YAKIMA OnRamp 2 Bike Capacity Hitch Mount Rack

This rack is very sturdy, holds the bikes in place perfectly. What sold me on it was that if we ever get ebikes we can still use it. We won’t have to get another rack.

Easy to load with the ramp and stable. My fat tire e Bike barely fits on the tire channels and Yakima does not offer an option for wider channels.. if your bike is heavy then the ramp is a lifesaver and stores neatly on the rack.

This does NOT allow even a 3 inch tire to fit, and the ramps flimsy at best. When I tried to return, I was charged a 50% fee because I had attached it to my hitch just to see if it would fit the bike, which it did not. However, because of that they said it was used. Do not buy this bike rack.

I was so glad to find this on Amazon. 3 years update. It pulled 2 large E bikes over many miles and has held up great on back of pickup we flat tow or on back of motorhome this is a rock solid rack stilll

Everyone else had none is stock anywhere for Ebikes. It’s was a lot of money but let me say you get your money’s worth. We invested in 2 Rad Ebikes. A lot of money and we wanted a super sturdy bike rack to add to rear hitch of Ford Ranger which we flat tow behind motorhome. Not only was this Rac certified to carry behind motorhome hitch it also was the only one certified to be on towed vech behind motorhome. It’s solid as a rock there is no movement on this rack which drivingbon rear of truck. It’s super easy to remove bikes and load them off. It comes with a ramp that attaches to bike rack when not using. The ramp works fine but I am strong enough to lift ebikes in place on rac without ramp. But for someone who does not have the Strenth the ramp could make a big difference to owning the ramp.
The heavy cable goes around both bikes and lock to the hitch pin end. Making the lock a very secure setup. It’s a heavy cable but someone who wants to can with bolt cutters cut it off is anything really secure these days.
We just completed our 1 st 1000 mile pull with the bike rack attached behind pickup which was flat towed behind motorhome and it went just fine. I added a full waterproof cover over bikes which does block out the rear Break and turn signals of truck. So I modified the bike rack by adding skin style trailer lights and a lic plate holder that lights as well so I am legal driving down the road as well as safer so car behind us know when we turn or break. If you don’t use a bike cover I suppose you won’t need to do this. But spending 3 grand on Ebikes I want them covered and no body knowing what I am covering.

Replace older Yakima rack that was hard to lift heavier e-bike on and may not be rated for their weight. See second picture.
New rack had 3 basic adjustments to make it easy to fit, load, and strap down 2 60 lbs e-bikes for stable reliable transport. First was to move the end wheel cradles out to match the wheel base. This required a Phllips screw driver. Second was to position the wheel straps to pull both wheels towards the center at a 45 degree angle. This required a 10 mm box or socket wrench. Since both bikes have the same wheel base I just duplicate the positions on the second rail. Last I staggered the rails to stagger the handlebars so they don’t interfere. In the picture, since I load the bike closest to the SUV first, I moved its rail to the left. When loading the second bike you don’t have to pass the first bike’s handlebars. This adjustment is accomplished by loosening the hand screw knobs on the bottom of th rack.
The non-elastic straps are easy to tighten and release unlike the older rack with rubber straps the required more hand strength than l have. The stabilizer bars and straps are easy to adjust to find good positions to hold the bike upright and maintain separation. Also don’t require cross bar adapter for step over bike. Includes nice cable lock. Optional hitch pin lock should have been included. I think the cable lock can lock to hitch pin but then very inconvenient to take on and off.
Hitch folds up close to car and tilts down with bikes on to allow access to rear hatch but definitely a 2 person job.
Finally the ramp works great to roll the bike up on the ramp. I goose this bike’s throttle to make it an easy 1 person job even with battery installed. Some could just lift the second bike on.
A newer model with higher weight capacity is available but with a discount on my older model it s a great value.
The reason I didn’t set up the rack so the bikes were head to tail is so I can park where I only have to think about the ramp having to stick out one side and many 2 bike covers are designed for both bikes facing the same direction.
Note rated bike weight capacity goes way down if driving off road.

super easy to unbox, setup and install. get a hitch stabilizer to prevent wobble at the hitch. once locked in the open position there still is some play in the pivot point. sturdy with not a lot of plastic. not for wide tires for sure. normal bikes although they say good for e-bikes, i would be skeptical. decent product.
