Will E-Bikes with Front Baskets Work on Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack

Question:

We just purchased a Model C and Model S from the Electric Bike Company. They both have front baskets. I am concerned that the TH903202 can be used with these bikes due to the basket width. Other than that, it is a go. Great video.

The Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack # TH903202 that you referenced is a great carrier for your two Electric Bike Company bikes. Because of how the carrier secures to the bikes with its adjustable padded clamps the baskets on both your bikes shouldn't cause any issues. Keep in mind that when loading the bikes you will alternate their orientation so the baskets won't be knocking in to each other.

The rack can handle two bikes that are up to 65 pounds each and also features an integrated aluminum ramp to help with the loading and unloading process. I have attached a short video demonstration along with an image a happy customer sent in of his bikes loaded, one of which features a similar basket to yours.
