I really like the Hollywood. It has a good price point at $499. It is really heavy duty to handle heavy bikes. It's not as bad to load as the method she was trying. Have the bike parallel to the hitch and lift it up one wheel at a time. Then just shift it to the back of the rack. We use this several times a week and love it.

Hollywood Racks makes and outstanding product. Are they the most aesthetically pleasing bike racks out there? No. Are the lightest? Again, no. But, they're easy to use, versatile, rugged and reasonably priced which makes them a great choice as far as I'm concerned.

I have an Easyfold XT rack with some broken plastics and I am told that you cannot sell me the replacement parts and I should throw it away and buy a new one. The rack is $1K USD, #SustainabilityFail; #Thule I have been a loyal Thule customer for over 20 years and I am shocked that they would not sell me parts to fix a rack that is a couple months old.

Love the easy fold. One trick I do is put a racket ball between the mount and the pin to keep it open while sliding it into the receiver on my Escape. There is that moment where a third hand is helpful and the racket ball works great. Many things will work sponge, glove etc . I find the racketball quick and easy.

I have the Thule Easy Fold and have used it for 2+ years now. It’s easy to roll around separately, easy to lift onto and off of the hitch and while I do not use the ramp, I can easily load our bikes. Note that this carrier does not fold up close to the back of the car like other racks when not in use so be very careful when backing up. Just guessing here but you probably have 2/ft of bike rack beyond the end of your vehicle at all times. It’s honestly a great rack, well built with good locking mechanisms but if someone is intent on stealing a bike, they will find a way.

All true. Both ends of the rack fold up toward the center to make the rack easier to handle for storage, but it doesn't fold up toward the rear of the vehicle. Remembering that you have about 3 feet of additional length at the back of the vehicle will take some getting used to. www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Bike-Racks/Thule/TH903202.html

Great presentation and I learned a lot. New to biking and trying to figure out what make/model of a bike rack for my ebike. Overwhelmed by all the different racks that are available, especially for a 78 yo with a 55 lb step through bike. You sold me on the Thule - they need to give you a commission - need to monetize this video someway if riders make a buying decision bsed upon your video. Great job.

So which ramp do you use? I was considering the Yakima on-ramp, but reviews are pretty mixed. Now considering the Thule EZfold, but it’s pretty expensive. For ebikes with fenders, I’d prefer to have a center frame mount design.

In this video we just used the ramp that comes with the Thule EZ Fold. Check out the following link to see the longer ramp from Thule. www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Thule/TH933402.html

What about hitch options and sizes?
@etrailer23 күн бұрын
Your best bet would be a 2 inch receiver, because that's what most e-bike racks are compatible with. What's the year/make/model of your vehicle? If you can reply with that info, I'd be happy to make a recommendation for you.

Recommend a rack for a 75lb fat tire e-bike on a Chevy Sonic? Tx!:)
@etrailer Жыл бұрын
A Chevy Sonic would use a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. The E-bike racks we offer with sufficient capacity for a 75 lb bike will only work in a 2 inch hitch. If removing the battery would reduce the bikes weight to no more than 60 lbs, the Thule T1, part # TH9041 would be your best bet. www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Bike-Racks/Thule/TH9041.html
