This bike ramp and rack doesn't fit 3" wide tires (no matter what it says in the owner's manual and advertisements). If your ebikes' tires are more than 2", find another rack.You should probably find another one anyway, because the ramp is extremely flimsy and slides from side to side when attempting to load a heavy bike. Since the track isn't wide enough for most ebikes, you're likely to have the ebike fall on you during loading. If you manage to get it loaded, the ebike may well just hang by the straps if your car goes over a bump in the road since the tracks if your tires are wider than 2". Also, I don't know if it's just me, but does anyone else have to spend 10 minutes working the cotter pin out to lower the rack?It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.Extra ...

They lied. I also managed to get the ebike on the rack (don't ask me how, it definitely wasn't a safe operation) and the tires fit the regular straps just fine. That also proves that my ebike isn't a fat tire bike.

Seemed like the perfect solution to being able to load my bike without assistance, but its design flaw proved too big a hurdle, so I returned it.First, the ramp is too narrow to accommodate my Townie ebike’s wide wheel base comfortably. Second, you must have the space on either side of your car to insert the ramp, which required shuffling cars around in my own driveway and made me realize it may not be possible once I take it to my final destination to ride.Once I loaded the bike and it was time to unload it, it was discovered it was impossible to roll it forward, as the instructions stated, because the pedal can’t clear the center stabilizer pole, nor can the pole be folded down with a bike in place, again because of the pedal.

Second, you must have the space on either side of your car to insert the ramp, which required shuffling cars around in my own driveway and made me realize it may not be possible once I take it to my final destination to ride.Once I loaded the bike and it was time to unload it, it was discovered it was impossible to roll it forward, as the instructions stated, because the pedal can’t clear the center stabilizer pole, nor can the pole be folded down with a bike in place, again because of the pedal. That means you have to roll the bike backwards.Then I decided to see if I could lift the bike and load it without the ramp in the event there wasn’t room for the ramp. I’m an older woman with limited strength, which is precisely why this rack appealed to me. I managed to lift it and even reached the inside base of the rack. But once the bike was in place, it was impossible to raise the stabilizer pole. Okay, take two. Removed it, raised the pole, tried to lift it and place it around the pole. While perhaps not impossible for somebody, it was for me because I didn’t have the strength to maneuver around the pole. It was quite awkward. My wife, who is a bike enthusiast and does have adequate strength, wasn’t able to maneuver the bike around the pole either.A less important but annoying feature is the way you fold the rack down to gain access to the hatch is by pulling a knob out which is located behind and under the rack. I found the location to be awkward compared to other racks I’ve used.It was determined that this bike rack was inadequate for my needs, and we returned it to the store the very same night that we bought it. I am extremely disappointed. A few modifications to the design could make this rack not only adequate but so unique it would could be a game changer. Instead, it’s a piece of junk, in my opinion.

This bike rack is the only one I could find (not sold out) that does allow bikes of all shapes and sizes to be hauled, even bikes with fenders and carriers, as well as step-through frames and electric bikes. It works as advertised - for less strong people, the detachable ramp is a plus. It feels sturdy, but it will move a little back and forth even if installed as intended (in a hitch receiver).The biggest drawback in my mind is that that installation is far from easy - instead of a simple pin, the carrier has to be secured to the hitch receiver with a special bolt, and the instructions call for a very strong torque that is impossible to reach with the included wrenches. The location of the nut that must be torqued is very awkward to reach and, depending on the ...

The location of the nut that must be torqued is very awkward to reach and, depending on the construction of the hitch receiver, it's near-impossible to properly torque it, at least without more or less lying on the ground behind ones car. Same goes for the otherwise clever included lock - it has the keyhole on the wrong side for easy access. Finally, the upper retainers are fairly flexible, but NOT adjustable in length which makes it harder to attach them to a non-standard frame. And to tighten them you have to turn a knob by hand which is rather hard to turn - again leading to significant time and effort needed.Once fully installed, the bike carrier can be easily loaded. It swings up out of the way when not in use, and it can also be lowered to allow access to a rear hatch, but I find it still inconvenient to have it there all the time. Hence the need to re-install it again and again. (The tilt mechanism even works with bikes loaded, but it requires two strong people to use it).All in all, a lot of little details that make this rack less than perfect.
Sturdy, well made rack. Comes almost completely assembled, easy to use.I bought it for my 2 Ride1Up cafe cruisers, and despite what the website says, this rack is not suitable for all e-bikes. I’m confident the rack is strong enough, that’s not the point.It says the rack will hold tires up to 3.25”. Wrong. Here is a picture of my 3” tires, you can see they don’t sit all the way down. It comes with a ramp. Nice idea, but it’s as strong as a wet noodle. As someone else noted, the center support bar is not where it shows in the picture, it’s very far to the left. I'm sure that works for some bikes, but not for mine.Overall I don’t recommend this rack, there are too many aggravating issues for the price. It makes me wonder if the person who designed it has ever ... MoreSturdy, well made rack.

