Video Transcript for Ultimate Overview of the Loading Ramp for Swagman Skaha and Escapee Bike Racks

Lifting up your e-bike to load up your bike rack can be really difficult. That's where something like an add-on ramp comes in. This is the Swagman Add-On Ramp and Bridge Kit for their Skaha series or Escapee Bike Rack. What it's gonna do is give you a large ramp and a bridge between the two cradles to easily ramp up and load up your heavy bikes into those bike racks, making the setup process a lot simpler and easier, and you don't have to do any heavy lifting. And with the shallow cradle design, unloading is very simple, too. You don't have to do any lifting, and just kind of pull against the tire, and it'll work its way out.

So, this is a two piece kit: the ramp and the bridge. The first piece of that puzzle that we're gonna talk about is the bridge. That's gonna be the piece that joins together the two cradles on your bike racks. The Skaha series and the Escapee share a very similar design with the very shallow front cradles here. And on the back cradles, there's going to be two indentations, two slots, that this bridge can actually attach into.

The back cradle is going to have two slots here that will line up with two tabs on the bridge kit. And the front cradle is going to line up with these two hook dens on the other end of the bridge. Just feed the hook dens into and around that front tray, that front cradle, and then the back end will just drop in, lining up with those slots and securing in. Now, aside from the tabs at the back, there's really nothing else locking it in, but it is very stable. I'm not getting any side to side movement.

And I'm trying to shake it quite a bit here, so rolling the bike over it, I did feel very confident in it when I was loading it up. Now, the ramp is going to have a very similar design, with two tabs lining up with two slots on the back cradle. And it is expandable. So, there's hand knobs on the back that you can loosen up to slide the whole thing into the expanded position. In it's longest state, coming in at 56 and nine 16ths of an inch, sliding in with those tabs and having a bit of a rubber grip at the bottom to help keep it nice and still.

This ramp is also four and seven eighths of an inch wide, keeping it plenty wide for things like fat tire bikes. The ramp construction is a black powder coated steel. The fact that it's metal is really nice because it's durable, and I trust it whenever I'm wheeling my bikes up here. The weight capacity of it is gonna be 65 pounds, which is actually just a little bit more than what the Escapee and the Skaha are rated for. So, you don't have to worry about your bikes being too heavy for it. You might run into an issue with pedals being a little bit in the way on this second bike here with the wheel hooks, but you can just kind of lift it out of the way there. You're not having to fully lift the bike. And overall, it still makes the hookup process a lot easier. With a bike loaded up, you still can get the ramp out. Those tabs are pretty short, so shouldn't have too many issues getting it undone. Same with the bridge. Just loosen up the hand knobs on the ramp to compact it down. You'll have to find a place in your vehicle for it because it doesn't store on the bike rack, but if you've got a truck like this, throw it in the bed, or it'll fit in the back seat just fine. The whole thing is very thin and compact and can stack up with the bridge. Overall, I think this is a really solid addition to the Skaha series and Escapee bike rack. Whether you are using the Escapee on a motor home and your hitch is really high off the ground so it's hard to lift the bikes that high, or maybe you just want it for a little bit of extra assistance after you arrive, when you're fatigued and not wanting to lift the bikes up into place, something like this can come in really handy to assist you. Of all the ramps and ramped bike racks I've worked with, this one is definitely one of the favorites, because that metal construction on the ramp keeps it solid. It's heavy enough that it kind of weighs itself down and it doesn't shift on you. The width makes it great for a wide variety of different tires, so I didn't feel like anything was rubbing on it. And it's easy to hook up and unhook, and when you have to store it in your vehicle, it doesn't take up much space. But that'll do it for a look at the Swagman Ramp and Bridge Add-On for your Skaha Series and Escapee Bike Rack.

The small piece should be 2” longer, but overhall the ramp works great for my wives electric bike. Now it’s easier for an eighty two old to load & unload our bikes. The one in the picture is my bike just for demonstration . No more lifting the bikes. Great product.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 42' Travel Trailer with Welded-On Hitch Receiver
    The Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks # PVP20B is one of my all-time favorite bike rack accessories, but it unfortunately isn't rated for use on a travel trailer so we need to find you a different solution. I recommend checking out the Swagman Escapee RV Bike Rack # S39SR which is compatible with your bikes as long as they don't have a front fender. I really like this rack because it meets a lot of basic necessities while also being able to handle up to 60 lb bikes...

