Can Thule EasyFold E-Bike Rack Carry Aventon E-Bike
Question:
HI I have two step through Aventon adventure bikes and went to an Orlando florida bike shop with one of the EVs to see which rack would be best, We ended up with the Yakima stage two and upon setting it up ourselves was very disappointed in it as the mechanism that was supposed to hold the rack inside the receiver did not work, and the pin that they include with the rack only goes through receiver half way. SOOO, my guy drilled hole through the hitch so we could take our trip. The j locks did not lock down, and all in all the rack was not what we expected for $1,000. Over the weekend I was rear ended, and the rack did save my Tesla from alot of damage, and did quite a job on the guys Toyota truck! Now I can get a new rack! Can you send me a photo of the EZ fold with my style bike on it and how do the adapter bars work? Would we need one for each bike? Thanks!!

Expert Reply:
The Thule EasyFold XT part # TH03202 would be a great rack to use with your Aventon e-bikes but to use it without an adapter bar would require your frame to be less than 3-1/8 inches thick. Yours looks pretty thick so I would recommend measuring. If it's wider than that you'd need to use an adapter bar like the part # UB01 which would connect to the steering stem and the seat post of the bike and give the rack something narrower it can grab onto. I attached a review video for this adapter that shows how it works as well as a review video for the bike rack.
