My e-MTB conversion weighs way north of 50 lbs. I've been trying to figure out a way to carry it on my Camry that won't cost as much as the conversion itself. 26 lbs and my trunk rack still works.
50 pounds and a receiver hitch works as well.
Drove 3000 miles this summer with a 50# ebike and a SWB recumbent on the back of my Mazda3.
The ebike was even a cannondale aluminum frame bike that I hung by the top bar, mid drive motor and all. Only problem I had is the wind broke one of my plastic SKS fenders.
You can get a receiver hitch and bike rack from Amazon for $250 just like I did.
