E-Bike Rack for Blix Sol

Updated 10/28/2020 | Published 10/27/2020

Question:

I need an ebike platform carrier with a ramp that can be used on a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a class C Winnebago both with 2” hitches. I have a Blix Sol with a 50 inch wheel base. I have limited storage space, and cannot lift my 60 lb bike onto a carrier by myself. I am looking at the Thule EZ fold which I believe is rated to work on both. Will my Sol fit safely on this carrier. It says it holds up to a 48” wheelbase, so technically it is over by 2 inches. Is this my best option. Thanks

Since your E-bike has a 50 inch wheelbase the best e-bike rack we have is the Yakima OnRamp part # Y36FR which also has a ramp system built into it and has the weight capacity you need when at the rear of your Cherokee but not at the rear of your motorhome as it's capacity gets reduced to 40 lbs at the rear of an RV. The EasyFold XT has a max wheelbase of 48 inches.

The OnRamp is rated for use at rear of a motorhome whereas the EasyFold XT is not.
