    Some kind of ramp to help get my 50 pound bicycle into the truck bed without breaking my back. Any suggestions?

    Wow 50lbs, my Specialized only weights 16lbs.
    I'd search the web under motorcycle ramps.

    Why not get on it and ride it to where ever you were planning to transport it to?

    Yes it is. Have you considered a hitch rack?

    You could probably get some scrap and weld up a hitch mounted bike carrier for dirt cheap. If you're having a hard time getting it in the bed a ramp probably wont help you.

    Unfortunately, despite great advances in eBike technology, eBike range is still limited to a max of about 90 miles per battery pack.

    I want to keep it in the truck bed as opposed to the hitch. Its just a PITA lifting the bike up into the bed. Some kind of safe ramp would save my back and let me enjoy the ride when I get there.
