If you’ve ever hauled a motorcycle—especially dirt bikes—you already know the routine.
You load the bike, tighten everything down, and it feels solid. Then you hit a bump, the suspension settles, a strap loosens, and now you’re worried and stressed if your bike is still upright.
Hauling more than one bike makes it even worse. Most wheel chocks force you into one position—straight against the wall—so your trailer (or truck bed setup) ends up cramped and awkward. And if you want to angle your bikes to save space? Now you’re dealing with wedges, re-bolting, or a setup that never stays consistent.
That’s exactly why we built the Rad Haul E-Track Motorcycle Wheel Chock. It’s a compact, versatile e-track motorcycle wheel chock that locks into an e-track in seconds and lets you load straight or at an angle up to 45°—without wedges, bolts, or wasted space.
This guide breaks down why traditional wheel chocks fall short, what makes an e-track motorcycle wheel chock better, and why Rad Haul’s design is built for better hauling.

Quick Answer: What Is an E-Track Motorcycle Wheel Chock?
An e-track motorcycle wheel chock is a wheel chock that locks into an e-track rail—commonly found in enclosed trailers and truck beds—to help keep your front wheel stable during transport. Instead of permanently bolting a chock to the trailer floor, an e-track setup lets you reposition, remove, or angle your chock based on how you’re loading your bikes or gear.
Rad Haul’s version improves the concept with:
- 0–45° angled loading without wedges
- Low-profile design that saves trailer space
- Adjustable cleat height to fit a wide range of tire sizes
- UHMW grip strip to help protect rims and tires
- Tie down points on the actual wheel chock themselves
Why Traditional Motorcycle Tie-Down Setups Fail in Trailers
Most motorcycle hauling setups still rely on the same basic system:
- A floor chock (usually bulky)
- A pile of ratchet straps
- A lot of trial-and-error
- Too much stress for what should be simple
Even if you’ve gotten good at hauling, the pain points don’t go away.
Common Motorcycle Hauling Problems in Enclosed Trailers or Truck Beds
- Bikes tip and shift if straps loosen mid-trip
- Many chocks force a single position (90° only)
- Angled loading requires wedges, re-bolting, or extra hardware
- Bulky chocks stick out, reduce trailer space, and get smashed when you switch to a UTV or a wider machine
- One loose strap or tipped bike can wreck your weekend real quick
- Scratched or dinged up rims against metal chocks
- Warn out tires from rubbing against sharp edges on metal chocks
Traditional wheel chocks often act as wheel guides more than true stabilizers—unless they’re permanently bolted down. And even then, you’re locked into one layout that rarely works when your hauling needs change.
If your trailer has ever felt cramped, cluttered, or constantly changing, you’re not alone.
Why an E-Track Wheel Chock Works Better for Hauling
E-Track systems are built for one purpose: securing loads. That’s why they’re common in enclosed trailers, toy haulers, and more and more truck beds.
Instead of drilling holes into your trailer floor or permanently bolting a wheel chock into one spot, an e-track motorcycle wheel chock gives you:
- A locked-in mounting point
- A clean, unobstructed trailer floor
- The ability to reposition the chock as needed within seconds
- More flexibility when you haul bikes and other gear
That’s the foundation Rad Haul built on—then we refined it for better stability, space, and flexibility.
Rad Haul vs Other E-Track Motorcycle Wheel Chocks: Key Differences
We didn’t design this to just look good in a product photo. We built it because we’ve lived the frustration of hauling setups that waste space, lock you into one layout, and take a beating the minute you load anything besides motorcycles.
Here’s what makes the Rad Haul e-track motorcycle wheel chock the smarter setup:
1) Load Straight or Angled Up to 45° (No Wedges Needed)
Most competitor wheel chocks force a straight-in load and require wedges or extra parts if you want to angle bikes. Rad Haul’s U-shape mounting design lets you load:
- Straight (0°)
- Slightly angled
- Or up to 45°
No wedges. No re-bolting. No extra hardware. Installed in seconds!
If you haul multiple bikes, angled loading is a big deal. It helps you fit more bikes with less handlebar interference and makes your trailer layout far more efficient.
2) Compact, Low-Profile Design That Saves Trailer Space
If you haul anything besides dirt bikes—like a UTV or ATV—you’ve probably experienced this: you leave the chocks mounted, load in the side-by-side, and… crunch. The chock sticks out too far and gets bent or smashed.
Rad Haul’s design stays tight to the wall, so:
- It won’t stick out into your trailer like bulky wheel chocks
- You keep more usable trailer space
- It won’t interfere when you switch to wider machines
It’s a simple design choice that prevents a lot of frustration and potential damage.
3) Adjustable Cleat Height Fits a Wide Range of Tire Sizes
Most wheel chocks claim to be universal… until you load a smaller bike or a bigger ADV bike and realize it’s not.
The adjustable cleat height allows one chock to handle:
- 50cc mini bikes
- 125cc / 250cc dirt bikes
- Full-size 450s
- Many adventure bikes (ADV)
- And more
If you’re hauling mixed bikes—kids’ bikes, buddies’ bikes, your own—it solves a common headache without needing multiple chocks.
4) UHMW Grip Strip Protects Rims and Tires
UHMW stands for Ultra-High Molecular Weight polyethylene—an extremely durable, low-friction poly material designed to reduce wear and protect surfaces.
Bare metal wheel chocks can scratch rims and chew into tires over time. That’s why we added an UHMW grip strip to help:
- Grip the tire securely
- Reduce slipping
- Prevent rim scratches and rubber damage
It’s a small detail, but it adds real protection over the long haul.
5) Stainless Steel Construction with Tie Down Points and Dual-Stage Powder Coat Finish
This isn’t lightweight stamped metal. The chock is built from stainless steel and finished with a dual-stage powder coat to handle real use season after season—without becoming rusty, flimsy, or bent. We added two tied down points on the wheel chock to make securing your bike even easier.
6) E-Track Compatible for Enclosed Trailers and Truck Beds
If you have E-Track installed, you’re ready.
This chock snaps into your trailer wall or truck bed rail and locks in place in seconds. Need to reposition it? Pop it out and move it—just as fast.
Tool-free. No drilling. No permanent layout.

How to Use Our Motorcycle Wheel Chock (Step-by-Step)
1) Make Sure Your E-Track System Is Installed
Most enclosed trailers already have an e-track. If yours doesn’t, installing it is straightforward—just make sure it’s mounted securely to a structural surface (not thin paneling).
2) Snap and Lock the Wheel Chock into the E-Track Rail
Choose your loading position (straight or angled), then press the fittings into the rail and lock them into place. Give the chock a quick tug to confirm it’s fully seated.
3) Roll the Bike into the Wheel Chock
Roll the bike forward until the front tire settles into the chock. The chock cradles the wheel and helps keep the bike upright and centered.
4) Secure the Bike with At Least Two Tie-Down Straps
Secure your handlebars or lower triple clamp area down to side anchor points. Even though the wheel chock stabilizes the bike, you’ll still need at least two straps for safe hauling.
Pro tip: After the first few miles, pull over and re-check strap tension—suspension settling is normal.
