This rack lets you carry 2 e-bikes up to 65 lbs each on the back of your vehicle. It tilts for cargo area access, it has built-in wheels for easy transport, and includes locks for rack and bikes. It also has a ramp to help you load and unload bikes.
Features:
Specs:
Note: The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the face of the hitch must be 1-1/2" or greater to use this rack.
The EasyFold XT platform-style rack is specifically designed to accommodate e-bikes, freeride bikes, downhill MTBs, and other heavy bikes. The rack has independently adjustable arms that hold your bikes with padded frame clamps. A foot pedal lets you tilt the rack with bikes loaded for access to your vehicle's rear cargo area. The bike ramp folds up for compact storage, and an integrated handle and built-in wheels allow you to easily transport the rack to and from your vehicle. A removable, telescoping aluminum ramp allows easy bike loading and unloading. Locks secure your bikes and the rack, and an integrated hitch pin offers tool-free installation.
The EasyFold XT's dual arms are detachable so you can reposition them along the upright tube to fit bikes of any frame style.
Clamps with built-in TPE pads grab your bikes by the top tubes to ensure safe transport with minimal movement and noise. The clamps can also be rotated to grab bike frames with angled downtubes. The clamps include AcuTight knobs that click when they are tight around your bike frames. This prevents you from damaging your bike by over-tightening the knobs.
The EasyFold XT's molded wheel tray can carry e-bikes, downhill MTBs, and most other heavy bikes. The top half of the wheel tray is made of durable, weather-resistant ABS plastic. The anodized aluminum bottom half provides a rigid outer shell without adding much weight to the rack.
The rack includes an aluminum, telescoping ramp that lets you roll your bikes onto the wheel tray - no heavy lifting required. The ramp fits into grooves at each end of the wheel tray. It extends up to 48", and it stores on board the rack.
Ratcheting wheel straps with quick-release levers let you secure your bike's wheels to the tray. An adapter kit (sold separately) converts the wheel cradle sets for use with your fat bike tires.
The EasyFold XT installs easily in your vehicle's 1-1/4" or 2" hitch. You'll no longer need to find a hitch bolt and clip to hold the rack in place or a wrench to install it.
Just slide the bike rack shank into your hitch and the integrated hitch pin snaps into place in your receiver. Then you simply turn the knob to tighten the shank in your hitch, activating the anti-rattle and removing all the play out of the hitch and bike rack connection.
The EasyFold XT tilts forward with bikes loaded for convenient access to your vehicle's rear cargo area. To tilt the track, just press the foot pedal at the front of the wheel tray. To return it to the upright position, simply push the rack back toward the base until it locks into position with an audible click.
The EasyFold XT's 2-piece wheel tray folds in the middle for convenient storage and transport. The wheel tray folds neatly in half and the shank folds up to produce a compact footprint.
Press the small lever under the base of the rack to fold the shank up. Pull the shank back out until it locks into position when you're ready to use the rack again.
Integrated handles and wheels make the rack easy to transport when it's folded up.
The EasyFold XT includes One-Key System locks in the frame clamp knobs and the AutoAttach hitch pin hand knob so you can secure your bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle.
The One-Key System cylinders are keyed alike so you only need a single key for the rack, and the cylinders can be swapped out if you own other Thule products and want to use the same key to lock them all.

Speaker 1: Here on our test course, we'll start by going through the slalom. This is gonna show us the side to side action. This simulates turning corners or evasively maneuvering. Once we get to the alternating speed bumps, we'll see the twisting action. This will simulate hitting a curb or a pothole or driving over uneven pavement. Once we get to the full speed bumps, we'll see the up and down action.
This will be just like driving in and out of a parking lot, parking garage or driveway.

Finding a bike rack suitable for two ebikes having fenders and rear rack was a challenge. Add in that one bike was a traditional mens bike with a top tube and the other was a traditional women's frame (step through), it took us awhile to decide on the Thule EasyFold XT2 from etrailer who have been fantastic to deal with. The rack arrived on time, and in excellent condition. You can literally take it out of the box and mount it on your vehicle. It look a few minutes to figure out the best way to attach the frame support bars, but because those bars can be removed and repositioned it attaches solidly and there is no movement of the bikes once mounted. Positives: - the rack folds up on the vehicle into a small package when the bikes are not mounted; for storage purposes it is about the size of a suitcase; it is on rollers, when attached and bikes on it, it folds away from the vehicle in a big way and, etrailer had it on sale for $150 less than the original price during Labor Day. There are no negatives - Love it! 564083

Product was exactly what was advertised. Was easy to install and lock. Bikes mount perfectly. It folds up for easy storage. Great product. Jim 571661

