Thule Electric Bike Rack Compatibility with SUV Trailer Hitch Receivers
Question:
Is there a trailer hitch I need to use with the Thule bike rack carrier for 2 electric bikes Trek Lift + . Im also concerned if there is a small SUV best suited to haul my bikes around ???

Helpful Expert Reply:
For your 2 Electric Trek Lift + bikes, I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Platform Rack # TH903202. This bike rack is compatible with many vehicles that have a Class I, II, III, IV, or V hitch receiver. With the carrier weighing just 40 lbs and each bike weighing 44.8 lbs, you just need a hitch receiver with a total tongue weight of 129.6 lbs. All of hitches on any vehicle will be able to handle this weight, but a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening will be a stronger hitch that will give you a more stable transport. My recommendation is to choose a vehicle based on what you like based on all the other features and then see if it has a 2 inch hitch receiver option.
If you need help once you have narrowed down vehicles, I'd be happy to make a trailer hitch recommendation for you.
