XLC launched the 'Almada Work-E' bike stand that attaches to the rear side of a vehicle. This stand is perfect for carrying one or two standard or electric e-bikes. It is noteworthy that the stand is strong enough to carry two e-bikes simultaneously, as these bikes can often weigh upward of 100 pounds.
In addition to carrying these bikes, the Almada Work-E doubles as a work rack. The carrying arm is adjustable to suspend a bike in the air, or keep it tucked tight to the car, which allows for minor repairs and convenient access to parts of the bike that are easier to work on while it is suspended, such as the gear hub, motor, or wheel replacements.
