The Thule Axle Mount ezHitch is the universal reference hitch for instantly transforming your second bike into a tow vehicle for your Thule Chariot child trailer. Designed for demanding family cyclists, this rear axle mounting system offers extended compatibility with both quick-release axles and solid axles, ensuring quick and secure installation without modifying the bike.

Versatility and extended compatibility

The ezHitch Cup comes in several versions to meet the needs of all cyclists. Reference 20110720 corresponds to the cup alone (150 g), ideal for replacing a lost part or complementing an existing kit. Version 20100796 includes an extra-long quick-release skewer, allowing complete installation on a new bike. The system is compatible with the entire Thule Chariot range (Cheetah, CX, Cougar, Captain, Corsaire, Cab, Lite, Cross, Sport), as well as with Cadence and Coaster XT trailers.

Installation and use

• Rear axle mounting: The ezHitch cup is positioned on the left side of the axle, between the rear dropout and the axle nut. No special tools required.
• Extra-long quick-release skewer: Supplied in certain versions (20100796), it replaces your original quick release to accommodate the ezHitch cup without loss of rigidity.
• Instant bike change: Once installed on each bike, the cup allows you to hitch and unhitch the trailer in seconds, without disassembly.
• Maximum approved load: Up to 34 kg for single trailers and 45 kg for doubles (children + equipment).

Safety and standards

Thule imposes strict safety standards for all its hitches: the installation must be checked by a qualified mechanic, towing speed must not exceed 25 km/h, and steering angles are limited (45° to the right, 90° to the left). The ezHitch complies with international standards for child transport, with a reinforced aluminum design resistant to dynamic stresses.

Technical advantages

• Featherweight: Only 150 g for the cup, negligible impact on bike weight.
• Aluminum construction: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant for intensive use.
• Universal mounting system: Compatible with 9 mm quick-release axles and standard bolt-on axles.
• Permanent installation: Once mounted, the cup remains in place, ready to receive the trailer at any time.

Applications and usage tips

The ezHitch is designed for multi-bike families wishing to share the use of a Chariot trailer between several cyclists (parents, grandparents). It is also essential for nomadic cyclists using company bikes, rental bikes or bike-sharing systems. For optimal installation, Thule recommends having the tightening torque checked by a professional and testing the system empty before first use with children. The hitch should be cleaned regularly and inspected for any wear or cracks.
