I don't expect a lot of responses on this thread. However, I am trying to better incorporate my e-bike on specific types of hunts. One thing I am not familiar with are rifle racks that can hold air rifles with bottle reservoirs. If you've used or are using a rifle rack that can accommodate a bottle gun, I'd like you to point me in the right direction. If you have one on an ATV or an e-bike and can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I'd also like to see if the rack can hold my awkwardly shaped Benjamin Bulldog too. I'm not sure that it's a great idea to rest the gun on the bottle, but again I haven't used these types of racks before so I don't know. Advice is also welcome, but please make it a point to keep your responses on topic. Thanks in advance to members offering helpful advice relative to the topic.
 
I do a bit of biking, but no gun racks yet. I find hauling heavy or bulky stuff on a bike is a challenge. Have you considered a bike trailer? A trailer can carry a lot more weight and bulk than a rack, and upsets the handling less. With a rack, one only can carry the gun, but with a trailer one can carry the gun, whatever game the gun shoots, a cooler, camping gear, whatever.

@Berserkeley Mike I have not considered a trailer to haul a single airgun. I'll use one to haul a heavy animal though. Right now I can put the gun in a pack or sling it across my body. Neither provide quick access to it for lucky circumstances. For example, this evening I rode up on a deer. within 40 yards. All we had time to do was stare at each other. There was no way I could have reached in my pack to remove a rifle without her bolting. A trailer would be louder a more inefficient in this situation. Plus the terrain is rough enough as is. I believe that a trailer would be too cumbersome. Tight spaces, rutted up roads, tight overgrown trails, crossing creek beds, etc. It just isn't a good idea.

Edit: Thanks for sharing the videos. I've been curious about Bakcou products for some time now.

I have a trailer for my Bakcou Storm but haven't hauled a gun in it because I couldn't get to it in time either. Works great for hauling sub 5" thick oak though because I can go places most can't get to.

If I had a rifle strapped to the bike it'd eventually get broken because once in a while I go down, LOL! Better get yourself a 50 BMG pistol to strap across your chest instead, JK. :p

Man I love EMTB's! On my 4th now. I weighed myself this morning and I lost even more weight, down from 160-ish last winter at 63 years old to 145.2 pounds now which is what I weighed in my late 20's.

I have a Montana Scabbard's gun mount on my e-bike. It's pricey, simple, and works well. All of my guns fit in too.
