both are similarly priced.

I've no experience of the Westfalia carrier however I have the Thule Europower one which we use to transport two ebikes. It is excellent and I can thoroughly recommend it.

Hi Borisd0,

Again, I have the Thule 916, great piece of kit, easy to use.

I don't know about the Westfalia, other than it also looks like a similar quality rack and the has the advantage of folding into a compact size when not in use.

Hi; we have used the Thule 916 for three years without finding any fault with it. We regularly carry two Dutch bikes (batteries removed) and the whole set up seems rock-solid.
The rack is quite heavy and bulky so consider storage. Whichever you decide on - happy e-biking!

I've used a Thule carrier on the back of the motorhome for about 6 years and its been faultless. Earlier model than the Euro and probably better but more awkward.

If I were to change it I'd buy the Towsure one. I have a pal with one and it lightweight, easy to use and the cycle rack wheelbase part is adjustable which is often good with electric bikes which can sometimes be too long for some of the racks. It is also a fair bit cheaper.

Hopefully the link below works