Works great. Comes completely assembled. First day I hauled me two E bikes about 40miles and they never moved. I did have to load my bikes a few different ways till I got to where I was satisfied. I ended up facing them in different directions and had to remove the arms that secure the bikes and place them where I thought they would work best. The carrier sticks out about 34" when on the back and doesn't fold in any closer to your vehicle. When your not hauling your bikes it would be best to remove the carrier. Not able to see the carrier when there are no bikes. It did lean out far enough that I was able to open my tail gate completely. I would have given it a five star but the instructions are terrible. So much for the days where things are actually explained instead of pictures. If your reading this then I would suggest you watch there instruction video on you tube. It helps. 561238

This is a great bike rack for heavy bikes. Loading and unloading bikes is relatively easy and the rack itself is compact and detaches from the hitch like a suitcase on rollers. Etrailer offers incredible service and support. 561642

Steve Z yeah did an excellent job of answering my questions and concerns. He was able to guide me to the right rack for my electric bikes. Very happy. 565147

Bike rack seems to be just what I need . Very nice. Easy on and off. etrailer is great and customer service is impeccable !!! Would HIGHLY recommend them. I have bought several different items from them and always them same service. Fantastic! 505837

This is the best bike rack! We have electric bikes, which are heavier that most bikes. Ebikes can weigh in at approximately 50 lbs. This bike rack has a ramp, which allows us to easily roll our bikes right up to the rack, and not have to do the usual heavy lift. The tilt away feature makes it so easy for us to remove items from our vehicle without the need remove the bikes from the rack. Finally, what makes this rack incomparable than any other on the market, is that we can easily fold it up and carry it into the garage! No more ramps, or wheel holders sticking out and consuming the space in our garage. This is an excellent product!! 507806

First the negatives: if you have a aftermarket mid-drive electric beach cruisers to load using the ramp you'll run into a bit of a problem. When loading the first one you'll bottom out mid way up the ramp, meaning the motor hits and you'll need to lift up the back end of the bike to get it up there. Then you'll need to lean the bike toward yourself to get the pedals past the upright black bar that the holders are attached to, this is a bit awkward due to the weight of the bike, the angle and height you are working at. You are probably better off just lifting this style of bike onto the carrier. When loading the second bike you can forget about using the ramp all together due to how narrow the placement is on the carrier between the two bikes. To me this carrier appears to have been designed for lightweight road bikes that have narrow profiles. One of my cruisers has fat 3.5 inch tires. Before purchasing the carrier I did ask one of the experts on the site if I would be required to purchase the extra long tire straps. He said "NO" and that the carrier could accommodate tires up to 4-11/16, well that question has since been modified to read "YES" you do need to purchase the extra long straps. Some positives: The ability to roll the carrier to the car is a nice feature. The way it screws to the hitch and it's ability to lock to the hitch is a plus. The bike clamps feel very secure and gives a peace of mind that your bikes are firmly in place and not going anywhere, even when parked thanks to the locking feature of the clamp. A decent carrier with some flaws. 543216

Great carrier. Easy to mount on the vehicle, and easy to easy to load bikes. I highly recommend this carrier and etrailer.com for their fast shipping and great customer service. One thing that I would like to see would be the Euro light kit offered at a reasonable price. Any handy DIYer could change the wiring plug to a US configuration. It is possible to use aftermarket lights, but none of them look as good as the Euro light setup. 508089

This bike rack is very user friendly, well constructed, and well thought out. I can load my own bike easily using the side ramp and as a 70 year old female that's freedom. The locks make everything so convenient and the click when tightened down is very reassuring when I get on the road and know all is secure. The large handles for tightening also helps at my age. And last but not least to kick to slant the bikes down is genius. 508305

I have had many hitch bike racks but this one is the best by far. Dead easy. Compact folding for storage. Not too heavy but very sturdy. I have a heavy electric bike and the ramp is a godsend. There was a problem with it but etrailer was quick to rectify. Customer service top notch. I consulted online with an expert and he gave me some options. My criteria was heavy bike, may have to do it all alone, compact for storage ,and no worries that either it or my bike will fall off the back of my truck. It’s got locks for security. The fold down option is an added bonus. I can lower the tail gate with the bike on. I hesitated because it is expensive!!! But you will know and appreciate where the extra money went. I tried to get away with less but have thrown so many out I just went with it and I am glad I did. 474520

I've searched high and low for the right back rack that can take all the bikes I plan to haul. Looked at about everything out there and this one is by far the most stable and easy to use. The sway is much less than other racks I've had and the ease of putting it on and off is great. There are other racks I like but if you have fenders, heavy bikes or like the simplicity this is the one to get. 212800
Its still an aweosome rack. I custom mounted brake lights for added safety. Thule could make some improvements to the connection bar, and to offering with lights like it does in Europe.
Wes E - 07/17/2016by: Bruce Sr06/23/2016
Works exactly as described - took me less than 15 mins to unpack and have it mounted to back of minivan and another 5 mins to load my Townie e-bike conversion on it. I am in my 70s and this will save a lot of strain lifting my e-bike above shoulder level to mount on previous rack. Only looked at instructions once to be sure I did not miss a safety tip. placed ramp and rolled on and then off when I arrived at trail head. Very clever engineering, Great product. 264270
Still going great - product is super - ramp could be more robust it twists if bike tire is not absolutely straight when using the ramp

