The Ramp: Best and Worst Feature

I bought this expensive bike rack because it was the only one with a ramp. My precarious back situation doesn't allow me to lift heavy objects, although the posture itself requires lifting weights to secure it. (Stop it, I'm 76!) On my very first attempt to roll my heavy, tired e-bike up the ramp, the ramp fell off and broke in two places. (Plastic plugs on the joints - see photo) I might try super glue but I'm not yet impressed with the build quality. The ramp is attached to the frame with a…

Pros
  • Integrated Bike Rack
Cons
  • Fair

Absolutely the best shelf ever!

I love this stand. I've had several racks in the past and this one is way better than any other. I carry my heavy e-bikes on it and a ramp makes a big difference. gate up? No problem . Even with a heavy bike, you step on the latch from behind and the bikes tip over. Also the fact that you no longer have to bend down and insert the bolt makes it unique and special. You simply plug the device into the receiver and turn the knob, done! And the handle is locked. It took a few tries to properly…

Pros
  • Please read the compatibility guide (in the Product Details section) to ensure it is compatible with your vehicle's towbar.
Cons
  • Available in white only

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…

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

Fantastic bike rack. Worth every penny!

I have had several towbar mounted bike carriers over the years which always required compromises. They weren't well designed, they weren't durable, and they endangered the bikes, the vehicle, and me. I had had enough and was looking for an answer. Here is the answer! First, it works with both 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers. That's important because we have different cars that everyone has. Secondly, thanks to the built-in ramp, it is easy to load, and its connection and attachment is very quick.

Pros
  • Premium high capacity bike carrier ideal for e-bikes and heavy mountain bikes
Cons

Bike rack does not work as advertised when used on e-bikes with fat tires

It pains me to give Thule such a low rating for this bike rack, but in mine Observationally they have lost sight of what Thule is famous for; quality engineering. I bought a rack for two e-bikes specifically to accommodate the weight and size of the tires. My RadPower e-bikes weigh 65 pounds each and are 4 inches tall. fat tires Specs say up to 65 pounds and tires up to 4.7 inches. Thule was chosen for my new bike rack based on my experience with previous Thule racks that I have owned due to…

Pros
  • Quickly mount and secure bikes with torque limiter handles and ratchet straps
Cons
  • Some difficulties
