- Why Cant Class II Bike Racks be Used On a Class I Hitch?
- The reason you can't use a class II bike rack like the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y96FR on class I trailer hitches is because most hitch manufacturers design their class I hitches to not accept class II accessories so that the hitch is not overloaded, as class II hitches have higher weight ratings.

- I can absolutely help clear that up for you.
At one point Curt stated that in order to retain warranty coverage for their hitches, the # 18050 support strap needed to be used for non-trailer loads.

The only option we have to carry all 4 bikes is to install a hitch receiver on the Volt and tow the Yakima Rack and Roll # Y08106 behind it carrying the bikes. The Rack and Roll is basically Yakima roof rack on wheels so it can be used to carry a variety of things...