This is EXACTLY what my customers were looking for when wanting a bike rack for their Haibikes, which have fat tires. We also purchased a trailer hitch for their 2016 BMW series 3 sports wagon. etrailer has excellent videos to make attaching and using hitches and bike racks like this. My customer actually had their BMW mechanic watch the etrailer video before installing their hitch, because they wanted to make sure that he installed it correctly. etrailer has EXCELLENT customer service! Each time I've called, I've received terrific (I'm running out of complimentary language) and detailed help in making knowledgeable purchases. 399507

Let me start out by saying that my husband and I are both over 70, and we enjoy riding our electric bikes. One of the major reasons for spending that much money on this bike rack was the ramp, which would allow us to roll the bikes up. In theory, this works, but in practice the ramp is very flimsy aluminum and the hooks which attach it to the rack, can bend and do not fit well!! (we had to replace our ramp after 6 months of occasional use.) I would suggest stronger ramps that could slide into the bottom of the rack after the bikes are on - it is tedious to have to carry the ramp inside the vehicle. The ramp is a very good idea, but with a little imagination and thought, this product could be improved. The rack itself is wonderful. 360452

Product arrived quickly, very well packed and protected. Bike carrier is easy to carry, install and remove from the vehicle. Excellent choice for a heavy ebike. 454363

Great design and engineering from Thule as usual. Suitability and usability for the advertised application is superb. Highly recommend this product. 394733
It has been outstanding for the heavier eBikes. No lifting! And easy securing.
David J - 06/15/2018 by: Linea S.05/04/2017
Great bike rack - easy to use & very stable for our 2 heavy bikes. Now we can go to trails we couldn't reach from our house. Hello FUN! 375929
by: james s.09/23/2016
after carrier got here was little concerned about tire slots..sure would be nice if inserts were made to accommodate up to 4 inch tires... easy to unpack and packaged well. will try it out next week after get back from out of town trip. 298202
by: John06/22/2018
Works great for my ebike plus my mountain bike. The ramp was stuck at first, and it was an effort to get it to slide. After sliding in and out a few times it works fine. 525325

Product was delivered on time and in good condition. I have not used it at this time. 527115
by: Penny2906/06/2018
I was reluctant to buy such an expensive item online. etrailer answered all of my questions and delivery was prompt. They also provided the most reasonable price. We were looking for an easy to manage well built bike rack. This rack fit the bill. Very happy with this shopping experience. 518365
by: Steve05/25/2018
The rack works great for our mountain bikes. Easy to load and unload. The arms to stablize the bikes can be awkward sometimes but nothing that would dissuade me if I had to purchase again. I'm glad I researched the distance between the rack and the hitch under the bumper. Worked out perfect. 512850

Great product at a great price! 518833

This rack works perfectly for an e-bike. The ramp that came with it made pushing the 35 lb bike up to the ramp a piece of cake. 505125
by: Marilyn11/12/2018
After receiving the platform, I was able to install it and load my bike (55 lbs.) all by myself. See attached photo. Note: I am 66 yrs old, 5'2", and 95 lbs. Because of this excellent product's features, I increased my independence in my travels. The instruction book was only pictures, but I called my CSR at etrailers and he answered my questions. What a fabulous company. They are all about customer service and satisfaction. Many thanks, guys. 582302

This bike rack was purchased for my son as a gift. After having the hitch installed by Jeep (which was a bit on the pricey side-but we knew that was coming!) he has used it a lot this past spring, summer and fall. He loves it. It's super easy to hook up and use and holds 2 bikes securely. He is very happy with it. 455808
by: Mike S.07/11/2017
Just right for our two large and long-wheel-base cruiser bikes. Secure, carefree way to carry them to biking trails further from home! 404348
by: Joe G.06/25/2017
Great bicycle carrier and easy to change between receiver hitch sizes. Easy to get the bicycle on and off. It's not the lightest carrier, but I know it will support the weight of my bicycles. This was my second purchase with etrailer and I will be back again for a receiver hitch with my next new car. 398821
by: Tim05/05/2016
This is a terrific product. Perfect for e-bikes, well thought out design (accommodates various bike types and folds for easy storage), and very sturdy. 248585

Haven't had a chance to install the rack yet, but wanted to say that the service, order processing and delivery was top-notch! Thanks Ricky S! Fastest processing and delivery I have ever experienced! I will update with a a review of the product shortly. 184223
by: Mary Barrow12/17/2014
This rack is fantastic. It it well made and will support our new ebikes. It was difficult to find one that would hold 60 lbs on each side but this one will fit the bill. The price was very good and they even matched a lower price at another site. Thanks so much. 165893
