Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack

I had a Kuat rack in which my bike fell off the rack. I got rid of it in favor of this rack. It is easier to load a bike. I feel the bikes are more secure with 2 fastening points versus one on the Kuat. Plus I got a ramp and locking cable.

This rack is great, allows easy loading and unloading of heavy ebike. Was almost all assembled, just had to bold hitch onto rack, took less than 10 minutes and it was on the car ready to go. Rack seems very sturdy, doesn't have alot of play. It is a bit awkward to lower rack to open tailgait, definitely needs two people to do that but really don't use that feature much. I'm very satisfied with the quality of the rack!

Only giving 4 stars as the hookup is more difficult than our previous Yakima rack. The locking system is difficult to access you almost need to lay under the vehicle to secure. The rack itself was for a new e bike purchase and I still must use an added cross bar to secure bike ( Trek Verve- Woman's). Does not appear to be sturdy but there was zero movement while driving with the prescribed # of vehicles at 55 lbs each. We purchased an addition lock to secure rack to hitch. We also store the drive up ramp in the vehicle as the system bolts it in place but does not lock it. Watch a U-Tube Video to install. Setup took about 20...not mechanically inclined but managed.

I’ve only used it once. Easy to put on and operate! On Ramp is wonderful, so little lifting! The only thing that concerned me is that wheel well arms (x2) seem short! My e bike is 47” hub to hub, and the wheels nearly roll off the ends if not done with caution. Straps at 45 degrees hold it on, tightly, have not gone over bumps with it, but wonder if that is a problem? Otherwise, great rack for 2 electric bikes with easy on and off!
