Thule EasyFold XT 2 Hitch Bike Rack - E-Bike Compatible - Fits 2" and 1,1/4" receivers - Tool-Free Installation - 130lb Load Capacity | automotive-bike-racks

Facil de montar y desmontar. Los cinchos para sujetar las llantas son algo cortos y los largos tienen un costo adicional, y por cierto muy elevado. Para lo que cuesta los debería incluir tomando en cuenta que este rack se usara en mayor parte para bicis de montaña con llanta grande. Aparte de eso es un producto excelente.

The Thule Easy Fold bike rack can be installed by one person easily and quickly. Also, I like the fact that I can install without having to kneel down; definitely a feature I now consider a necessity, for the sake of my aging knees. When loading heavier E-bikes (pictured), the ramp is a definite asset, and I will continue to use. Unloading, I found it equally easy without the ramp. The only thing that will take some practice is the placement of the bikes with the clamp arms and with the other bike; everything else is intuitive. For the first attempt at securing the bikes, I do recommend having two people, one to hold the bike and the second to install the clamp arm. Also recommend taking a picture after the first loading, so you can see how you have each clamp arm is positioned. I did use the photo (pictured) to perform the second loading, and it was useful, and helped me avoid any trial-and-error. The clamp arms that holds onto the bicycle frame are widely adjustable to accommodate other bikes, but the placement will vary for different bikes or bike combinations, so take a new picture of each new bike or combination of bikes to help recall clamp arm placement. After securing the clamp arms, use the the wheel straps (one per wheel) to finish securing the bikes. Loading is easy, and faster than rack I had been using. Instructions show the rack can be tilted away from the vehicle, with the bicycles in place, to access the rear tailgate. That said, I have tried this with lighter conventional bikes, but not with with heavier E-bikes loaded. Nice to know that rack can handle it, but I do not like with idea of tilting over 100 pounds combined E-bikes weight, so I will likely not use this feature when the E-bikes are loaded on the carrier. I regularly use the tilt feature, but only once I have unloaded the E-bikes, to access my other gear in the cargo compartment of the car. The rack does fold, but it will always be in view of the cars backup sensors when reversing the vehicle. You will need to learn to turn off the vehicles backup alarms when rack is attached. For my wifes newer vehicle, we needed to know how to turn off backup alarm, as well as disabling automatic safety braking (separate functions). This was also true bike rack I had used up to now. When removed from the vehicle and folded, the rack is easy to move. Completely folded, it is about the size of a medium size suitcase, it has wheels and it can be rolled. Like luggage, rolls nice on hard surfaces, but not on grass or gravel. I like the fact that when folded, there are no protruding pieces to smack me or catch or doorways when putting into storage. I don not have a garage, so it is being moved down a tight basement staircase without issue. Prior to purchasing this rack, I had used a hanging-style bike rack, with bike cross-bar adapters for the E-bikes. It worked, but it was unwieldy with the additional weight of the E-bikes, it definitely needed 2 people minimum to load the E-bikes. Even with 2 people, it was difficult and unpleasant to load the E-bikes. With the ease of use with this new rack, I now consider this a must-have bike accessory for anyone considering the move to an E-bike. Of course, you would not need this if you only use your E-bike to commute around your own town or city. Bit you will miss the opportunity to tour other cities or towns on your E-bike.

Rack arrived in a timely fashion. After having watching a detailed video review, I was already familiar with the rack and had it unpacked, attached to my hitch receiver, and bike loaded in 30 mins. Most impressed with the convenient keyed locking system that locks the rack to the hitch, and locks the grab arm to my bike frame. Took a few mins to initially decide where I wanted the grab arm to go for bike #1 and for bike #2. Once that is set up, placing 1 or 2 bikes on there will be much faster. Love the wheels on the unit and the stored ramp. Only minus is that I have to remove the rack from the hitch to fit my car in the garage as it's too long otherwise. If it folded back to the car more, that would not be the case. Overall very pleased with the features, ease of use and look of this unit. Very sturdy and no sway movement when driving. Highly recommend.

My purchase of the THULE bike rack was amazing, great solid design and strength.Really easy to fit to my vehicle tow bar, easy to put our bikes on and a great locking system to keep them safe. Awesome product
