Question:
Is the Epos 3 w/ lights a good upgrade from my older EasyFold XT 2? We’ve got new e-bikes and need a third slot.
asked by: Rachel
Expert Reply:
Absolutely, Rachel. The Epos 3 bike rack w/lights # TH34FR44SR is essentially Thule’s evolution of the EasyFold XT # TH903202 - same easy load height but now supports 3 bikes, 75 lbs each (max total weight limit of 160lbs), and has integrated LED tail lights for full visibility. The frame/wheel clamp design also avoids touching paint, which your EasyFold couldn’t always do with fenders since that model is just frame mount.
You’ll notice the tilt lever and rolling wheels are smoother too. What kind of bikes do you have, Rachel?
