – there’s nothing to worry about as you can do a couple of things to change things around.
As we all know, hunting eBikes bring loads of benefits – but they wouldn’t be as good if you weren’t able to carry your gear and equipment, right?
Well, would you be surprised if we told you that you would be able to haul all your gear & equipment, and then even be able to fit & transport your game?
It might sound too good to be true – but that exactly describes how much storage you can carry on your eBike.
All hunting eBikes are different yet they all have one thing in common. They’re made for hunters.
On average, a hunting eBike can handle up to 300 lbs of weight (including the rider). That is a lot, even considering that the riders’ weight is included.
Down below, you’ll find out some of the best ways crafted especially for hunters to provide more storage.
Start by Expanding Storage Racks on your eBike
Depending on your hunting eBike – you might have noticed that some of them come with pre-installed racks. These racks are often of high-grade quality and can handle a lot larger capacity than regular bike racks.
Most hunting eBike manufacturers install a rack in the front, or in the back, or in some cases – they install both racks for the hunters.
These drastically expand space and can be used for carrying any gear and equipment.
Unfortunately, some hunting eBikes don’t come with these racks, or some of them feature only one rack.
On the bright side, these racks are available for purchase and they’re very easy to install. If you are lacking space on a hunting eBike – this is the first thing you should look into.
But if you have both racks and you still need some extra space – keep on reading!
Continue with Storage Bags
Storage bags are a great way to expand the storage on your eBike a bit more. What’s so great about them is that you can combine these even if you have racks installed.
However, if you plan on using both rear rack and rear storage bag – you should pay attention to the capacity. You could easily overload the rear wheel, and if your eBike is powered by a rear hub motor, this will consume a lot more battery and provide less power.
Most eBike manufacturers provide these bags as an additional purchase. However, if your eBike manufacturer doesn’t provide external accessories such as storage bags – you shouldn’t give up on this idea.
You can still use any storage bags that are not hard to mount and that fit well on your eBike. It might take a bit of measuring to get it right if your eBike manufacturers don’t provide storage bags that are specific to your eBike type.
However, in the long run – this will definitely help as we’ve seen many hunters who are able to store anything from the smallest things to clothing and some equipment in an organized way.
How is that for extra hunting gear storage?
Lookout For Hunting Cargo Trailers
Of course, two racks and two storage bags might not be able to satisfy the most average hunter out there.
That’s why eBike manufacturers have come up with a perfect solution – cargo hunting trailers.
Most manufacturers provide at least a couple of different versions and they’re very easy to attach to almost any eBike out there.
In return, they provide a lot more space where you can store anything from your gear, equipment, or clothing.
In fact, you could even use it to transport your game home after a lucky day at hunting.
Even though these cargo trailers can offer high capacity – they’re oftentimes made from lightweight yet sturdy metal with rugged wheels.
This way, you can attach the trailer to your eBike without worrying about overloading the eBike’s rear.
There’s even a kayak trailer that’s really popular among hunters and even fishermen, but this just shows you how far things go and how efficient hunting eBikes are.
Almost all hunting eBikes have more than enough power to haul the hunters and the trailer uphill. This way, you’ll definitely have more space on your hunting eBike than on any other hunting vehicle – and yet you’ll get the best of the eBike benefits which is stealthiness and an economical choice.
We’re sure that cargo is the ultimate option for hunters with a lot of equipment. How’s this for extra hunting equipment storage on your eBike?

Now, be honest – did you ever think that hunting eBikes could take things this far? We never thought either – but we are very glad that all of this is available to hunters!
