Best E-Bike Rack Recommendation for 1-1/4 inch Hitch
Question:
I would like a recommendation on which 2 hitch mounted bike rack would work for my 2018 Forester. I have 2 step through ebikes at about 57#. They have fenders and 27.5 wheels. I want to have the tilt/fold feature and dont want the 1-1/4 adapted to 2. It would be nice to have keyed alike bike and hitch locks

Expert Reply:
For what you are looking for the best e-bike rack is the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 as it fits directly to the 2 inch hitch you have on your 2018 Subaru Forester, has the weight capacity needed, grabs the bikes by the frames so your fenders wouldn't be an issue, can tilt/fold, comes with locks for the bikes and to the hitch, and also comes with a pull out ramp to make loading/unloading bikes easier.
This does fit both hitch sizes but we've found that it's very stable. You can check out the test course video I attached to see how stable it is on the road as well.
I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
