How can I transport a 75 lb electric bike with a G20 330i?

Looking for anyone who can help me figure the best way to safely transport my electric bike -- it weighs 75 pounds (34kg) and I don't want to use a roof rack. Looking for an option that can be taken on and off pretty quickly.

Any ideas out there?

Is the front wheel removable? Not familiar with electric bikes but if it's like a heavier regular bike, you could always remove the wheel and toss it all in the trunk (provided the seats are down).

Front tire

Good point, I can definitely remove the front tire and toss it in the trunk, but I am looking for a way to take it with us when we go riding with the kids... thinking it will have to be a Tow Hitch rack ... got a quote for Stealth Hitches for $525 plus $200 installation plus XXXX for the actual bike rack... [sigh] was just trying to see if anyone had any other suggestions.

Tow hitch is the only other way. IMO, a roof rack makes more sense, though.

No matter what you do, do NOT get a trunk mounted bike rack. That will jack up your paint.

no way are you going to get a 35+lb ebike on a roof rack easily.
Tow hitch is only safe way.
