So long as the battery is removed before use, then yes, your Magicycle 52v Step-Thru Ebikes can fit on the EasyFold bike rack, though you will need longer straps to accommodate the 4" fat tires. So here is exactly what you'd need:
- Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202
- Fat Bike Straps for Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH985101
The EasyFold XT is a really smart choice for your Magicycle, as its design allows it to work with bikes that have fenders and a step-through frame, and it also offers a plethora of convenience features which makes it the simplest bike rack on the market to use. One of the things that truly separates it from other racks is that it comes with an aluminum ramp that allows you to load up and remove your heavy bike with minimal effort relative to other racks that require you to lift up your bike just to get it on and off.
The rack also completely folds up and has wheels and a handle, so getting it from storage to your vehicle (and vice-versa) is a breeze. It also installs easily in your hitch; tightening with just the twist of a knob. Then once you load up your bikes, it uses padded clamps to grasp the frame and the clamps have an audible click so you know when they are secure. Once you do that and secure the wheel straps you're set to hit the road.
Finally, the EasyFold XT # TH903202 offers security for both the rack and your e-bike due to the 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, which protects your investments in the rack and your bikes.
