Compatibility of Thule TH903202 EasyFold XT Bike Rack With 2017 Infiniti QX50

Question:

I am interested is the Thule Easy fold for 2 ebikes. I have a Rad Mission and Rad City, both with fenders. I want to make sure this hitch will work with my bikes. Also, can you confirm it will work for a 2017 Infiniti QX50. The hitch receiver will be 1 1/4 inch Rec Class 1 hitch Max weight: 1,500 lbs.

The Thule # TH903202 EasyFold XT would work perfectly in the Curt Class I hitch, part # C11510 IF the combined weight of the bikes and the 45 lb bike rack is less than the hitch's 150 lb tongue weight capacity.

The rack itself weighs 45 lbs, which would leave you 105 lbs capacity remaining for the bikes. According to the Rad Power Bikes website, the City weighs 64 lbs and the Mission weighs 48. If you can reduce the weight of the bikes by removing the batteries before placing them on the rack, which should save between 10-20 lbs, you'll come in under the 150 lb hitch tongue weight capacity and everything will work well together.

The Easy Fold has tons of great features. It includes an integrated loading ramp, and due to its design just about any type of bike will fit on it because the cradles can be adjusted to hold the bike from the top tube or at any point on the seat post tube for tons of flexibility. The rack even has wheels on it which makes it super-easy to transport when it isn't installed on the vehicle.

I've linked to an install video for the hitch as well as a demonstration video for the # TH903202 EasyFold bike rack.
