T6.1 Ocean 204 4 motion
Can anyone help me with which one of these 3 racks from Thule would allow be to carry 2 electric mountain bikes and still be able to open the boot? I have tried a friends Thule Velospace XT2 and I know that doesn't tilt sufficiently but on the Thule website these seem to be the only 3 current models?

I'm keen not to order one and have to go through the hassle of having to send it back if it doesn't work. Also keen not to have to amend if there is one available that works out of the box.
Van is a T6.1 Ocean 4 motion with VW detachable towbar if that matters.

Thanks

I have an Atera Genio pro advanced sat in my shed, used 4 times. Fits my cali 6.1 with detachable tow bar, if you want to try it. I am just outside Portsmouth, I have sold my 2 electric bikes & the tail gate opens with bikes on. For sale for a reasonable price. If interested contact me. Not answering your question but could save you some money.

Kevin5658, Thanks for coming back to me, I just looked it up online and yes it looks as though it will do the job, only question would be where the bike arms grip, as I haven't bought the bikes yet, I am only at the research stage. Thanks for the offer though, I'll be in touch when I get things sorted and if you still have it then I might be interested. Clearly if someone gets there before me, I understand.
 
I haven’t put it up for sale just saw your post was going to keep it to carry large box with all my extra bits in but just bought a small trailer you can move arms to the sides so i don’t think it would be a problem with any bikes
 
I have an earlier Thule 2 electric bike rated carrier purchased for my ID3. It didn't have the required angle of lean to clear the Cali tailgate so I simply removed the check straps and this allows the bikes to be gently lowered to the ground thus clearing the tailgate.
