Verified Purchase:Yes
We bought this rack, along with a trailer hitch, so we could easily transport our 2 e-bikes. Even though we've only used it once (we only got the hitch installed last week), it is easy to attach and operate.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not suitable for 2nd bike if 1st bike is an e-bike

I have an electric bike that has the battery built into the approx. 45° angle down tube. We couldn't find any place on the U shape that would allow for attachment with the long arm to a 2nd traditional bike as the e-bike blocked everything up. To secure the 2nd bike we used the wheel straps and a rope to tie the bike to the frame. Happily it was for short medium medium speed distances, I would not do a highway or long distance trip with a 2nd bike secured in this manner. My positive feeling is that the locking system is terrific.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Short holder bar is too short to secure E-bike
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: KHanson

Clean design and easy to use. The Clamp system length does not work well with Specialized Turbo Vado E bikes, as the reach on the short arm is not long enough to adequately secure the forward bike. The long arm does secure the rear bike well. The short arm needs to be about four inches longer in order to properly grab the forward bike. Thule should produce more variety in arm lengths in order to properly accommodate two e-bikes that both have step over frames. I am considering ordering a replacement long arm, cutting the arm bar to the required length, and cutting and threading the internal rod to length, to allow it to work with my two step-over frame E-Bikes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great carrier! Lousy ramp!
on March 3, 2020
Posted by: Geezer Rider
The carrier is perfect for this 75 year old and his heavy bike a 35 lb Electra Townie with a 16 lb, electric assist Copenhagen Wheel mounted on the back to help me enjoy a lot more years of riding. I'm totally happy with how easily the carrier mounts to the receiver. And very happy with the way the frame clamps and wheel straps keep the bike solidly attached to the carrier.
What I'm really, really unhappy with is the loading ramp an absolute necessity for wheeling a heavy bike like mine up onto the carrier. It's made of aluminum: much too thin and lightweight; prone to twisting and warping; with hooks that easily slip out of their mounting slits in the wheel wells. As far as I'm concerned, light weight is not a necessity for the ramp. Something strong and stable enough to do the job is. Steel comes to mind. Please offer a steel ramp as an accessory!

Need additional tie downs
on March 3, 2020
Posted by: Old Lady biker
We went over a bad bump and the bikes popped out of the Acutight clamps and were dragged behind the truck (the tire wraps held the bike on the platform). We had to get the shifter and grips replaced. We now use additional ties to hold the bikes on. Maybe a design that has clamps that wrap completely around the bike so there is no chance of them popping out.

Clamps are not reliable to secure bikes.

If you travel on smooth pavement this works well. We have been on gravel roads and also had to traverse road construction with small bumps. Twice the bikes have come free from the C clamps fortunately due to bungy cord the bikes did not fall off carrier. For the price this is very unreliable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Handles the weight
on March 3, 2020
Posted by: taxsun
The rack handles the weight perfectly. However, our e bikes were stolen off this rack. Someone jabbed a knife into the lock, twisted and broke the lock allowing the handle to unscrew and open the jaws. Make sure you have a cable lock or something in additional to the cheap Thule locks.

An honest review
on July 23, 2020
Posted by: Mr. Myles
from Los Angeles, California
Easy to attach to car. Ability to easily fold and store..excellent. The platform is way to short for a longer wheel base bike. Straps included are not long enough for a fat tire bike. The cradle is not wide enough for 4 inch tires. And the clamps to hold bikes can be easily jimmied and sometimes will loosen up a bit
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
