Expert Reply:

We have ways to carry ebikes in your truck bed, but not with the Swagman rack. What you can use instead - if your bike weighs no more than 50 lbs - is the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack # TH93VR, which can carry bikes with tires up to 5 inches wide.

If your bike weighs more than 50 lbs you would need the Yakima GateKeeper Tailgate Pad # Y38AR.
