Young Electric E-Bike Rack with Ramp, 200 lb review

A two-bike e-bike hitch rack with a loading ramp, rated 200 lb, with a V-groove ramp, three-point ratchet straps and room for 5 inch fat tires.

Our conclusion The right rack if lifting is the problem and your vehicle can carry the weight.

The price here pays for one thing: you can roll a heavy e-bike up instead of lifting it. For many e-bike owners that decides the purchase.

What the listing publishes

Two bikes, 200 lb total, built from steel and aluminum. A V-groove ramp, a patented V-shape cradle and bolt system against wobble, ratchet straps at three points per bike, tires up to 5 inches wide, a folding frame, and a coating with a stated 1,000-hour salt spray resistance. The rack weighs 66 lb and carries a 1-year warranty.

The number that decides

Rack plus full load is about 266 lb on the hitch. That is more than most crossovers and many mid-size SUVs allow. Trucks and full-size SUVs with a heavier receiver are the natural fit. Read your tongue weight rating before anything else.

What to check before you buy

Measure the folded rack against your garage shelf. At 69.1 × 40.3 × 41.5 in and 66.1 lb, it is not a rack you move around casually. If you will take it on and off often, plan for two people.

The questions riders ask

Why does the rack weight matter so much?

It counts toward tongue weight. With 200 lb of bikes, the hitch carries about 266 lb, more than many SUVs allow.

Do straps touch the frame?

Young Electric uses ratchet straps at three points per bike instead of a metal hook. The straps hold the bike rather than a clamp on the top tube.
