Often Wrong, Rarely Uncertain ;-)
I’m looking at hitch mounted racks for my e-bikes and the Thule Easyfold XT looks like it is potentially the best fit for a bike with a step-through frame and fenders. It’s the fenders that are the issue. A 1Up is a possibility; they have a cushion for use with fenders but I’m not sure it’s the best solution.
Getting back to the Thule … looking at the documentation online, Thule specifies a minimum distance of 1.5 inches between the end of the hitch and the hole for the hitch pin. I measured my hitch — OE the Kia hitch that comes with the towing package — and it looks like it is either exactly an inch and a half, or a little less.
So, before I drop a bunch of cash and find out whether or not it’ll work, is anyone using one of these racks with a Kia hitch? Thanks.
