Expert Answers about Folding Bikes


  • Options for 27 Speed Folding Bikes
  • While we have a number of 27 speed folding bikes, the Highline model you asked about only comes in a 20 speed version, the Montague Paratrooper Highline Folding Bike # HIGHLINE20. For a 27 speed folding bike you have a number of choices, depending on the wheel and frame size you are looking for: 26 Inch Wheels: - Montague Paratrooper Pro Folding Bike - 27 Speed - 16" Aluminum Frame # PROBLK16 - Montague Paratrooper Pro Folding Bike - 27 Speed - 18" Aluminum Frame # PROBLK18 - Montague...

  • Availability of Folding Cargo Carrier with Bike Rack Adapter
  • If you used a folding carrier with a long shank, like the Curt 24 x 60 carrier, part # C18151, the rack should be able to fold up just fine once the bikes are removed. If you're speaking of a combination cargo carrier/bike rack like the # HR1400Z-85, the bike rack portion will fold, but not the cargo carrier. This is the only combination bike rack/cargo carrier we offer. Or, if you have a truck bed, may I suggest the # s64703, the Swagman fork mount bike rack will bolt-on to your truck...

  • Is A Fat Tire Kit Available For Thule EasyFold XT 2 Bike Carrier?
  • You can certainly add fat tire straps to the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202. You would want to use Fat Bike Straps for Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH985101; these can accommodate up to 4-11/16" wide tires. This uses the existing hardware so you won't need anything else.

  • Bike Rack and Loading Ramp Option
  • I have bike rack option with a loading ramp available for you, but the Inno Tire Hold 2 Bike Platform Rack, # INH120 does not have an add-on option for a loading ramp. I suggest the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes, # TH903202. Like the Inno, this is for both 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches but is a frame mount bike rack design instead of holding by wheels. It does have an aluminum ramp with it to assist in loading bikes and it folds up and stores on the bike rack too. Another...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for 2 E-Bikes, Can Fold, and be Used on Flat Towed Vehicle
  • We have a pretty decent selection of bike racks that fit your description. If you're wanting a 2-bike rack like the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR then I recommend using the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR. This has both tilting and folding features, it can be used both on a flat towed vehicle and a motorhome, plus it has an impressive weight rating at 80 lbs per bike. For a 4-bike option you'll need to use something other than the Curt 4-bike racks as they are not approved to use on a vehicle...

  • Hitch Mount Bike Rack to Carry Fat Tire Electric Bikes
  • I do have a solution for you, but while we do have 4-bike racks that work with fat tire bikes, none of them are able to carry 4 bikes that weigh in at 65 - 70 lbs each like what you're talking about. The closest we have is something like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # HR1400Z which only goes up to 50 lbs per bike. Because of this, I believe your best scenario is to fold up 2 of the bikes and put them in the back of your vehicle and then using a bike rack like...

  • Best Hitch-Mount Platform 2-Bike Carrier for Heavy Electric Bikes
  • Thule's EasyFold 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH903202 can handle two e-bikes up to 65-lbs apiece and bike tires up to 2-1/2-inches wide. This rack will fit both 1-1/4-inch and 2-inch hitches. The EasyFold also happens to be a class-leading platform rack for any bikes. Its feature set is superior to almost any other premium quality carrier. It is lightweight - only 45-lbs; it features a handy foot-operated tilt mechanism, built in wheels for easy maneuvering around the garage; it folds up...

  • Can Single Bike Rack Be Loaded On Outside Position of Thule EasyFold
  • In general we recommend you carry a single bike on the bike rack in the position closest to the rear of the vehicle. This just puts a bit less stress and strain on the hitch while traveling. That being said in most situations you would be perfectly fine to load the bike on the outside portion of the rack like the Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 that you mentioned.

  • Cargo Carrier With Bike Rack for Use on 2012 Toyota Highlander
  • I have a carrier by Stromberg Carlson 23x59 Cargo Carrier, part # CC-100. It has a weight capacity of 500 lbs, and offers bike adapter # CC-125 that will carry 2 bikes. While it doesn't fold, you could add or remove the bike adapter as needed. I have attached a link to a product review video for this carrier.

