Not for every eBike

Great design but not for every bike. I have a Trek Powerfly 4 eBike which I love. The ramp does make it easier to get the bike on the rack but tough for 1 person. Takes 2 to really guide it up the small included ramp. It helps to have a mallet to hit the ramp into place. The top bar of my eBike has ...

Pros: well built, sturdy (but see cons), attractive, folds easily, easy setup - I didn’t even need to read the instructions. Love the knobs to secure the clamps plus they are keyed so they just spin around when locked, makes it very hard to steal the bikes. Cons: Unlike the other Thule racks, this o...

We already had 2 Ebikes, fat tire, and heavy. We didn't want to remove the battery to travel. So, finding a rack was nearly impossibe. Oh, and one of the bikes is a step thru.

We settled on the Thule easyfold XT 2, after a lot of research.

We haven't traveled with the bikes yet, but we did load them...

Beware of bike damage on bumpy rides!

This rack looks solid, and I used it 1-2 times a month for more than a year with no issues. But recently we drove on a residential street with numerous speed bumps. My speed seemed adequate if I had 2 e-bikes on this rack... Shortly after we found ourseleves on a bridge with cars behind signaling us...

Relatively lightweight with a folding design that collapses for storage or when not in use. The loading process is somewhat complicated and the ramp is too short when used with a truck or Jeep. The bike frame attachment system isn't very adjustable. Lots of plastic and moving parts, we have some dur...

Seems nice for bikes that fit but mine do not

I have two Trek Rail bikes (L and XL) and the frames on both are too thick for the Thule clamps. It's possible to get them on with some creativity but not in a way that feels secure. No after market or clamp extensions seem to exist for it. It's unfortunate because it seems really nice if you have a...

Bike rack does not meet specification claims when used for e-bikes with fat tires

It pains me to give Thule such a low review for this bike rack, but my observation is they missed the mark on what Thule is famous for; quality engineering. I bought the rack for two e-bikes and in particularly to accommodate the weight and tire size. My RadPower e-bikes are 65 lbs each and have 4”....

Sturdy enough for an EV

Bought this for a driving vacation. I have a 33 lb touring bike and wife has an EV which tops out at about 50ish lbs with battery. The rack is rated for 130 lbs so we thought it would work. Rack weighs 45 lbs which is on the heavy side. I can put it into our hitch receiver with a little effort...wif...

Very compact, easy to store if you have limited space but cumbersome to use

Due to my car only having a class 1 hitch with a 1.25” receiver, I had a limited selection when purchasing a platform style bike rack for my Ebike. I also have limited storage space so the compact size and lighter weight was a big part of my decision. I own a step-thru Magnum Cosmo X. (Awesome bike....
