Just bought one for my Toyota Camry. It has a 1 1/4 inch receiver. Aventon Ramblas very easy to load and unload, even for me at 5’2” and 75 years old!

Thanks Paul, you did a better explanation than the sales guy at the bike shop where I bought this. :)

Absolutely one of the best ‘how to’ videos I have ever seen. Excellent narration. Excellent camera work. No ‘fat’.

Thank you so much!!

[andreakemp-riggs]

Thank you for actually showing how to unlock the lever for storing, none of the other videos I watched showed that, and I own this already but couldn't remember how to do that part.

[mattgreven]

I tried numerous racks to work with my Aventon e-bike--this one worked right out of the box! Highly recommend.

[rickvitrano]

Thanks for review. New to ebiking, I was researching bike racks tailored to my requirements and you hit all the related points, simplifying my decision to purchase the Thule EZ fold.

[bradleydavidgood]

great job thank you! Looks like a great rack that makes it so much easier to haul heavy bikes, and that makes like so much easier.

[moniqueviau]

Very good explanation. Thank you so much, now I’ll buy this model. 👍🏼

[Soloohara]

perfect video, this guy is a professional, greetings from italy

[ritamethorst]

Thank you so very much for the instructions - I would never have been able to learn this on my own -- and the bike stores I have gone to were not able to help either.

[Rondawg]

Wow. Great explanation ……. Just bought one from Rack attack in Vaughan Ontario today
Thanks

[ritamethorst]

Thank you so very much for the information and the teaching on how to work the Thule Bike rack -- I was totally ignorant and did not know how to install and remove and compact and store the rack --

[billmcgovern]

Great presentation, I'm strongly considering this rack system. Scott makes such beautiful bikes! 😁

Does this offer anything to slow a bike thief down while I'm using the restroom?
Looks like once the straps are removed it's just a matter of twisting and rotating the bike out of the clamps without needing to unscrew them.

[dennismoore]

Enjoyed the video. We have an Toyota FJ Cruiser with a rear door opening left to right. Do you know if the rack allows for sufficient clearance to open the door with bikes attached in the lay down position?

[mellowjammer]

Does the longer ramp still store inside the rack? Regarding connecting the ramp properly to the rack...you seem to have overlooked that you need to push the tab on the ramp in more firmly until it clicks into the rack. This will keep the ramp from accidently becoming disconnected while trying to load/unload your bike.
As this rack and the Epos 2 have a universal 1.25" - 2" hitch compatibility, do you think that a dedicated 2" rack would be less prone to wobble, since the shank never gets necked down to the small 1.25" size? Physics seems to dictate that a dedicated 2" shank (like on the Epos 3) is stronger. And I would rather have stronger than just "good enough".

Thanks for the great video. Do you have any idea if you could open the rear doors on a ford transit van with this rack tilted down?

[stianjarnass]

Hi I just tested my new rack and while tightening down the bike. I kept turning and turning the knob, but I never heard any click. I'm feeling worried if it is secured enough for speedy driving?

[gailcrofton]

I have this rack and am struggling to remove it from my hitch. You make it look smooth but when I unlock the knob for the expansion arm, the knob unscrews and falls off without loosening the expansion arm. Also, the auto latch in your video seems to stay automatically in the open position. Mine does not, therefore it's a two person job with one having to hold the lever out while the other person is lifting the rack out of the hitch if they are even able to slacken off the expansion arm. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for sharing. I just ordered a used but nearly new one from Amazon. The key wasn’t come with the package so I guessed that the key was missing. I tried to order a repair key from the website but I didn’t know the key code of EasyFold XT. Can you share the code with me? Thanks in advance!
