Thanks for checking out the video and for the question. I must admit I hadn't heard anything about this so I went down my own You Tube Rabbit Hole to see what I could find. From what I can gather the e-bikes will be fine for short periods of time wen the rack is lowered. Thule, recommend that the Revert is a great optiion for e bikes up to 55 lbs so that could be a limiting factor. Otherwise I think you are safe to go with the Revert as a bike rack option!
What did you guys think of that spring loaded pin that goes into the receiver? I thought it was too flimsy so I'm returning mine after 2 days of ownership. Not sure if it was broken on mine or if it was supposed to be that loose. Didn't feel comfortable that the only thing holding my rack to the car (besides the pressure of the anti-wobble) was a small piece of metal that can bounce right out. Would have been easy for them to just go old school with a hitch pin and clip.
Hey that seems odd that it would be loose or wobble at all. The AutoAttach system Thule uses has been out for a long time now and we have have definitely put it through its paces on the T2 Pro XTR on many logging roads. I can't think of any warranty issues that have ever come through our shops with those either so maybe you had one that was not put together quite right. One thing we missed in the review and took us a while to figure out is how the new style crank arm works to snug it up. It works like a ratchet if you pull the handle outward which makes it much easier to get a snug fit. We also find giving the rack a shake while you turn the crank arm will also help eliminate any wobble. The problem with the old school hitch pin and clip is that its nearly impossible get get the wobble out of the connection without using a threaded pin or anti wobble adapter. Both would require tools. Hope that helps!
@@AQOutdoors Yeah, I saw the AutoAttach in other videos and thought it may just have been my unit or a new design. But thanks for confirming. Pretty great rack besides that issue!
Thanks for doing this video! super helpful!
@@tylorlarson4032 our pleasure...
Great review! Noticed you have assembled the handle upside down :P
@@mixandmatch2019 haha.. nice catch. New to us still.. thanks for the view and the observation..
is this ok for e bikes as i was under the impression with disk brakes they can't really be in an upside down position when the rack is lowered?

Thule strikes again! We should see knock offs on Temu any day now
