Thule Easyfold XT2 Towbar Mounted Cycle Carrier 

You should literally do product reviews, as you just explained this simply and answered all the questions - no soundtrack, no waffle, perfect!!

This is how reviews ought to be done. Beautifully produced video and exquisitely explained subject matter.

The best review of a bike carrier on youtube! Concise, informative, not rushed, excellent. 🤙🏻 im looking into buying this one.

Came looking for bike rack reviews and who should I see in the search results but my favourite woodworker!

I don't even have bikes but I still watched this entire thing. Love your videos.

Great video and demonstration - thank you so much.

Fantastico! I've ordered mine on the back of this excellent video - thank you.

Most straightforward review I've seen, well done

Thanks for the video which is much better than Thule's own video on this model. You cleared up several questions I had about this model. I'm in Canada and I think the comparable Thule model here is slightly different because we don't have the legislation requiring lights and number plate. Nevertheless, our model is much the same. Many thanks, again, for a superb video!

Finally a good review of the XT model! It was excellent

What a great and well produced video. Thanks so much, really helpful. :-)

Great video, very helpful and useful before I make my purchase. Thanks for taking the time to making / sharing :-)

Thank you for this really interesting and helpful video. We enjoyed watching it and are now sure about our decision which cycle carrier will be the right for us.

That is a nice bit of kit. I don't think I have ever seen a bike carrier in the US that has a mount for the license plate. Good work as always, Peter.

I’m in the process of installing a tow bar on my SUV and was considering which bike rack to use. This has confirmed my initial thoughts about the Easyfold and seems to be a better option to the Velospace. Really good video, very professional, thank you.

Just bought this today , great video and so much easier to follow than the Thule manual that comes with the bike carrier.

Nice clear explanation and no jangling music either!

Better than the official Thule video.

Very clever design. Now I need to get myself a bike!

Awesome! NO one can" pitch" a product like our special woodworking friend Peter Parfitt. If this continues, Heaven alone will tell how sought after you will become Peter. If any one is truly shopping; they WILL buy what you are selling. So different but so needed. Honesty and totally understandable. Truly "Brilliant"! We love you dear man; for what all you have shared with us. To tell you how good you are at presenting ANY product; I do not care for bicycling ah "tall" (as the Brits say); but even I got thrilled and thinking about doing it using this product. Now FEW could achieve that!

Excellent video, everything I needed to know...👍👍👍

Very clear and very thorough .buying one!

Really informative. excellent vid

Brilliant video and review, excellent system ...I bought one as well ...as it's also suitable for fat bike tire width which I needed .....Thank You

Great video. Covered everything I wanted to know

Fantastic review

More reviews like this please Peter! 🙂

Awesome video

Thanks Peter. I'm in the market for one now so will take a look.

Already purchased the rack and wanted a run-through of 'how-to' before using it. An excellent video in all respects + very helpful; reckon you've got the potential for a new TV career! Regards, Graham

Great video just got one help me a lot thank you 👍

Cracking review. Thanks.

That was great, thank you

Great informative video, had my doubts how secure these style of carriers (which just hang on the towball without swivelling around) would be. Nicely explained, thank you.

Great presentation, thank you

Thank you for your prompt reply Peter. I have already purchased the Thule XT2 and agree wholeheartedly that it’s a great piece of kit. Unfortunately it looks as though I’ll have no alternative but to return it though as the leading edge of the hitch clamp is forced down onto the 13pin socket with such pressure that I’m sure it won’t be long before it shatters. I’ve tried to speak with the Technical team at Thule but they can only be contacted via email.

Not the same car Peter, as I have a 2018 BMW X4; but my understanding is that the BMW foldaway electric tow-bar is exactly the same as yours. Like you, I quickly realised the electrical connection needs to be the first and last task when using the carrier. I have only mounted the carrier twice onto my car and it’s already it’s put indentations in the top surface of the electrical socket, with a real fear that it will break the unit. Not to be beaten, I will contact Thule and BMW but I fear it could be back to the ‘drawing board’ for me!

Excellent review Peter. One question that you might be able to answer, would this rack be compatible with plus+ sized tires for MTBs?

Hi Peter , messaged you two weeks ago saying thanks for your great video.Have you heard any stories of the handle splitting as you go from vertical position to horizontal position to lock the rack onto the tow bar ? I've had to return mine to Thule via my Thule dealer in Glasgow.

How do you prevent the locked ball hitch ‘crushing’ down on your electric socket attached to the BMW folding tow hitch?

hi pete my van has a standard towball would i need a swan neck type, my karcher working well and being a woodworker i love you woodwork videos

Hi Peter, we are currently looking into getting a couple more bikes and I've been considering the Thule carriers, this seems to be perfect solution, is it necessary to de-activate the cars rear parking sensors? Cheers Tony. Excellent video as usual, thanks!

Does the ball on your hitch have to be 50mm? Will the Thule Easyfold XT2 handle a 1 7/8" or 2" ball size?

Hi, thanks for the useful video! What's the maximum speed you allowed to drive with i.e. one bike (25kg) if you tested?

I haven't ridden in years but do like to take the grandkids to ride theirs and this would be perfect. And the motorized hitch bar that came out under the bumper is cool. Was that a factory motorized hitch bar? Will have to see if they have a U.S. Model. Thanks Peter.

I will eventually get one but for now the thule doubletrack 2 will do for now.

will this work with theThule T2 Pro XT 2 Bike Add-on

Fantastic review thank you so much for posting it. If carrying just one electric bike does it matter where you carry it? Is it ok to strap it down on the outside furthest from the car? Many thanks again for such a thorough professional review.

My bike still moves around when it is locked on. It slightly swivels around. Is this normal please

One thing I have noticed with this rack is that its virtually impossible to load a small, full suspension bike of the type that has the rear shock mounted upright in front of the seat tube and a sloping down tube, using the small clamp arm. The clamp wants to go exactly where the shock is, or if reversing the clamp, there's not enough room between the seat tube and rear wheel to accommodate the clamp. The head of clamp arm is quite chunky. Also, the clamp arm won't reach the down tube in any position so its a bit of a head scratcher. Reverted to fitting some pipe insulation to the rack arms and used straps. Looks like the rack is designed for standard framed bikes only. Sorry it sounds negative but would recommend potential buyers give this some thought before buying.

Do you have a rack for trikes?

How do you fit the number plate? Please!!

How come it doesn't spin on the swan neck?

Are these available in the US

thankyou best review i have seen

Just have to ask: The number plate looks like a 5-day plate from Dortmund/Germany. How come?

it could be a lot easier .. if someone, somewhere , anywhere ! rather can explain how the number plate is fitted

It's 2023 and I don't have any kind of electric on the back of my car to plug anything into. So I can't buy a rack like this with lights on the back.

thank you sir, best explanations on Youyube
