Folding E-Bike Accessories: Five Listings Compared by Weight, Size and Fit
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
A folding electric bike is built to be carried, stored and sometimes towed, so its accessories have to match that. The listings in this group include a combination lock for a folding frame, a foldable trailer, a set of folding pedals, a hitch rack for two bikes and a set of spare tires. Each one solves a different problem, and the fit details differ. This guide reads each listing by the weight, size and included parts it states.
Quick answer
Choose the accessory by the job first. A trailer carries cargo or a child, a hitch rack carries bikes on a vehicle, and pedals and locks suit the bike itself. Then check the weight, because the trailer at 25 pounds and the rack at 56 pounds change what your vehicle can carry. Last, check the fit. Pedal size, lock length and tire width are the details that decide whether a part works on your frame.
How we chose
Each entry uses the product details saved for the listing: weight, size, material, color, number of items and included components. The guide reports these as the listing states them. It does not describe how any trailer tows, how any rack holds a bike at speed, or how any lock resists cutting. It does not rank the accessories against each other.
What we could not verify
Load limits, towing behaviour and security are not tested here. Some listings give weight in pounds and others in kilograms, so the guide converts nothing and reports each figure as stated. Several listings do not state a size or material in the fields used here. Where a field is missing, the guide leaves it out.
The five listings
VitoUrbane: combination lock for e-bikes and scooters, alloy steel, 1.6 pounds
The VitoUrbane listing is a folding combination lock for e-bikes and electric scooters, in alloy steel. The lock type is a combination, which avoids keys. The item weight is 1.6 pounds and the included component is one combination bike lock. A combination lock is convenient when you do not want to carry keys, but the combination must be remembered. The title describes the lock as heavy duty, which is the seller’s wording. View the VitoUrbane combination lock on Amazon.
Bakcou: ultralight folding e-bike trailer, 16 by 3 inch fat tires, metal frame, black
The Bakcou listing is a folding trailer for an e-bike. The frame is metal, the color is black and the item weight is 25 pounds. The title lists 16 by 3-inch fat tires, and the trailer is described as ultralight. A trailer carries cargo or a passenger behind the bike, so check the rated load before use. The listing does not state a load limit in the fields used here. View the Bakcou trailer on Amazon.
ELEGICKLIP: folding flat pedals with reflective strips, aluminum, black, pair
The ELEGICKLIP listing is a pair of folding flat pedals in black aluminum. The item weight is 0.1 kilograms per pedal, the style is flat and the number of items is two. The title mentions reflective strips, which the listing describes as a feature. Pedal fit depends on the crank thread, so check the thread size on the product page before ordering.

SUNDAWN: 20 by 3.0 inch e-bike tire with inner tube, foldable, black
The SUNDAWN listing is a 20 by 3.0 inch tire with an inner tube, in black rubber. It includes rim strips, a valve core wrench, two tire levers, two valve cores, and the tire and inner tube. The unit count is one set. A narrower 3-inch tire is lighter than a fat tire and suits a folding frame. Check the rim size before ordering, since the listing is for a 20-inch rim. View the SUNDAWN tire set on Amazon.
Hollywood Racks: Sport Rider hitch rack, two bikes up to 80 pounds each, black
The Hollywood Racks listing is a hitch rack for two electric or fat-tire bikes, with each bike rated up to 80 pounds in its title. The material is alloy steel and plastic, the color is black and the item weight is 56 pounds. The components include a locking hitch pin and a locking cable. The rack’s own weight is the largest in the group, so consider the vehicle’s carrying limit before loading two heavy bikes. View the Hollywood Racks rack on Amazon.
A comparison by weight and fit
| Accessory | Type | Weight as listed | Size or fit detail | Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VitoUrbane | Combination lock | 1.6 lb | Not stated | 1 |
| Bakcou | Folding trailer | 25 lb | 16 × 3 in tires (title) | 1 |
| ELEGICKLIP | Folding pedals | 0.1 kg | Flat style | 2 |
| SUNDAWN | Tire and tube set | Not stated | 20 × 3.0 in | 1 set |
| Hollywood Racks | Hitch rack | 56 lb | Two bikes up to 80 lb each (title) | 1 |
Weight and fit are the two columns to compare. Each accessory has its own fit check, so compare the fit detail for the part you need.
What the trailer and rack add
A trailer and a rack both add load to the vehicle or the bike. The Bakcou trailer weighs 25 pounds on its own, and the Hollywood Racks rack weighs 56 pounds before any bike is loaded. Add the weight of the cargo, the bikes and the accessory to the vehicle’s rated limit.
Locks and pedals
The VitoUrbane combination lock avoids a key, but the combination must be kept safe. The ELEGICKLIP pedals are sold as a pair, and their fit depends on the crank thread. Check both before buying.
Tires for a folding frame
A 20 by 3.0 inch tire is narrower and lighter than a fat tire, which suits a folding frame. The SUNDAWN set includes the tube and tools, so you have what you need to fit it.
Checks to make before you order
Check the rated load on the trailer and rack against the weight you will carry.
Confirm the crank thread for the pedals and the rim size for the tire.
Check the hitch receiver size on your vehicle before ordering the rack.
Which accessory suits which job
For carrying cargo behind the bike, the Bakcou trailer is the option to compare. For carrying bikes on a vehicle, the Hollywood Racks rack is the match. For a replacement tire with its tools, the SUNDAWN set fits a 20-inch folding frame. For a lock that stays with the bike, the VitoUrbane combination lock is the one to look at.
Weight of the trailer and the pedals
The Bakcou trailer weighs 25 pounds empty, which is a real load to lift onto a car roof or into a hallway. The ELEGICKLIP pedals are light at 0.1 kilograms each, so the pair adds little weight to the bike. Check the trailer weight against your strength and your storage space before ordering.
