I just saw Hollywood is coming out with a bike rack with a ramp. It is pricey but I think it is sure worth the cost.   This sure would make it easier on our backs.   Does anyone know of any other manufacturers that have bike racks with ramps.  TIA

For carrying one bike, this solution works very well for me, includes a ramp and cost about $130 delivered (hunt around for discount coupons, they offer them regularly):  https://www.harborfreight.com/400-lb-receiver-mount-aluminum-motorcycle-carrier-62837.html

Here's a forum post I made about it, with some photos of my MiniST2 loaded up:  https://www.radowners.com/index.php?topic=1079.msg7366#msg7366

It's designed for dirt motorcycles, so handling the weight of an e-bike is no sweat.  Requires a 2" hitch receiver; with the anti-sway bolts locked down tight, it's very rigid.

I added the reflective tape for safety and the trailer-lights.
Shucks Ma'am, I'm no "Hero Member", I just like to wear this cape.

I have the Thule Easy Fold--2 bike rack. It's built for heavier bikes and has a ramp. Easy to put on the car hitch and surprisingly light weight. The rack is a smart design in many ways. The one ouch--pricey. $900.00. But it's the best rack I've ever owned including the previous Kuat for our e-bikes.
