What E-Bike Bike Carrier w/Ramp Do You Recommend for My 2021 Kia Soul with a 1-1/4 Hitch?
Question:
I have two fenderless e-bikes that I am trying to carry on my 2021 Kia soul with a 1-1/4" class II hitch. What do you recommend? They weigh 55 pounds. I'm also looking for a ramp.

Expert Reply:
For carrying two electric bikes on your 2021 Kia Soul with a 1-1/4" class II hitch installed, I recommend the Yakima OnRamp # Y96FR. Apart from the integrated ramp, the OnRamp includes independently adjusting cradles that will fit virtually almost all frame styles. This eliminates the need of a bike frame adapter bike like the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005. Also, the OnRamp comes with a cable lock that protects the bikes while on the rack. If you want theft-deterrence of the rack itself, that is the Yakima Hitch Lock # Y07235. If your bikes have fat tires wider than 3.25 inches, I recommend the Yakima Fat Tire Straps # Y23FR for each e-bike.
