Thule Easy Fold XT vs Hollywood Racks 2 EBike Rack for Heavy Bikes
Updated 10/30/2021 | Published 10/29/2021
Question:
Was set on the getting the Hollywood Racks one that holds 80 lb bikes but that one is not in stock until April. So looking at this one but it only holds 65 per bike. I heard from a friend that a Thule broke from having 2 60 pound ebikes on it. Have you heard of any issues with the Thule handling heavy weight? My 2 Aventon Aventure ebikes weigh 73 pounds each with the battery, but only 63 pounds each with the battery removed. Since 63 is darn close to 65 I am concerned whether Thule can really handle 130 lbs. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Expert Reply:
The Thule EasyFold bike rack, part # TH903202 would work well in your situation as long as you can get the weight of the bikes below the 65 lb/per threshold. As long as you are within the rack's capacity, you'll be fine.
I haven't head any reports of the rack failing with heavier bikes, nor am I seeing any reviews from our customers stating that the rack has failed due to the weight of the bikes. As long as the capacity of the rack isn't exceeded, the rack is installed as outlined in the instructions on a passenger vehicle and not a towed trailer or towed vehicle and the vehicle isn't operated off-road there should be zero issues.
