It's gonna be a platform style bike rack, that holds the bike right up here on the frame so we don't recommend using carbon fiber bikes on this just because of the frame contact. But the good thing about that is these cradles, can spin 360 degrees, and, you can loosen them and adjust them up and down the mast. So, because they're so easily adjustable, it works with these e-bike frames because they are very much alike alternative frames so it's kinda hard to if they had a hook to come down here in the center, it wouldn't work really well with it. more

Yakima OnRamp E-Bike Platform Rack with Ramp Review - 2021 Subaru Forester- Video

Yakima OnRamp E-Bike Platform Rack with Ramp Review - 2021 Subaru Forester

Hi, everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we'll be taking a look at our Yakima OnRamp two-bike platform rack right here on our 2021 Subaru Forester. So the Yakima OnRamp is ideal for if you have extra-heavy electric bikes, and you don't like lifting them up onto your bike rack. That's a bit of an issue for me because we do have heavy bikes here at etrailer, and the height from the ground to where our hitch is on the Subaru Forester can make it an issue to lift it up on there. But also, even your normal bikes are perfectly fine up here on this OnRamp. more

Curt Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hey everybody, how's it going Today, we're gonna be going over the Curt Premium 4 Bike Rack here on our 2019 Subaru Outback. So this is gonna be a great option for you and the family because it allows us to carry up to four bikes. And furthermore, you can kinda notice how our arms sorta taper in at the end here, and the reason for that is a lot of kids bikes don't quite have the frame linked to some of the adults bikes have, like you can see here. Therefore, we're not always able to fit them on the cradles, because they're just spaced too far apart, which is why we have a much narrower spread here that's gonna work great with both adult bikes as well as the kids bikes with the shorter frame. So there's two main types of bike racks out there. We have the platform style and the hanging style which is what we see here. more

So the Hitching Post Pro is gonna be an excellent economical bike rack for you and the family, as it can carry up to four bikes. Now, the Hitching Post Pro is what's known as a hanging style bike rack, meaning we're gonna be carrying the bikes by the top tube here, compared to a platform style bike rack.

Platform, however, allow you to carry heavier bikes, whereas the hanging style, which we have here, is usually limited to about 35lbs. more
