I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

YAKIMA OnRamp E-Bike Hitch Bike Rack

YAKIMA OnRamp E-Bike Hitch Bike Rack

Description

Say goodbye to awkward loading options, and hello to your e-bike’s new best friend. The OnRamp blends simple, efficient design with secure performance, to create a no-compromise rack to ease the challenge of carrying heavier bikes. An integrated ramp lets you roll your ride right into place, adjustable trays reduces bike to bike interference, and conforming frame clamps means it can carry a wide range of bike styles—from e-bikes to town bikes to mountain bikes and fendered-up road bikes—with ease. With a capacity of up to two 66 lbs. bikes you can leave your battery on the bike and hit the road.

Engineered to carry 2 bikes up to 66-lbs each. Integrated ramp for easy, roll-on loading, and stows away neatly. Adjustable frame attachments means you can carry E-Bikes, mountain, road, hybrid, women’s specific, BMX, kids bikes and bikes with fenders with ease. Accommodates tires up to 29x3.25' and up to 27.5x 4.5” wide tires with the FatStrap Kit (sold separately). Accommodates bike wheelbases up to 50”. Integrated SKS (Same Key System) locks included to secure bikes to rack and rack to vehicle receiver. Tilts forward with bikes loaded for trunk access. Adjustable bike trays minimize bike to bike interference.

How widespread is the scratching problem on retraction? Not very good need to order longer straps.

Does this come in a 2 inch receiver hitch? Yes, you just need to be certain to purchase the model with a 2" hitch.

Will it work with step-thru bikes with fenders? Yes. The frame clamps can be adjusted to connect to seat posts or other parts of the frame. We use it with two step-through bikes both of which have fenders and racks. It is a versatile design.

My Yakima OnRamp hitch rack - 1.25 inch doesn't retract without scratching my car. What should I do? You could look at hitch extensions to see if you could move it further from your car body. Hitch extensions reduce the carry capacity of a hitch by 50% so make sure your total weight is ok, it should be.
