Will Hitch-Mounted 2-Bike T2 Pro XTR Bicycle Carrier Work With ebike And Road Bike

Question:

This is the bike rack recommended for my vehicle. I have one ebike and my husband has a carbon road bike. Can I use this model for my 50# ebike? Thank you

Yes, the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2-Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Tilting # TH83JV will work for your E-bike and your husband's bike as well. The rack provides up to a 60lbs per bike capacity to accommodate heavier ebikes and its ability to mount via the ratcheting hooks and rear wheel cradle means that there is no frame contact required. That's a key consideration for carbon fiber and unique frames like the bike photo you provided (Thank you by the way!) It also accommodates tires up to 5 inches wide. This rack locks to the vehicle and has integrated cable locks for each bike.

If you think you might ever need to carry 3 or 4 bikes, you might consider this same rack in a 4-bike model, the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH69TX. The great thing about this rack is that the extension can be added or removed as needed to make it the 2-bike rack identical to the # TH83JV or a 4 bike rack.

Check out the review videos of these two racks.
