Title: Thule XT
Post by: tereit on February 29, 2024, 05:58:28 AM
Does anyone own the Thule easyfold XT ebike platform rack. I saw mostly good reviews, but a few upcoming (https://upcomingslots.com/) seriously bad reviews where people lost their bikes off the back of their suv. Any experience would be appreciated.

Thank you

(https://storage.yandexcloud.net/ds-ods/files/emoji/not-sure-if.png) Hmm... On https://www.thule.com/en-ca/bike-rack/hitch-bike-racks/thule-easyfold-xt-2-_-903202 it sez "Load capacity 60 kg / Max bike weight 30 kg".

Even the stock RadExpand 5 is up to 28 kg, and the others are on the order of 29-34 kg, so you'd be pushing the limits of the rack. Take the batteries off and save 3.5 kg each, but it's still a lot.
