Platform Bike Rack with Ramp for 2021 Toyota Prius with EcoHitch

Question

Question:

I have a 2021 Toyota Prius and we purchased and installed the EcoHitch class 2 from you. Now looking for a platform rack with ramp and saw the swayman current, would this be a good choice? We have one e-bike and one regular bike. Thank you.

Hey Mare, yes the Swagman Current bike rack part # S76SR would be a great option for a platform bike rack that has a ramp for your 2021 Toyota Prius. This is compatible with Class II hitches like what you have installed on your Prius and is overall nicer bike rack.

Hey Mare, did the Swagman Current bike rack work well for your e-bike and regular bike on your Prius? I'd love to hear your outcome as it could give others confidence when choosing a bike rack for their setup.

@JamesonC It has worked out great! Have used it many times and on one long trip, no movement, feels very secure. At some point we might get the ramp to make it easier to load my e-bike, but I have been managing it. From the Swayman’s own website, they put an e-bike on the outside when using alone, so that is what I have been doing, if I am riding alone. We did purchase the hitch from you also and had it installed.

@Mare Nice! Normally it's recommended to run the e-bike on the inner most set of trays but if you see the manufacturer doing the opposite it is difficult to follow that!