  • E-Bike Rack Recommendation for Travel Trailer to Carry Aventon 500 and Carbon Frame Bike
    Hey Dave, so the best option for carrying your carbon frame bike and e-bike is the Swagman Escapee part # S39SR with the ramp # S59SR . It has the capacity for carrying an e-bike, is rated for travel trailer use, only touches the bikes by the tires which protects the carbon frame, and works with the Aventon 500 since it doesn't have fenders. The RV rider that was recommended was probably a good faith recommendation because it is for "RVs" but it's not designed for travel trailers which...

  • Thule EasyFold XT Alternative Recommendation to Carry E-Bikes At Back of Travel Trailer
    Thule has gone back and forth about the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 being suitable for use at the back of a travel trailer, but ultimately they've chosen not to give it the okay because they've had reports of the rack becoming damaged due to the exaggerated movement at the back of a trailer. You can technically still use the EasyFold XT on your trailer, but if it becomes damaged then Thule won't consider it a warranty claim. Because of this, I recommend using a rack that's more...

  • Correct Loading Ramp for Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack
    The Loading Ramp for Swagman Skaha and Escapee Bike Racks # S59SR is only going to work with the Swagman Skaha and Escapee bike racks and will not work with your E-Spec bike rack. Instead, you're going to want to check out the Swagman Ramp and Bridge for Swagman Current, E-Spec, and G10 Bike Racks # S32YR which is going to work with your E-Spec.

  • Will The Loading Ramp # S59SR Fit With Escapee Bike Rack Without Notches For Ramp?
    I reached out to Swagman who verified you are still able to use the Loading Ramp # S59SR with your Escapee Bike Rack # S39SR. They mentioned you will have a bit of a hump to get over when going from the rear wheel carrier to the front wheel carrier.

  • Diference Between the Swagman E-Spec and Escapee Bike Racks
    Gordon, the difference between the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR and the Swagman Escapee # S39SR is that the E-Spec has a higher capacity, is about 10 lbs lighter, but will only work with a max wheelbase of 48" (compared to the Escapee which can handle up to 50") other than that, they are basically the same rack. Also, the Escapee # S39SR can have a ramp added on with # S59SR to make loading the bikes easier. Both of these racks will work with 5" wide tires, 2" hitches, and can be keyed alike.

  • Does 2" Adapter on Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack Reduce the Durability and Lifespan
    In a sense, but not necessarily. The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202 is backed by a limited lifetime warranty so as long as it's used within the parameters of the weight capacities and what it's been tested and approved to work on you shouldn't be seeing any issues. The 2" adapter plays a part in the durability of the rack on an RV but not for normal use. When it comes to the RV rating that's kind of a new animal that bike rack manufacturers are trying to tackle....

  • Can Loading Ramp Be Used With Swagman Escapee Bike Rack
    The Swagman Escapee Bike Rack # S39SR is a great solution for e-bikes that don't utilize a front fender. It doesn't come with a ramp but one can be added on: - Loading Ramp for Swagman Skaha and Escapee Bike Racks # S59SR I really like this ramp because it has a bridge in the middle so you aren't "jumping the gap" when loading your heavier bike. The ramp can also be adjusted from 36-7/16" to 56-9/16" so it will fit a wide variety of applications.

  • Bike Rack With Ramps For Both Truck & 5th Wheel Trailer
    Hi Jackie, You definitely made the right choice initially for a bike rack for your truck as well as a 5th wheel or camper by going with the Swagman Escapee RV Bike Rack # S39SR. This is a 2-bike rack as there isn't a 1-bike rack with those same capabilities, and the Escapee does have the option of adding ramps as well for easy loading. For that you'd just need the Loading Ramp for Swagman Skaha and Escapee Bike Racks # S59SR.

  • Does The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Bike Rack # RKY67RR Have A Loading Ramp
    Hey John, The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Bike Rack # RKY67RR unfortunately doesn't have a compatible loading ramp. For a similar wheel mount rack that does have a compatible ramp I recommend the Swagman Skaha 2 Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S67SR. The ramp for this rack is sold separately under part # S59SR. This rack has a 60lb per bike capacity and fits tires up to 5" wide. If you'd like some different features or to switch to a frame mount rack then just let me know and I can look...
