Thule EasyFold XT 3 or Thule VeloSpace XT 3?

[ritzusan]

Hello,

I'm undecided between these 2 models:

Thule EasyFold XT 3
Thule VeloSpace XT 3

Usually I will carry an E-MTB (currently a cube stereo hybrid 2022) and a classic MTB.
In the future maybe 2 E-MTB's. And, if possible, a 3rd MTB.
My car is a classic station wagon.

What do you suggest?
Other than the "foldable feature" any pro/cons should I consider?
Any better alternative?

Thank you

Velospace if you don't need the folding option and have space for storing it (it's big). Velospace has (1.) more space between bikes and (2.) bigger U-frame for fastening bikes. Especially number two makes life (a lot) easier.

I have the velospace, essential if carrying modern mtbs with boost spacing. Works very well.

Now, it’s doesn’t have all the folding doohickeys of the easy fold, but the main vertical frame element does fold flat so I store it flat against the wall of the garage - really doesn’t take up much space.

Thank you all. I ordered a Velospace

Our Buzzrack e-Scorpion 2 easily carries two eBikes, and XL fits no probs. Very well made and a sensible price.

You have to buy longer fat-bike straps.

I finally bought the Velospace XT3 and my bikes fit very well on it. The wheel strings are a little bit short though. I can lock them but it's not easy. I will probably replace them with the longer version. The only thing it's not working are the clamps. I can't hear the "click". I tried to thight them on a iron tube at the limit but no click. Is there any particular way to thight them?
