Question:

Do you have a hitch or carrier that would accommodate a 50 lb eBike for a 2021 BMW M440 i coupe. I see you have one for the M340i which, I think might work...?

Helpful Expert Reply:

I have a way for you to transport your 50 lb e-Bike with your 2021 BMW 440i Coupe, but there unfortunately aren't any trailer hitches confirmed to fit your vehicle so we'll have to use a roof rack. This isn't ideal because your e-Bike is heavier than the average bike, but unless you have a different vehicle to use this will be your best bet.

The Yakima JetStream roof rack system is the best option for your vehicle and it uses the following parts:

- 50" JetStream Crossbars # Y00425
- SkyLine Towers # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 25 # Y84FR
- Lock Core Kit # Y07204

Then for a bike rack I recommend picking up the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 because it has a 44 lb weight rating. If you remove the battery from your e-Bike it will lower the weight to be under the 44 lb limit so you can safely move your bike. You might also consider using a step stool like part # SASXL-08C-G to make it easier to load your bike on top of your vehicle.