The Bike rack works as advertized and holds both an e-bike and traditional bike firmly. Howeververy, the "SKS" is mis-leadnig. Single Key System would indicate more then indicate more then one lock. Reviews noted a lock for both the bikes and the hitch. This is NOT true. It is one lock. On my 2021 Cheve Pick-up with a factory receiver hitch, there is no way to attach the locking cable to the hitch pin. This is single lock system, not a single key system. There are locks available from Yaselected kima for the hitchpin but it's another $30-$60 plus dollars. One of the princple reasons I purchased this rack was to be able to lock the bick rack to my truck. Without a hitchpin lock the entire rack could be stolen by unscrewing the bolt provided.

I have a Yakima On-Ramp, and honestly, I'm extremely disappointed with it. I have 3 bikes...2 ebikes, and a Specialized Stumpjumper Mountain Bike (non Electric), and this OnRamp only fits 1 of my 3 bikes. It really does not fit any tire more than 2 inches, its only designed for smaller ebikes, and the ramp width is not long enough to have both tires resting on the ramp. The straps are a joke, and must order longer straps, which are not even available. Any longer straps available from Yakima are not compatible with this terrible product. This product is okay if you are transporting smaller bikes, but medium to large bikes, they simply will not fit. I don't understand how the engineers at Yakima did not think of mountain bike transport or bikes with larger tires. I'm ...

I don't understand how the engineers at Yakima did not think of mountain bike transport or bikes with larger tires. I'm so disappointed with this product and Yakima in general (This is my first Yakima purchase), that after my trip, I plan to sell this and replace it with a better product. On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, sadly, I have to give it 1 star and would never recommend this to any of my friends. Yes, its well built and sturdy, but kinda useless too, but I should not have to use third party rachet straps to secure bikes to this ramp when paying $650 for it. It is very easy to use though if you have the right size bike.
So we finally made the plunge and replaced our hybrid 21 speed bikes with Ebikes. But then we discovered that they exceeded the weight rating of our trusty Thule DoubleTrack rack that we loved. So after reviewing all options we opted for the Yakima OnRamp and love it. As we hefted our Ebikes onto our old rack I remarked to my wife that someone should make a rack with some sort of roll-on ramp device and lo an behold Yakima does and it works better than our old Thule in many ways. The "tree" as I call it folds down wonderfully and the Yakima "jaws" to clamp onto the frame of the bike works really well. At first I thought, Yakima didn't include ratcheting clamps for the wheels like Thule does, but after using it a few times, the Yakima wheel straps are way better - ...

The "tree" as I call it folds down wonderfully and the Yakima "jaws" to clamp onto the frame of the bike works really well. At first I thought, Yakima didn't include ratcheting clamps for the wheels like Thule does, but after using it a few times, the Yakima wheel straps are way better - easier to put on and take off and they swing out of the way for loading and unloading. The ramp is great and works from both sides and for us, we just throw it into the back of our crew cab pickup for quick trips. But, and you knew there had to be a but, there is one thing I would change. The "tree" is welded onto the frame on the driver's side of the rack. So for our Ebikes, which are step-through, we've found the best way to load is to have the bikes both facing towards the passenger side of the car - this way the jaw clamps on the tree can grab onto the main frame member that holds the seatpost. But this means we have to load it awkwardly. Naturally, I want to grab my bike from the left side of it - the kickstand side. But to do that and then roll them up the OnRamp means I'm on the wrong side of the bike. I would suggest to Yakima that they allow the tree to slide the way the wheel tracks do so I could have the tree on the passenger side - this would work so much better for my Ebikes and would allow folks to mount the tree at either side. At the very least Yakima could weld it on in the center of the rack. Overall though we think its great - solid as a rock, the roll-on ramp is just the ticket, and the bikes are secure. And unlike our old Thule, this Yakima rack even tips away from the car so you can open the hatch or the tailgate. Price is good too considering competing roll on racks that can hold two 50+ pound Ebikes can cost around $800. Well done Yakima!
The advertisement says fits up to 3 1/2" tires, not even close, maybe a 2" max. My Aventon's do not fit and I am looking for other solutions since this would scare me to take on a long trip. Also the center bar is way off to the left, does not allow for 2 bikes front to front, back to back, or back to front. If the bar had another set of holes so it could be at an angle of 22.5 degrees, you could then get the bikes secured back to front. The ramp is an absolute joke and with it being not wide enough, you have to load these by hand. Wish there was a rack with hydraulic lift so you could roll them on and then up it would go, but for now I need to look to another solution. Yakima has clearly missed the boat this time and is way behind the loop on how to build an e-bike ... MoreThe advertisement says fits up to 3 1/2" tires, not even close, maybe a 2" max.

two pieces broke first use. the plastic bit at the end of the ramp and the keeper leash for the safety pin broke off from the rack. It takes two people to tilt, it is klunky to load, and a contortionist event to secure all the pins and cable lock. The ramp is too narrow for 2.1 inch tires, the straps are too short for even that small of tire, but they'll gladly sell you some that are long enough for some extra $$. How about just putting one size fits all straps on to begin with? What would 8 more inches of plastic cost to manufacture? Ergonomics are not well laid out. the ramp is theoretically a good idea but getting loaded and unloaded is a pain. securing the bikes to the suppport is also fiddly and not well designed. i am returning after just dry running it in the ...
