so we set off on are ownership journey, after buying the bikes and really enjoying the experience, we need to find pastures new to ride them, so tow bar fitted to Peugeot Boxer camper (how much£££!!) now we need a tow ball mounted carrier to transport them has to have he tilt facility to access the rear doors, been looking at the Atera Sport and the Thule, it seems like the best option is the three bike carrier to take the weight of electric bikes. All help and advice gratefully accepted. Thanks again.

Friends have Thule, expensive but you soon realise its money well spent when loading only takes a couple minutes. So easy to use.

If possible, you need to have a test run by putting the bikes on the rack(s).
There are a few ebike racks that accommodate the bike's weight, but do'n't have the spacing between the tyre channels, hence the chainstays catch the other bikes forks.

Nor the life of anyone following behind. I have seen the carnage left behind on a French motorway, after a cheapo looking rack said farewell to the car that it had been attached to.

Even with my Thule rack, I always ensure that both the bike and rack are chained securely to the towbar. I'd sooner drag it than loose it.

I have the Thule Europower carrier and my cycling pal has an Atera - both suitable for ebikes. Due to the spacing of the wheel channels (as mentioned by JPGiant) we can only carry both our bikes on the Thule carrier. My bike is an R & M Supercharger and his is a KTM EStreetP. When I had the same KTM bike the Atera carrier could accommodate both.
