Thule Epos 3

Very easy to put on and take off my car. Once it is fully attached, it does not wiggle. I have used it on overnight trips and it held up very well. I suggest getting the light attachment, my e-bikes make the brake light difficult to see. So the light kit is a big plus.

I grabbed this to accommodate my family's 3 bikes, one of which is a 60 lb. e-bike with tire fenders. As far as I could tell, this is the only rack on the market that could both handle the heavy bike and not use a "tire grabber" like most do (you can't use those on bikes with fenders). I've driven multiple long trips through the Colorado mountains with this loaded up and never had any issue with stability, etc. I also maxed out the weight capacity one day with 3 heavy e-bikes and had no problem whatsoever. It is really well designed and I love how it magically kicks back to swing the bikes out of the way with no effort. Bikes are locked up really well to the rack and the rack locks to your hitch with the same key. I've never felt the need for an additional cable lock but you can use one if you choose. I did add the lighting kit which I'm really glad I did. The peace of mind knowing your brake lights and blinkers are visible on I-70 is well worth it. That kit also includes a mount for your license plate on the very back which keeps police happy. Side warning with the lighting kit: be very careful when installing it to follow the directions exactly when routing the wires underneath. You have to do it in a very specific way with slack at the correct points to make it work right and Thule uses wordless illustrations in their manuals... It just requires some patience and focus to interpret each step properly. Beyond that, I didn't plan on spending over $1000 to get bikes on my car but am really happy with this overall. I actually look forward to using it, its a really cool piece of gear.

Expensive but well worth the investment if you are looking for a high quality and well built carrier for your heavy duty electric mountain e-bikes or any E-Bike that you want to keep secured while transporting. Love it!

Sturdy and well designed. Highly recommended even with e-bikes.

It’s expensive but is easy to use. I needed something that I can easily operate as a not very handy female.
