E-Bike Rack Similar to Hollywood Racks Destination that Has Ramp

Question

Question:

Does this unit come with ramps? We have two Letric xp2.0 step through bikes. Not a fan of lifting a 64 lb bike onto a rack. Any suggestions? Rack will be attached to 2014 and 2021 highlander. Any units with ramp ? thank you

I have a similar solution for you but Hollywood Racks does not offer a ramp for their # HLY64FR that you referenced. Instead we have the Hollywood Racks Destination # HLY66ZR from them which is an E-bike rack that has a ramp that pulls out of the rack to make loading and unloading bikes easier. This will work great with your Letric xp2.0.

I have a great solution for you. Even though the independently-adjusting cradles on the Yakima OnRamp #Y36FR eliminate the need of a bike frame adapter bar, the OnRamp is not safe to use on the back of a flat-towed vehicle. I I confirmed with the…

By the looks of it, Randy, the Yakima OnRamp LX #Y88DJ appears as if it will hit the spare so I'd use a hitch extender #C45791 to push the rack out farther so it won't hit the spare. I'd recommend measuring first to see if you'd even…

For your situation either will work but I like the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches - Driver's Side part #PVD20B that you looked at. This allows the rack to swing to the driver's side rather than the…
