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.

This model is designed to carry 2 bikes . The rack still has a maximum total load capacity of 60kg, including when an additional bike adapter is fitted.

The Epos uses individually adjustable telescopic bike arms that can attach to the frame or rear wheel. This makes it easier to position different bike styles together and gives you more flexibility when carrying e-bikes, mountain bikes and bikes with unusual frame shapes.

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.

Yes, but carbon frames need additional care. The Epos can secure some bikes by the rear wheel rather than clamping the frame. Where the frame is used as the attachment point, Thule recommends using the compatible carbon frame protector. Always follow the bike manufacturer's guidance before clamping a carbon frame.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.
