Does the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack Have A 2" Hitch Option

Question

Question:

I have two 47 pound eBikes which both have fenders. Which is the best rack for this. Im looking at the Yamaka On Ramp Bike Rack because it seems to accommodate a frame support. But it appears to come in a 1.25 trailer hitch connection. Is this made with a 2inch receiver and is this a good rack for a fendered bike?

Yes the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes that is made for 2" hitches is going to be Part # Y36FR. It has all the same features as the 1-1/4" hitch version. It will work great with bikes that have fenders. The mounting point is adjustable and mounts to the frame from a central mast so there is not any contact with the top of the wheel where your fenders are. You will also use the straps on the wheel trays/cradles to secure down each wheel.

Such a cool feature to use the ramp for loading and unloading those heavier e-bikes! Take a look at the review I have attached showing the bike rack and ramp in use.

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

Answer 7

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 #SH22G and the NV 2.0 #NV22G that you referenced are both excellent platform-style racks that will hold your bikes by the front wheels with no frame contact. These are top-of-the-line carriers and you really would not go wrong…

Yes, it does. The Hollywood Racks LED Light Bar item #HLY54RR is wired for a 4-way but comes with an adapter that will plug into a 7-way like yours to power the lights.
