Question:

Ive got a 2007 Mini Cooper S. Im purchasing the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver 1 1/4. Will this OnRamp LX bicycle rack be compatible with the receiver? Also, Im planning on hauling a Pinarello Dyodo T700 ebike carbon fiber frame 27.5lbs and a Gazelle Arroyo C5 Elite Low-Step ebike with this rack. Will these bikes be compatible with this rack?

Thanks for your reaching out, Don!

The rack and hitch combination you're looking at will in fact work on your Mini Cooper. However, there is a but here.

While the Yakima OnRamp LX part # Y28DJ will be able to work on the EcoHitch part # EH47FR as well as be able to carry your bikes, it may not be the best option for your bikes, mainly your carbon fiber bike. Most carbon fiber bikes are not recommended to be used on a bike rack where the rack would be making contact with the frame like the OnRamp does. I tried to find some information or possible warning for your Pinarello Dyodo T700 but couldn't find anything additional information other than the specs. So you will want to check you the bike manufacturer or any owners manual it may have come with to to see if you can use a rack like the OnRamp.

There are other options available if that's the case!

Hollywood Racks CrossTrack part # HLY48RR will work and does have an optional ramp part # HLY39RR
Thule Verse part # TH74SA would be another great option that also has an option ramp part # TH43VA
Yakima StageTwo part # Y88QD, if you want to stick with the Yakima brand that also has an optional ramp part # Y39VR

Sorry to throw a bunch of part numbers at you but I wanted to make sure you knew what options would work so you could have a look. I personally really like the Yakima StageTwo because it comes with both a hitch and bike lock as well as an anti-rattle knob that is really easy to use.

Let me know what you think of these of it you run into any additional questions.
