Velocity Volts Charge Carrier | Updated E-Moto Hitch Carrier for Cars, Vans, and Trucks
The compact, American-made way to haul your electric dirt bike.
The Velocity Volts Charge Carrier is back with a redesigned, next-generation version built specifically for e-motos and electric dirt bikes. Designed and built in Phoenix, Arizona, the updated Charge Carrier gives riders a compact, lightweight alternative to oversized motorcycle carriers, while still offering the stability needed to transport popular electric dirt bikes like Sur-Ron, Talaria, E Ride Pro, Altis, Arctic Leopard, Vetra, Electro & Co, and more.
If you have a car, van, SUV, or truck with a compatible hitch receiver installed, the Velocity Volts Charge Carrier is designed to make e-moto transport simpler. Instead of wrestling with a bulky ride-on motorcycle rack, this carrier breaks down into compact pieces, stores easily, and mounts directly into a 2-inch hitch receiver.

What’s New on the Updated Velocity Volts Charge Carrier?
The original Velocity Volts carrier earned its reputation by solving a real problem: most electric dirt bike riders needed a better way to haul lightweight and midweight e-motos without buying a massive motorcycle carrier. The updated version keeps that same core concept, then improves the structure, adjustability, fitment, and overall usability.
The new Charge Carrier is wider across the main platform, giving the bike more surface area to sit on. Velocity Volts also added kickstand and kickstand-switch cutouts, multiple mounting positions, improved hook points, stronger internal reinforcement, and a more refined powder-coated finish.

Why Choose a Velocity Volts Charge E-Moto Hitch Carrier Instead of a Motorcycle Carrier?
Traditional motorcycle carriers can work, but they are usually larger, heavier, harder to store, and more awkward to install. Many ride-on motorcycle racks are built for gas motorcycles, not compact electric dirt bikes. That means more bulk than most e-moto riders actually need.
The Velocity Volts Charge Carrier is different because it is designed around the way e-motos are built. Instead of supporting the bike by the tires alone, it uses a compact platform and foot-peg anchor system to secure the bike directly to the carrier. For riders with smaller cars, larger sedans, SUVs, vans, or trucks, that makes it a practical solution for getting your electric dirt bike to the trail, track, group ride, or riding spot.
Best Use Cases for the Velocity Volts Charge Carrier
- Transporting an e-moto with a car, van, SUV, or truck equipped with a compatible hitch receiver
- Hauling a Sur-Ron, Talaria, E Ride Pro, Altis, Arctic Leopard, Vetra, Electro & Co, or similar electric dirt bike
- Riders who want a lighter and more compact option than a full motorcycle carrier
- Drivers who need a carrier that can be removed and stored in a trunk, garage, van, or truck bed
- Riders who want single-bike transport with the option to add a second carrier later
- Anyone who wants a cleaner setup for e-moto transport without loading the bike inside the vehicle
Fitment and Compatibility
The Velocity Volts Charge Carrier is designed for many lightweight and midweight e-motos with compatible peg and frame geometry. Common fitments include popular models from Sur-Ron, Talaria, E Ride Pro, Altis, Arctic Leopard, Vetra, Electro & Co, Rerode, and other similar electric dirt bikes.
Some larger or wider electric motorcycles may not fit correctly due to peg width, frame shape, or underside clearance. Before ordering, confirm your bike’s peg geometry, frame clearance, total weight, and your vehicle’s hitch and tongue weight rating.
Important Hitch and Vehicle Requirements
The Velocity Volts Charge Carrier is intended for vehicles with a proper hitch receiver installed. A 2-inch receiver is strongly recommended. Avoid using hitch extensions whenever possible, because extensions increase leverage on the hitch and can reduce safe carrying capacity.
Always verify your vehicle’s tongue weight rating before loading an e-moto. The total load includes the carrier, bike, battery if left installed, accessories, and any add-on carrier setup. For best practice, remove the battery before loading and transporting the bike.
What Comes With the Velocity Volts Charge Carrier?
- Velocity Volts Charge Carrier
- Swappable mounting brackets
- Required mounting hardware
- J-hooks for securing the bike through the foot pegs
- Ratchet strap for additional frame support
- 2-inch hitch pin with clip
For added security and reduced hitch movement, we recommend using a locking hitch pin or anti-rattle locking hitch pin when possible.
