Review on 🚴 Thule EasyFold XT 2 Hitch Bike Rack: Effortless Bike Transportation Made Simple by Matt Chirila

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality e-bike carrier

I have been using this carrier with e-bikes and road bikes for three months now. Compared to the $400 hitch posts I've used in the past, this thing is amazing. I like the quick release mount and its relatively light weight. Having 2 55lb e-bikes makes me feel a bit flexible, but mostly in the hitch. Now I don't worry about it breaking after a dozen rides on rough roads. I like the quick clip and quick strap method as it makes it easy to load my wife's fender bike. My only complaint is that the base of the quick release arms is plastic and I feel like someone could easily break it if they wanted to steal the bike. I always thread a U-lock through the bike and a metal stanchion when I'm going to park it for a while (very rarely). The last thing I like is how easy the wings fold. It takes up way less space than any other shelf I've seen, which is important now that my small garage is filled with bikes and tools :). I've never seen wings tremble like anyone else has complained. I recommend this for those with limited storage and back pain.

Pros
  • Quick and easy assembly without tools
Cons
  • There are defects
