I'm looking to buy a new hitch ebike rack to carry 2 Trek Allant+ 7 bikes (with fenders) and considering the following 3 options:
1. Thule Easyfold xt
Cons:
- bike placement is tight
- some bad reviews that this carrier drops bikes (clamp arm issues)
2. Hollywood...
Hey Dallant,
Still waiting for the Hollywood ebike Rack to be back in stock (plan on buying soon as it is in stock). I have a question for you regarding ebike rack covers. Do you cover your ebikes when you travel? I've read a lot of comments regarding the pros and cons of covering vs not...
After researching all the ebike racks I've decided I like the following 2 racks (sturdy and cost).
1. Hollywood Sports Rider SE. $449.00
2. Hollywood Racks RV Rider $569.00 ( a little more expensive, but uses clamps to secure vs. hook)
Both will handle heavy ebikes (80 lbs. / ebike)...
Ok purchased the Trek Allant+ 7 low step and Allant+ 7s stagger. Now next step get trailer hitch on my Honda CRV and find a ebike rack.
Here’s a list of what I found so far:
1. Thule XT EasyFOLD XT
2. Kuat NV 2.0
3. Saris MTR
Looking for the best ebike rack for low step ebike with fenders...
Again thanks for everyone’s feedback.
Would love to get the Allant+ 7s stagger so I could have the extra speed (class 3, 28mph), but should I be worried that class 3 is not legal on Minnesota state bike paths, only class 1 and 2 (20 mph limit)?
I found a trek bike shop with (2) Allant+ 7 low step and (1) Allant+ 7s stagger. Now I just need to decide 2 Allant+ 7 low steps or 1 low step and 1 Allant+ 7s stagger. Plan to buy when they open.
Ok, today my wife and I went out to test ride some bikes, unfortunately it was hard to find ebikes to test ride in our model and size. We were able to ride 1 Trek Allant+ 8 (he also brought out an Electra Vale) and a Gazelle Ultimate T10.
Gazelle Ultimate T10 - Very comfortable bike and rode...
Thanks for the replies, here's the list I'm looking at for now: (going to test ride tomorrow)

Trek Allant+ 7S Stagger $3200 (Motor - Bosch Active Plus, 250 watt, 50 Nm, 20mph) Is this a...
Hi all, just joined this forum and really appreciate all the information on new ebike purchase, but still not sure which bike to purchase. My wife and I are 65 and I have some physical limitations. After reading tons of posts here’s what we’re looking for:
1. Step thru bike, upright ride...
