Thule XT Elite Van Bike Rack Dimension It Stands Out from Rear of Vehicle

Updated 07/16/2020 | Published 02/26/2020

Question:

I would like to know the distance from the back of the van to the trays when the trays are folded up against the bike rack. I have a Surco ladder on my Promaster van and am not sure if the trays on the Thule bike rack will hit the ladder when folded up. Ive looked everywhere for a Thule diagram showing this folded tray to back of van distance but found nada. Any help very much appreciated. Regards

The Thule Elite Van XT Rack # TH302013 has a weight capacity of 42 pounds per bike. Most likely your e-bike are quite a bit heavier than this so your best option is going to be with a standard hitch-mounted rack that's designed for this application. I've linked our full selection below.
