ebike ramp

[jjeffrey45]

Ii have a Thule hitch rack and it's a beast to load my ebike, fat tire onto.  I'm looking for a ramp to help load my bike.
Any suggestions?

Maybe a folding aluminum motorcycle ramp? A picture of your set-up might help with a solution. I also dread lifting my ebike as well.

If your Thule hitch-mounted rack is a platform type (like the Hollywood Rack sold by Rad)_, where the wheels sit in a tray rather than having the bike hang by the frame, try this trick:  position the bike at a slight angle to the rack and so that the front wheel is a little past the tray for the front wheel.  Then hold down the brake for the rear wheel while pulling up and back on the handlebars.  Then set the front wheel if the front wheel tray.   Finally, lift the back end of the bike (only half the weight to lift now) and set the rear wheel in the rear tray.  Easier to do than to describe!

I think Thule sells a add-on ramp for some of their racks. Youtube has a couple DIY ramps made from PVC and aluminum.

I found the above ramp was too short/steep for getting my City 5 Plus into the back of my Subaru Forester. I am now using a longer, folding aluminum ramp. It is a little tricky, as it doesn't have edge guards.
