Absolutely Fantastic

This is the perfect bike rack. Pricey, yes -- but you get what you pay for. Not saying that as a cliche but as coming from someone who made an expensive mistake buying a rack made by another highly reputable brand. It didn't even last a year and half before one of the arms (that pushes against a wheel to hold the bike onto the rack [hydraulic piston-based]) getting stuck and pieces of metal breaking off, rendering the rack unusable. The Epos 2 ratcheting system is so much easier and no less secure. It's relatively light weight and so very easy to put on and take off from my hitch. I love how it folds up like a suitcase and is a breeze move to where I store it in my garage using its wheels. The telescoping arms with a lockable rotating ratcheting mechanism and steel-reinforced straps are very easy to use on the bike frame to securely hold the bike with confidence. The straps ratcheted to both wheels also work great. I also love the integrated signal lights and lighted license plate holder. I couldn't be happier.

Overall, Very Happy But....

I got this about two weeks ago, mounted it and dismounted it one day last week, and put it in full use yesterday. Here's my list of pro's and cons: Pro's: very well made overall, the engineering is outstanding, most of the learning curve is intuitive on how to use it, very adaptable to different bikes, lots of attention to safety. On a scale of 1-10 I would give the "directions" a 9. I was a little hesitant on my first trip to drive on an Interstate highway but I'm over that now. This thing is well made and safe. Cons: I think the directions could be a little better. I had an issue with the crank handle. It has to pivot to crank and it was stuck at the pivot point and I didn't want to break it. I finally gave it more force and it worked. The only other real issue I had was the license plate holder. The directions didn't match the one I had. There were decisions to be made and thankfully I guessed right. And lastly, the key could have been made better. It's not the same level of quality as the rest of it. I'm guessing Thule doesn't make the locks and keys. I'm not sure what it weighs but I'd suggest getting help inserting it in the hitch receiver your first time. It's a little hard to hold it, balance it, line it up, and insert it by yourself. After the 2nd or 3rd time it becomes easier. (I sprayed my receiver with WD-40 which helped). Also, I put 2 E-bikes on it by myself. They're about 70 lbs each and I struggled a little since I didn't buy the ramps. Fortunately, I can remove the batteries from the bikes and that made it much easier. This is a very nice bike rack and I would recommend it. The quality matches the price.

Fantastic E-bike Carrier

Just used it for the first time. It was very simple to install in my Silverado truck. The bikes were easy to put n the rack and locked down good. I felt that my bikes were safe going down the road and love the extra safety from having lights back there.

Good Except For One Issue

I like the rack and the lights but don’t understand why they didn’t build in a way to lock the rack up against the car while not loaded. I can use the tongue release to raise the rack while out riding but nothing holds it in place so I could have it up and make grocery runs while traveling.
