Question:

I would like a product recommendation. I have 2 ebikes both are medium Momentum Vida E+, medium sized frames. Both bikes are low step-through models and they weigh about 50 pounds each less when I remove the batteries. They will be mounted on a 2 inch hitch receiver - either a 2018 Chevy Tahoe or a 2022 RAM Promaster 3500. The cost of both racks is in my price range. Considering their ease of use, security, ease of transport, maneuverability, durability and any other important factors which product would you recommend? Thanks,

The Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH83JV and the Thule Easyfold XT part # TH903202 are both great racks but the rack I would recommend is the Easyfold. It wins because it comes with a ramp built into the rack which makes loading the heavier e-bikes you have much easier. On that alone the Easyfold wins easily but it also folds up when not in use to allow for a smaller footprint when stored but also this features allows it to be more easily installed and removed from a trailer hitch. This also includes locks for the rack to the hitch and for the bikes to the rack.

This rack also has the weight capacity to allow your battery to be left installed in your bikes as well. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
