Why We Like The Thule Epos 2
Reliable, portable, and easy to use, the Thule Epos 2 is our trusted bike carrier. This well-designed hitch rack holds both our bike and an adventure buddy's bike, tilts out of the way so we can open the trunk, and folds up for storage when it is not hanging out of our 2-inch hitch.

Perfect rack system for our e bikes
We purchased this model for our two e-bikes to transport on the back of our motorhome. It was shipped fast and easy to install. Our heavy bikes were easy to load with the assistance of purchasing the extra ramp system. We like how you can lock the rack at the hitch and lock each bike as well. It’s a good secure system and we felt confident during our travels.

Solid, Well-Engineered Rack for High-Value E-Bikes
The Thule Epos is a truly solid and well-made platform bike rack. It feels exceptionally strong and secure, giving me full confidence when transporting my electric bikes. The bikes remain very stable, even on longer trips or uneven roads. One important feature for e-bike owners is the optional extra-long wheel straps (sold separately) Thule Extra Long Wheel Straps, which are essential for fat tire e-bikes up to 4" wide. I highly recommend getting them if you’re using this rack for wider tires. While the price may seem high at first, it’s absolutely justified by the build quality, ease of use, and peace of mind. When you're transporting expensive electric bikes, a durable and heavy-duty rack like the Thule Epos is worth every dollar to ensure your investment is protected.

Awesome rack
The Epos Bile Rack is great, very easy to use. Only a few comments for improvement. 1. Lock stil requires groveling on the ground to lcck. 2. The hitch assembly doesn’t easily unfold for use and somewhat difficult to manage. Al else is great.

Easy to set up & use!
I purchased this a little over a month ago. I have a 2024 VW GTI. I wanted to use roof bike racks with it, but any roof rack will not allow the sunroof to be opened. I looked around for a hitch bike rack & the epos seemed to check all the boxes. It is built very well, it is very easy to use, putting it on my car is quick, & so is loading my bike on it. I highly recommend it.

Perfect Hitch Rack
The Thule Epos is amazing. Thule thought of everything. It is exceptionally easy to mount. The hitch mount expands to keep the hitch in tight and jiggling down to a minimum. The tire and seat bars move so easily & it folds up in a breeze. It's the best!

Best bike rack!
We have a pair of Townie cruiser electric bikes. After doing extensive research, I decided on purchasing the Thule Epos as I wanted something high quality that would last for years. Our experience so far is that we purchased a very solid rack, easy to store in our garage when not in use, easy to install on the hitch- like 5 minutes and we are off!

Ol' reliable
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Probably the best bike rack on the market for all-around use. Sturdy enough to hold 2 e-bikes and loading them is a breeze. The tilting hitch makes it super easy to open your trunk/tailgate without unloading and when it's time to take if off your car, the folding design with wheels makes storing and moving it around as simple as can be!
