Love this ramp! This makes loading our bikes so much easier. This is also my 2nd purchase from Outfiter’s, notice the bike rack in the pic. 😉
Set up took a little longer due to spare tire location. But diversity in set up cured that issue
Perfect for what I need. I ordered the single bike rack with the ramp for an e-bike that weights 55 pounds. My engineer husband says that it is technically very well made. It takes a lot to impress him, so this is saying something. I recommend practicing getting the bike up and fastened down a few times before taking it out where you need to unload. I usually don't put the ramp back on the rack but just put in it my Jeep so it is easily available. The foldable feature is awesome. Keeps the rack tucked out of the way when not in use. A friend recommended this brand of rack and I am extremely pleased with it. I usually don't do reviews, but felt I needed to for this rack since I am so happy with it.
It was very easy to assemble and very sturdy. The bikes stay in place. I just ordered the ramp to go with it.
It works great on the back of my fifth wheel too.
The rack is easy to assemble and easy to load. Just wish it has some locking devices. Also, it is a little floppy and I'm gonna install a bolt instead of the pin in the tilt hole to snug it up. I do like the flexibility for the center arm to attach to the bike. All in all, you get a good unit at a good price
Easy to put together and mount and it holds our mountain bikes securely. Simple operation and easy to adjust. No bounce with the optional hitch securing device we purchased.
This is a great addition to my new hobby. I am a senior citizen and I find this product to be exactly what I needed. Thanks OutFitR
This is a great product! Holds both bikes in place and with the solid bolt through the hitch it minimizes vibration.
I highly recommend!
It looks like the front wheel holder was installed upside down. Please flip it over to ensure a secure and proper fit.
Three issues presented themselves. First the clamp that holds the stem of the bike is in the way when you're loading the bike. Taking it off, loading the bike, then putting it back on - is a bit tricky.
Second, the bar in the front that the front tire has to roll up & over before dropping into the wheel "basket" takes either momentum, or a taller person to lift the tire up & over. A short ramp on the rail would be a bonus. I'm 5'1" & the bike is well above my head when it's loaded.
Third, one of the rails completely hides our license plate when the rack is in the up position.
Otherwise, the rack is sturdy, the rails are plenty wide enough & the ease of dropping the rack down is great.
Gave my Hollywood rack away. People don't waste your time with these other inferior, unsafe racks. Get a quality rack from outfitr, the Heavy duty rack, ramp combo is all you'll ever need. It also fold down if bikes are loaded if you need to access the hatch/tailgate on your SUV or truck.
Aluminum tracks and square tube frame are solid and well built. The stud that attaches the ramp to the frame is crooked so the ramp tilts. The straps come loose in 30 miles.
Great item! Easy to assemble, and very solidly built! First time traveling with two bikes, no wobbly or bouncing movement! Easy to load the bikes. The support system is simple but very strong and supportive!
It holds two fat tire e-bikes great. Only complaint is the threaded hitch pin. Swapped it out for standard pin so we could remove the rack easier. Very happy with the purchase.
This bike rack is very sturdy and well built. I have a very heavy ebike that weighs 93 lbs without the battery. This is my 3rd rack and the last one I'll ever need because this is perfect for me especially getting another ebike. Easy to put together.
The rack works very well. Keeps our bikes nice and tight. I like the center post option to stabilize the bikes. I added rear tail lights because at times we cover them while towing our Jeep Wrangler behind our RV. I also added a cable and lock system for safety as we travel.
I upgraded my bike rack with this new one from Outfitr’s from my 1 inch one and it was vast improvement. I traveled from from Virginia to Florida with my old 1 inch rack and I was a nervous wreck the whole time because of how it bounced and rocked back and forth and I was worried my bikes would fall off and into traffic behind me. I put this new bike rack on and gave it a test ride and I couldn’t be more pleased with how little it moved. Total peace of mind and just in time for vacation back to Florida again this year!
This is a solid piece of equipment...ease of loading your bike is 5-star. The 3 secure points are very easy to operate and hold very tight. Would recommend this bike rack to everyone with a heavier bike. Threaded hitch pin sleeve will not allow a locking hitch pin to go thru would be the only drawback I see...
Bought this bike rack for a hunting e bike and it works awesome. The ramp makes it easy to use and walk right up. It holds the bike securely and the threaded bolt holds the hitch snug so there is no wobble like other bike racks.
Very easy set up, ramp works great. Much lighter than my other rack
For the money, I really like this rack. It’s strong and sturdy and holds the bikes securely. The rack handle makes it easy to fold it up when not carrying bikes. And loading and unloading the bikes is easy. So what’s the problem? Because it’s a heavy bike carrier, most people will fold it up rather than remove the carrier when not in use. And as you may see from the picture, the carrier tends to obscure the license plate (and the car break light) when folded up.
Sorry about the messy garage. 😀
I purchased the two place E-bike Rack with the Ramp. Assembly was fairly simple but the instructions were only mildly helpful. I'm glad I didn't allow the negative reviews to influence my purchasing decision because I didn't experience any of the issues in those reviews. All. the bolt holes lined up, the straps worked perfectly, and II have no concerns with my bike falling off when properly fastened to a properly assembled rack. I would buy this rack again.
-Clear instructions
-Pretty easy assembly
-Very secure - first use today!
-We have 2 82# e-bikes and there
aren’t many racks that can
handle that. This rack handled
the weight with no issues and
was far less than anything
comparable.
Works well to haul my bikes on the back of the camper
For the price it is solid and lightweight, and attaches to hitch easily and seems sturdy. The bike loaded onto rack effortlessly and once strapped in it felt very secured. The only thing I’m not a fan of is having to use a ratchet to secure the rack to the hitch.
