Improved Loading Ramp Design Thule EasyFold Bike Rack

Question

Question:

I am interested in purchasing the Thule 9032 for my electric bikes. My concern is the rail to roll up the bikes up into the rack has quite a few negative feedbacks regarding the flimsy material and breaking. Has Thule addressed this? I hate to spend $600 plus and find this to be a problem. What is your comment on this?

Thule actually redesigned the EasyFold with the new part # TH903202 and the ramp is made differently to address the previous issues some people had with them. The picture I attaches shows what the new ramp looks like.

I have a great solution for you for a bike rack with a ramp. Unfortunately, Saris does not make a ramp for the Saris MTY Bike Rack SA4031. We also do not have a bike rack that has a ramp for a single bike. With that being said, we do have a 2-bike…

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…
