Hey, it's Ethan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Swagman E-Spec Hitch Bike Rack and how it fits on our 2018 Ford Escape. The E-Spec is really popular because it works with your flat-tow vehicles, motor homes, travel trailers, and fifth wheels, and it has a weight capacity of up to 70-pounds per-bike. So it's very useful for your e-bikes and it's rated for all of those purposes. So let's check out how it works.

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Ford Escape- Video
Rob: Rob here at etrailer.com, and today you're going to be taking a look at the Thule Helium Pro 2 bike rack carrier, on our 2018 Ford Escape. Our Thule Helium Pro is going to allow us to carry two bikes in the back of our Escape and alleviate the problems of trying to cram our bikes into the back hatch or having to reach way above our heads to put our bikes on top of the roof. It's going to be a lot easier and a lot safer getting our bikes to and from the trails.Our bike is going to be held down by three points of contact. We're going to have two on the top cross tube here, then we're going to have one on the vertical support and that's going to help keep it from swaying too much and prevent any kind of bike to bike contact. But let's go ahead and pull our bike off so we can get a closer look. If we come to the cradle, we'll just push in on the button and we can start feeding the strap through.Once we have all the straps loosened, we can take our bike off and we'll set it aside for right now. more
