Fit notes: tires over 3" wide need the optional XXL Fatbike Wheel Straps (good to 4.7"), and carbon frames want the frame adapter. Locks are included both ways — bikes to rack, rack to car.
The Bike Cave Verdict
Ben's Take
Gear-pick status: this one made the list from the spec sheet, not a Cave test. Here's the thing about ebikes and car racks: deadlifting a 65-pound bike to bumper height is how backs and paint jobs get wrecked. The EasyFold starts from that problem — 65 lb per tray, a ramp that lives inside the rack so you roll bikes up instead of lifting them, and a foot-pedal tilt so the hatch still opens with both bikes on. Then the whole thing folds down to 31 inches with wheels and a carry handle. It costs a grand, which stings. It's also the rack that does all of it.
