Compact, lightweight, but cumbersome to use
on July 2, 2022
Posted by: HappyBiker

Due to my car only having a class 1 hitch with a 1.25” receiver, I had a limited selection when purchasing a platform style bike rack for my Ebike. I also have limited storage space so the compact size and lighter weight was a big part of my decision. I own a step-thru Magnum Cosmo X. (Awesome bike.) It has 2.35” tires. The tires just fit on this rack. The ramp is somewhat useless because it’s flimsy and moves around when attached to the rack. It’s hard to keep in place. My bike weighs 52 lbs without the battery. When placing it on the rack it does not stay very well in the tracks. Slips around. It’s cumbersome trying to hold a heavy bike still and try strapping down the tires since the track is so shallow. The two grips in the middle are very restrictive to use. These are only designed for bikes with smaller cross bars located at a specific heights. The curved bar that the grips are connected to seems too low. I wasn’t able to connect either grip to my bike’s thicker frame in a way that I’m confident will hold. I ordered a cross bar. Hopefully that will be sufficient. I’m also going to use straps just to be on the safe side. I’ll keep this rack because of it’s size but it wasn’t the best choice for a step-thru model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this bike rack to carry two ebikes. Simple to setup right out of the box. First trip with the new Thule EasyFold XT 2 was from Florida to Michigan. The trip went perfectly. This is a great product and performs as advertised. I would definitely recommend this product.

Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle

I purchased the Easyfold XT 2 rack to hold my wifes RadPower City 5+ EBike (~62lbs) and my Specialized Sirrus 2 (~ 28lbs ) pedal bike.
The rack itself is beautiful and really ingenious.
We have no issues getting our bikes on the rack, and having them sit so there is a small space between them. Excellent.
I always put my wifes bike closest to our Ford Transit Connects back, with my lighter bike further out.
We have a 1.25" receiver.
The bike rack securely and tightly inserts into the receiver - very cool!
The bike rack to receiver connection is very tight and secure feeling.
The problem is the rack itself - the bikes dance around and wiggle around an alarming amount when going down a modestly bumpy road. And if you drive over a small "whoop" in the road, the whole bike rack seemingly flexes a foot forward and aft.
The bikes seem secure on the rack.
The rack seems very secure onto the receiver.
The rack seems very secure onto the receiver.
I just don't have confidence that the amount of wiggling, dancing and flexing the rack has when driving on fairly "normal" roads won't one day cause the metal to finally fatigue and snap.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is the best investment we made for our bikes. Locks everywhere, no one taking the rack out the bikes. Light weight and easily rolls around. Very glad I purchased this one

Outstanding rack for seniors

After much research and purchasing another model rack (that I returned), I purchased one of these. I am in my 70's and have considerable damage to both of my rotator cuffs... which means lifting something as heavy as bike rack is a problem, especially if I am trying to store it by lifting it up to hangon a garage wall. The compact size when folded and the wheels make it SO EASY to roll out to the car and also to return to a spot to store it. Easy to attach to our hitch when needed. It was a real game changer for us.

Purchased to carry two Aventon e-bikes, each weighing 63 lbs. Other than needing to have a hitch installed, this rack is easy to install and remove from my vehicle. Loading and securing these heavy bikes is also simple. It comes with a ramp to help get the bikes up, but I don’t need to use that (at least not yet!).
I would recommend this to a friend!

We Love This Rack!

We recently bought 2 electric bicycles and needed a better rack for them. The EasyFold comfortably handle the two bikes and is easy to store away when not in use. The two wheels make it very easy to move around for my wife. She also finds the included ramp allows her to load her heavier e-bike with ease.
I would recommend this to a friend!
