Helpful Expert Reply:
The Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches # Y28DJ or 2" Hitches # Y88DJ does not require added straps for fat tires, as they are able to fit tires up to 5" wide, though the Thule EasyFold XT - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # TH903202 require additional straps for fat tires, and here is what you'd need:
- Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202
- Fat Bike Straps for Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH985101
While both come with an integrated ramp, the EasyFold XT offers a plethora of convenience features which makes it the simplest bike rack on the market to use, even compared to the Onramp. The first major difference is the installation in your hitch; when you insert the EasyFold in your hitch, you tighten the shank with just the twist of a knob and that's it. The OnRamp requires you to use a hitch bolt that you have to tighten with a wrench.
The EasyFold is also easier to get to and from your vehicle, because - true to its name - it completely folds up and has wheels and a handle that let you easily maneuver it; the OnRamp will require you to take the whole rack on and off as-is. Because it folds up, the EasyFold also takes up much less space in storage.
Finally, the EasyFold XT # TH903202 offers security for both the rack and your e-bike due to the integrated locks in the clamps that secure your bikes to the rack and a lock in the knob that secures the rack to your hitch.
