  • Could Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack Allow Rear Door of Sprinter to Open When Folded
  • The Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack # TH903202 that you referenced can fold down really far with bikes loaded. While we haven't had the chance to test fit it on a Sprinter van like yours we do know that you'd be able to open the rear door at least partially with bikes loaded. Also the width of the bike's pedals and handlebars would have to be considered as well which would be an unknown since not all bikes are the same.

  • The Montague Allston Folding Bike # ALLSTON21 can definitely be transported around with the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU84FR!

  • Folding 4-Bike Platform Bike Rack for 21015 Jeep Wrangler
  • The presence of the spare tire could prevent the bike rack from folding for you. In order to find out for sure, there's a measurement you can take. Measure from the hitch pin hole in the receiver tube rearward until you clear the spare tire. I'll link you to an FAQ article that shows exactly how to take that measurement. When folded, the distance from the hitch pin hole in the shank of the rack to the closest portion of the rack is 9 inches. If the measurement you took is greater than...

  • Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack Will Not Fold Up on 2011 Toyota Sienna with Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Installed
  • I have a solution for you but first a little background information. The 5 inch clearance measurement for the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75237 was taken on a 2015 Toyota Sienna. We haven't had a 2011 in to install this hitch and take that measurement. Another thing is the Swagman XTC4 that you also purchased, # S64665, is only 3-1/2 inches from the center of the pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier when it is folded up. So even if the measurement had been exactly 5 inches it still...

  • Will Thule EasyFold Bike Rack Work on Long Wheelbase Bike
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule and she told me that your 46 inch wheelbase bike would be a little on the big side for the Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 but it would still easily fit and work well. The wheel straps would also work just fine too. They would grab the wheels more towards the center of the bike but they would still be effective there.

  • Is Thule EasyFold Bike Rack Compatible With Nireeka Prime Bike
  • Your Nireeka Prime bike is absolutely compatible with the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202. The clamps on the EasyFold can adjust from 0.8 inches to 3.1 inches, and while I was unable to find the frame width of the Nireeka Prime, I was able to find that its seat post fell within that range (1.2 inches in diameter) so you can use that as an attachment point. Or, if you know the frame width of the Prime and it falls within that range, you can attach the clamps to the frame, though...
