Built for Real-World Riding

The new Thule EasyFold 3 takes everything people loved about the EasyFold XT 2 and adds more space, strength and smarts. Designed to handle a wider range of bikes - from kids’ rides to heavy e-MTBs. This rack uses an upgraded arm with a pivoting head and strap that locks down frames between 20mm – 90mm securely.

Load, Click, Done

Thule’s click-in / click-out arm makes loading fast and one-hand simple - no wrestling bikes into place. The whole rack folds flat when you’re finished, so it’s easy to stash in the boot or garage. Perfect for riders who want proper gear that just works.

Space for the Whole Crew

Need room for one more? The EasyFold 945100 can switch from a 3-bike to a 4-bike setup using the add-on adapter. Generous wheel spacing and support for longer wheelbases mean even big e-bikes fit comfortably. Ideal for families, trips with the crew - or anyone hauling multiple bikes around NZ.

Smart, Strong and Styled Right

Modern lines, built-in lights and solid construction mean the Thule EasyFold 3 looks as good as it performs. It’s a proper Thule rack through and through — tough, tidy and ready for any road.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Thule 945 EasyFold 3 - Towball Mounted 3 Bike Rack - 945100 carry e-bikes?

Yes. This rack has a total load capacity of 60kg and can carry bikes weighing up to 30kg each. That makes it suitable for most e-bikes, provided each bike and the total combined load stay within those limits. Removing the batteries before loading can make heavier e-bikes easier to handle.

How many bikes does this rack carry?

This model is designed to carry 3 bikes . It can also be expanded to carry a fourth bike using the compatible Thule EasyFold 3 bike adapter, sold separately. The rack still has a maximum total load capacity of 60kg, including when an additional bike adapter is fitted.

How does the EasyFold 3 secure the bikes?

The EasyFold 3 uses adjustable bike arms with padded, pivoting heads and steel-reinforced straps. The arms can be repositioned to suit different frame shapes and sizes, helping keep each bike securely supported during transport.

What bike sizes will fit?

The rack fits bikes with wheel sizes from 16 to 32 inches, wheelbases up to 1350mm and tyres up to 3 inches wide as standard. Wider tyres up to 5 inches can be carried using the appropriate Thule fat-bike or extra-long wheel straps, sold separately.

Is this rack suitable for carbon-frame bikes?

Yes, but carbon frames need additional care. Thule recommends using the compatible carbon frame protector when securing a carbon-frame bike with the rack's bike arms. Always follow the bike manufacturer's guidance before clamping a carbon frame.

Does the rack tilt for rear vehicle access?

Yes. The rack can tilt away from the vehicle with bikes loaded, helping provide access to the rear hatch or boot. Actual clearance depends on the vehicle, towball position and hatch design, so test the movement carefully the first time it is fitted.

Does the rack fold for storage?

Yes. The rack folds into a compact upright shape and includes carrying handles and transport wheels, making it easier to move and store when it is not fitted to the vehicle.

Will it fit my vehicle's towball?

This rack requires an ISO-compliant 50mm towball. Some standard 50mm towballs do not provide the correct shape or clearance for Thule's clamping system, even though the ball diameter is the same.

Your vehicle and towbar must also be rated for the combined weight of the rack and bikes. Check the towball download limit before carrying heavy e-bikes.

Shop ISO-compliant 50mm towballs for Thule bike racks.

Will the rack cover my number plate or rear lights?

The rack includes integrated rear lights with a New Zealand-standard 7-pin flat connector and a dedicated number plate mounting position.

If your vehicle's original registration plate is obscured, you will need to display an official supplementary plate on the rack. Read our NZ supplementary plate guide .

Is a loading ramp available?

Yes. A compatible Thule loading ramp is available separately and lets you roll heavier bikes onto the rack rather than lifting them into position. Check the accessories listed on this page to make sure you select the correct ramp for this model.

How is this bike rack shipped?

Due to its size and weight, this bike rack may be sent by oversize freight rather than standard courier. Available delivery options and any charges will be shown at checkout.