How to Assemble the Velocity Volts Charge Carrier
Step 1: Lay Out the Hardware
Start by identifying your bolts, nuts, washers, carrier plate, and mounting brackets. The included carriage-style bolts are designed to sit into the square holes so they stay indexed while you tighten the nuts from underneath.
Step 2: Choose Your Mounting Plate Position
Start with the flat plate position for most bikes. The updated carrier gives you multiple mounting positions so you can adjust the plate left or right depending on your bike’s bash guard, kickstand, kickstand switch, and frame shape.
Step 3: Install the Plate Hardware
Drop the bolts into the selected mounting holes, then loosely thread the nuts underneath. Keep everything slightly loose until the plate is aligned, then tighten the hardware evenly.
Step 4: Tighten the Hardware
Use an 11mm wrench, ratchet, or socket to tighten the nuts. The hardware should be snug, but do not overtighten. Once the plate is secure, the carrier is ready to install into the vehicle hitch.
How to Install the Carrier on Your Vehicle
- Make sure your vehicle has a compatible hitch receiver installed.
- Slide the carrier hitch section into the receiver.
- Align the hitch pin holes. Keep your fingers clear of the pin opening while sliding the carrier into place.
- Insert the hitch pin or locking hitch pin.
- If using an anti-rattle device, tighten it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Check for excessive movement before loading the bike.
Some movement is normal with hitch-mounted accessories, but an anti-rattle device can reduce side-to-side and up-and-down play.
How to Load Your E-Moto on the Velocity Volts Charge Carrier
Step 1: Turn the Bike Off and Remove the Battery
Before loading, turn the bike off and remove the battery. This reduces the bike’s weight and opens the frame area needed for the ratchet strap.
Step 2: Lift the Bike Onto the Carrier
The easiest method is to load with a second person, with one person lifting the front and the other lifting the rear. If loading solo, position the bike next to the carrier, lift one end at a time, and carefully slide the bike into place.
Step 3: Align the Foot Pegs With the Carrier Holes
Once the bike is on the carrier, align the foot pegs with the J-hook mounting holes. The bike should sit flat and stable on the platform. If it does not, adjust the plate position as needed.
Step 4: Install the J-Hooks
Run each J-hook through the foot peg and carrier. Install the flat washer first, then the split washer, then the wing nut. The J-hook can face different directions depending on the peg shape, as long as it securely passes through the peg.
Step 5: Install the Frame Strap
Run the included ratchet strap through the open battery/frame area and hook it to the carrier. Tighten the strap until snug. Do not overtighten. The strap is there to help hold the bike down and reduce movement during transport.
Step 6: Final Safety Check
- Confirm both J-hooks are secure
- Confirm the strap is snug
- Shake the bike to check for movement
- Confirm the hitch pin is installed and secure
- Check that the bike is not contacting the vehicle
- Recheck everything after a short drive
Single Carrier vs Dual Carrier Setup
The Velocity Volts Charge Carrier is sold as a single-bike carrier, with an add-on option available for riders who want to transport a second e-moto. This makes it a flexible setup for riders who usually haul one bike but want the option to carry two when needed.
The single carrier is compact and lightweight enough for regular use, while the add-on setup gives riders a cleaner two-bike solution without moving into a large traditional dual motorcycle rack.
Theft Prevention and Security Tips
Because e-motos are valuable and relatively easy to move, transport security matters. A locking hitch pin is a smart first step. Riders can also replace quick-remove wing nuts with standard nuts or double-nut hardware to make the bike harder to remove quickly.
For longer stops, use a separate lock through the frame whenever possible. The carrier is designed for transport, not unattended long-term storage, so avoid leaving bikes exposed for extended periods.
Final Thoughts: Who Should Buy the Velocity Volts Charge Carrier?
The updated Velocity Volts Charge Carrier is built for riders who want a compact, purpose-built e-moto hitch carrier without the weight and bulk of a traditional motorcycle rack. It makes the most sense for electric dirt bike owners who ride often, drive smaller vehicles or vans, need easy storage, and want a cleaner way to haul their bike without loading it inside the vehicle.
The original version was already a useful solution. The updated version makes the platform stronger, more adjustable, easier to assemble, and better suited to the growing range of e-motos on the market today.
For riders asking, “What’s the best way to haul my electric dirt bike?” the Velocity Volts Charge Carrier is one of the best and most practical products available on the market.
