Swagman E-Spec 2-Electric Bike Platform Rack Test Review - 2020 Mazda CX-5

Hi, it's Evangeline from etrailer.com, and today, we are looking at our Swagman E-Spec two-bike platform-style rack here on our 2020 Mazda CX-5. This is a great bike rack, especially if you have your heavy e-bikes. It has a huge weight capacity, and I think it also looks pretty good. The way our bike is mounted to this bike rack is by two wheel straps and a free mount over here. This is a free mounted bike rack, so you can see how they have these hooks with this slight light padding here just to protect your bike. These mounts are lockable. more

Yakima OnRamp E-Bike Platform Rack with Ramp Review - 2020 Mazda CX-5

Hey, everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today, on our 2020 Mazda CX-5, we're gonna be checking out the Yakima OnRamp Platform Style Bike Rack. First impressions of the rack on the back of the Mazda, I think it's a decent fit, you know, it's relatively compact and which is good for a smaller SUV. You don't have a gigantic bike rack back here. And really, this is gonna be set up for e-bikes, so really heavy bikes and that's because it does have a ramp, a little tray that you can put on here and help get the bike on, or take it off. But that doesn't mean that you can't use it with regular-style bikes as well, so even if you just have a hard time or have a real heavy bike like this one here, it makes life a little bit easier which we'll get to in just a second. more
