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, then lift the rear tire and place and secure it in the rear cradle. Then, tighten down the front hook all the way and you're done.

The rack has several nice features such as a cable lock to secure your bike to the rack and a locking hitch pin to secure the rack to the vehicle. The rack can fold up against the back of the vehicle when it's not in use to lessen the risk of somebody backing into it or tripping over it. The rack is compatible with trailer hitches with a 1-1/4 or a 2 inch receiver tube. I've linked you to a product description video that shows all the features of the rack.

Answer 3

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

To add a class III hitch to your 2024 Honda CR-V hybrid, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item #C13397. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your CR-V with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. I really like this…

Answer 7

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…

Answer 8

The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 #SH22G and the NV 2.0 #NV22G that you referenced are both excellent platform-style racks that will hold your bikes by the front wheels with no frame contact. These are top-of-the-line carriers and you really would not go wrong…

Answer 9

Either the Kuat Tranfer 1 #KU64FR or the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo 1 #RKY10007 would handle the bikes you describe easily. Both would hold the bikes by the tires, so the fact that the rack won't come into contact with the frame will work well…
