It was very easy to put on my hitch. Then I put the ramp on and preceded to load the first of my 2 Pedego Boomerangs. The ramp worked ok. Then I notice a problem with my pedals fitting. It took me about 10 minutes to get this bike secure. When loading my next boomerang I immediately saw a problem. There was not enough room to load because the pedals hit the other bike when using the ramp. Would not recommend for boomerang ebike.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on Thule EasyFold XT bike racks. I am sorry to hear that this rack was not the perfect fit for your Pedego Boomerang bikes. This bike rack is designed to support a wide range of ebikes. Unfortunately, not every style or size of frame can be tested for compatibility due to the wide variety currently available. A Thule representative has reached out for more information on how your bikes are loaded to the rack to see if there are any opportunities to troubleshoot the fit.

Issues with clamps fitting properly it's NOT EASY

I have this for my Specialized E-bike and also sometimes use it for a Specialized standard bike. Some things about it are great- others are not!
1) if you have an ebike- it is VERY difficult to lift it high enough ti fit onto the rack. They have a "ramp" that in the videos looks fantastic but it's too narrow to fit easily and the it's way too steep to actually be useful with a heavy bike. You're more likely to get injured IMO using that than just lifting it.
2) The clamps seem wonderful until you actually try to attach them. The bar moves from place to place and you can adjust them in one direction but not in the other. The clamps need to adjust vertically as well as horizontally in order to be able to PROPERLY clamp onto all bikes. It's got to be EXACTLY in the right place to hold a bike properly. 3) they need to make replacement clamps with larger clamps to fit other areas of bikes that also adjust vertically! Otherwise it is VERY difficult to secure and is probably what led to others complaining about bikes falling off.
It does have some really nice features:
1) it rolls 2) it folds 3) it flips down so you can get into the hatch (assuming your bike won't fall off from not being held on well by the the clamps...)
Bought this rack after speaking with family members who found it to be lighter compared to most hitch racks. Also pretty sturdy driving on the highway. If you have a mountain bike or big tires you need to buy the extension straps. Also wish a brake light was installed but not a deal breaker.
Compre este soporte para mi bici electrica de montaña Gigant, es muy practico y facil de instalar. el unico problema son las barras de sujecion, la corta no alcanza a sujetar la bicicleta y la larga se queda corta, la bicicleta siempre esta inclinada, y no se pueda llevar una segunda bicicleta
I bought the Thule Easy Fold XT as it was the only e-bike capable bike rack that would fit my 2023 Volvo XC60 factory hitch. It is very easy to place in the town hitch and to use. My only negative comment is that the Easy Fold XT does not include lights or is it easy to add a light set. Thule offers a light board that can be placed on the bike of the trailer, it is difficult to place
