One of the few hobbies that greatly expanded during the
pandemic is E-Bike riding. That's exactly when/why we bought ours as
well. I recently retired, my wife is retiring at the end of the year.
We have a Class A motorhome, towing our Jeep. We wanted to take our
bikes along as well. There are LOTS of bike carriers on the market,
but most are for lightweight bikes, not heavy E-Bikes. I've owned Thule products before. Their roof rack for my kayak was excellent. Used it for more than a decade. Top quality products. Their EasyFold rack is the best on the market, in my humble opinion. No other rack is designed for this weight, has an integrated ramp, is lightweight, folds up very small, has wheels on the bottom, and a grab handle on top. The downside is it is very expensive. But you just paid $3K for two bikes, spend the extra money, get a carrier you won't regret. |
My only disappointment with the carrier is it didn't include tail lights.
The stock setup has reflectors, as shown in the very first picture above.
I 3D printed housings, and purchased LED fixtures from Amazon. These
mount in place of those reflectors. Now the
lights are fully visible, even with the transport cover in place. If
you have a 3D printer, and would like to do the same, here are the design
files:

The hitch stinger has an expanding clamp, which takes all the play out of the hitch. No wobble. It travels smoothly, even at 70 MPH behind the Jeep. |
