Yakima OnRamp LX Review

When you consider the number of e-bikes that come with fenders you would think that most hitch racks would have a foolproof way to accommodate an e-bike with fenders that won’t damage the fenders. Alas, such carriers are few.

We’ve been fans of the Yakima OnRamp since its release, but it had one notable flaw: The OnRamp is limited to e-bikes weighing 60 lbs. or less, which leaves out the majority of e-bikes at the value end of the market. There’s a new option, though; Yakima has introduced the OnRamp LX. There’s a lot to it that we liked.

Rad Power Bikes Introduces The RadKick

The sleek-looking RadKick is the newest urban-centric e-bike from Rad Power Bikes that aims to be both light on your arms and light on your wallet. Its clean step-thru frame and starting price of $1,199 are reminiscent of this year’s Lectric XPress commuter; the RadKick also matches many of its competitor’s specs while offering a few tradeoffs for others.

There are two versions of the RadKick: an entry-level model with a 7-speed chain drive and a higher-end version sporting a single-speed belt drive, a torque sensor, and an elevated price of $1,399. Regardless of drivetrain choice, the bike is advertised to weigh under 55 lbs, making it manageable for carrying up stairs or loading onto a bike rack.
