I was going to buy one for my ebike.. I didn't because they are still not doing LED lights.. I have found old style filament bulbs unreliable and my car electronic systems don't like them.. Also replaced my previous Thule with an Alto (German) bike carrier... I had problems with the electrical connections as Thule quality isn't as great as they make it out to be.. I always remove my ebike battery to cut down on the vertical load on the tow bar.. Plus it's easier loading... Still looks good..
so far it has been very good when not in use I store it in its bag/case and sits in the garage , iam overall very impressed with it tho expensive its vey easy to load a bike on it
It can carry two ebike I’ve tried it in both position the car doesn’t handle any different in either position. , it’s easier to load in the furthest position
no its rock solid expensive bit of kit (Halfords best price £600 ,Thule want £717)but bike is very secure ,I've not tried it with two bikes yet but so far very good
I’ve now tried it with two bikes best practice positioning o the ground before mounting on car ) position of pedals and securing bars ) makes life a bit easier and makes on lookers think you know what your doin lol

Many videos for a 2 ebike carrier show the pacing of one bike only. Why is that ?
In case you only transport one bicycle, it must be mounted on the rail closest to the car.

Looks practical. Nice Focus, i did not know St-line comes with chrome window trim.

Hello Gary, thanks for doing the video. I have this rack but can’t get it on my tow ball as I can’t get the lever down horizontal . Any tips? Thanks
Yes try turning the small nob next to the hand lever it should have a plus and negative on it ,
Sorry for taking a while to get back to you ,
Thanks!
Hi, due to its weight, the ebike should be mounted closer to the car

hi just asking do you know if this will hold a fat tyre bike ( Cyrusher Komodo) thanks
Yes I believe it does tho you need to buy longer straps
Will this fit on my 2018 Mercedes Benz e-class sedan?
yes I guess it will fit any car with a tow bar
Hi Gary, I have a Trek with with frimt and back fenders; would I be ok with tnis rack? Ty😊
Yes I have a Tero X5 with full fenders and it works fine
hi I would imagine it would
Single bike should be close to the car.
He also set the front strap against one of the spokes. Tightened straps should not touch the spokes.
Doesn’t make any difference to the handling of the car
@@richardbrownfield5264wow you are very observant aren’t you ?
@@1960garyc not the point...
I am amazed that the connection on the ball hitch is not flimsy ? Is it so reliable that you are not terrified going down the M25 with a heavy ebike ?
