Question:
I have a Thule T2 Pro XT Bike rack. Can I adapt the extra long Thule ramp that is designed for the easy fold rack to attach to my rack? Or, any other suggestions for a ramp? My bike is 67 lbs and is too heavy for me to safely lift alone.

Expert Reply:
The Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV is a great bike rack but was designed prior to the whole ramp fad that's now taking hold of the bike rack community so the only way to add a ramp to this rack would be to modify something that fits.
What I recommend doing is switching to the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B instead because it's comparable to the T2 Pro XT but Kuat made the Access Ramp # ANVBRB so you can load your heavy e-bikes easier. This has the 60 lb weight capacity same as your current Thule rack so you will want to remove your battery prior to loading the bike so you don't overload any of the trays. If your e-bike has fat tires then you'll also need the Phat Bike Adapter Kit # APBK so the NV 2.0 can accommodate 4.8" wide tires.
I know this isn't the answer you wanted but it's the best solution out there. If you sell your Thule rack you can put that money towards this new rack that is designed to safely work with a ramp. The Thule brand is known for it's quality products so if switching to a different brand rack has you nervous I can say that Kuat builds racks that compete with the Thule brand when it comes to looks and quality, and that most people who install a Kuat rack tend to never take them off since they look so good.
