Best Bike Rack With Ramp for E-Bike That is Easy to Install on Car
Question:
I just bought an ebike at REI that weighs 50 lbs. I have a 2014 Lexus 450H. It has a 2 inch hitch. I want to be able to open the hatch. I need a rack with a ramp so I can wheel the bike up because I cant lift it. I think it has to be a platform rack because the bike is too heavy to hang by the frame. It would be good if it didnt need to be attached to the car all the time...like in winter when I am not riding. So ease in attaching to the car would be helpful Advice?

There is one bike rack that is absolutely perfect for your needs - it has the capacity for your heavy e-bike, comes with a ramp, and couldn't be easier to install on your car; that rack is the Thule EasyFold XT 2-Bike Rack # TH903202.
It comes with an aluminum ramp so you can easily load your bike, has a 65 lb per-bike weight capacity, and there isn't an easier rack on the market to install in your hitch. First, you can easily get it from your storage area to your vehicle because it has wheels on the bottom when it's folded up so you can simply roll it to your Lexus. Then you just put the shank in the hitch, turn a knob to tighten it in the receiver...and that's it!
The EasyFold XT also gives you security and peace of mind due to its integrated locks in the clamps that secure your bikes to the rack, and a lock in the knob that secures the rack to your hitch. For simplicity in all areas - from installation to loading your bikes to security - there isn't a better rack than the Thule EasyFold XT 2-Bike Rack # TH903202.