  • Hitch and Hitch Bike Rack for 2018 Chevy Camaro 2-Door Coupe with Spoiler
  • I can help you with a 2-bike carrier solution for your 2018 Camaro but the various bike rack makers such as Thule, Yakima and Kuat have not confirmed any trunk-mount type bike rack fits for the 2018 or 2019 Camaro 2-door coupe. The solution I can offer you is a hitch-mount bike rack, which will naturally require a hitch to be installed on the Camaro. This is not bad news. A hitch bike rack will protect your trunk from scratches and dents from the weight of the loaded rack. It will let...

  • Recommended Platform Bike Rack with a Ramp For Loading and Unloading
  • I recommend checking out the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202, which is the original platform bike rack with a ramp to make loading easier. The EasyFold XT can carry 2 bikes that weigh up to 65-lbs each and this rack tilts away from your vehicle to allow easy access to the rear cargo area. I really like that this rack comes with locks for your bikes and an anti-rattle hitch pin to keep the rack secured to your vehicle, and the ramp folds up for easy storage when not in use. You can also add...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2019 Volkswagen Jetta
  • The available 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch options for your 2019 Jetta include the Curt round tube hitch # C11540 and the Draw-Tite model # 24978. The Curt offers easier installation but its cross tube will be visible under the bumper cover. The Draw-Tite hitch installation requires removal of the entire bumper fascia and the bumper itself but gives you a much more discrete appearance once installed. The linked photo shows the Draw-Tite hitch. Both hitches include all of the required mounting...

  • Is There a Loading Ramp That Can Be Used With the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Bike Rack?
  • The Extra-Long Loading Ramp for Thule EasyFold XT # TH933402 is specifically designed for sliding into the slots on the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202. There is no way to to secure any of the ramps we have to the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR and Hollywood Racks does not currently offer a ramp for their racks. We do have the Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR that has an electric lift that will lower the rack 10-1/2" to make loading heavy bikes easier....

  • Is There Trunk Mounted E-Bike Rack that Can Carry 62 lb E-Bikes
  • Trunk mounted bike racks are all limited to carrying up to 35 lb bikes. For heavier E-bikes you'd need a hitch mounted E-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which has the higher weight capacity.

  • E-Bike Rack and Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Ford Fiesta Hatchback
  • With a hitch installed like the Curt part # C11067 that fits your 2015 Ford Fiesta you'd need to use an E-bike rack like the EasyFold XT part # TH903202 with the fat tire adapters # TH985101. Most e-bike racks can't be used in the 1-1/4 inch hitch size but the EasyFold XT was designed to and due to it having a ramp that pulls out from the rack it is also very easy to load/unload.

  • Single E-Bike Bike Rack Needed for a 63 lb Rad Mini
  • The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR only comes in a 2-bike version but I believe a 2 bike version will be necessary to get the 63 pound capacity that you need. Since you are concerned about lifting your bike, I highly recommend the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # TH903202. The Easyfold has a built in ramp to easily load your bikes. This rack has the 65 pound weight capacity that you will need and can accommodate tires...

  • Platform Bike Rack that Holds Electric Bikes at Frame and is Rated for 60 Pounds Per Bike
  • Thank you for your continued patronage. We greatly appreciate it! There are options for 60 pound bikes that hold the bikes at the frame and that have a center mast that folds down. Saris Freedom # SA4412B rated for 60 pounds per bike, center folds down, holds bikes at frame. That Thule rack is an excellent rack but I agree with you that it is on the expensive side. Rest assured as soon as we get some electric bikes you will see them in videos. Or if you want to drive down to St. Louis...

  • Wiring Connector For European Thule EasyFold Bike Rack On 2014 Mazda CX-5
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule about your Thule EasyFold Bike Rack, part # TH9032. They told me that the models sold in the USA do not come with the 7-pin and 13-pin wiring connector. We do not offer an adapter for European wiring, and my recommendation would be to find a local mechanic or dealer that would be able to provide you with the connector needed for your 2014 Mazda CX-5.

  • Availability of Bike Rack for 1 Bike
  • Unfortunately, Thule doesn't offer a 1 bike version of the # TH93202 EasyFold XT bike rack. For a 1-bike platform type rack, I recommend the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack # RKY87RR. TheRockyMounts HighNoon rack has a 60 lb capacity, so it's perfect for e-bikes, and although it lacks a ramp it's still fairly easy to get a bike on a platform type rack. Lift up the front wheel and place it in the cradle, raise the arm and ratchet it down loosely to hole the bike somewhat upright,...
