Yakima SpareTime

Discount Ramps is proud to offer the 8002598 Yakima SpareTime! The SpareTime features a two-bicycle capacity and works with most lug patters as an anti-sway cradle that keeps the bikes stable; the fold down arms, with integrated bottle openers, stow out of the way when not in use. Built specifically for use with vehicles that have spare tire mounts on the rear of the vehicle, the SpareTime from Yakima incorporates the mounting bolts that already are on your vehicle for a secure, snug fit. A SwitchBlade anti-sway cradle ensures proper stability and prevents bike to bike contract, protecting all of the bikes painted surfaces. Dual arms are used on the Yakima SpareTime tire carrier which work well with bikes that have larger or smaller than normal frames. The Yakima SpareTime folds down when its not in use, and all you have to do is remove it with the turn of a knob to stow it away. This durable bike rack features a powder coated steel construction making the SpareTime a safe and easy way to transport two bikes.

The Yakima SpareTime fits most lug nut patterns and can even work with tires that are off center. This premium two bike carrier uses a universal mounting plate that will not fit a spare mount with an 8-hole bolt pattern or hole-pattern greater than 5.5 inches. The SpareTime has dimensions of 3.75 inches in length, by 5 inches in width, and 6.75 inches in height. The adapter plate goes behind your spare tire to keep it safely in place and secured. This kit comes with two extensions for mounting the bike carrier on vehicles with large spares. The mounting knob is SKS (single key system) lockable hub for maximum security. The SpareTime is an inexpensive and effective way to carry your bicycles on long road trips.

If these products from Yakima do not fit your needs Discount Ramps offers a wide variety of spare tire racks for bicycles. With many styles of bicycle racks and carriers to choose from, loading up your bikes on your next trip will be a lot easier and worry free.

 Bicycle Car Rack

 

We at Discount Ramps know that people love to take their bicycles with them, so we are proud to supply the BC-9524-2TP Buzz Rack Skipper by Rage Powersports. It’s an easy-to-use bicycle rack that transports one or two bikes on the trunk of your vehicle.  The cushioned foam bumpers on the bottom help to protect the vehicle, and the six point tie-down strap system ensures the bike rack stays where it’s supposed while on the go.

The discount bicycle car rack is 39 inches tall standing up and is 44 inches wide. The center part is 15 inches wide and is 30 inches from trunk to the last bike support bar. This 25 pound bike rack has three adjustments on the mid bar to give you plenty of clearance and keep your plate and taillights visible, while the four, 180 degree adjustment points keep the rack form fitted to your car, truck, or SUV. The rack’s single bike set up center support bar gives you more stability by folding down toward the front tire. When you’re bringing two bikes along the center stability bar provides you a center point and extra tie down area for both of your bikes. Along with this bicycle rack, you get four adjustable wheel mounts, a red safety strap, and a black tie down strap. Both are 6.5 feet long and work well with the center support bar. The straps are used with the six point tie down strap system that is designed to safely fit most SUVs, cars, and trucks. To finish off the system, Rage Powersports has these car racks powder-coated black to give you a nice, clean, long lasting finish.

As with everything, Discount Ramps offers you a one year manufacture warranty.

Pop-Up Camper Bike RackDiscount Ramps is now offering a new bike rack system that is designed to be mounted to almost any pop up camper frame. This new pop-up camper bike rack is a one of a kind bike rack system that allows you to haul 2, 4, or even 6 bikes at a time depending on which rack model you choose to purchase. Note that to haul 6 bikes you will need to get the 4 bike model and purchase two additional front fork or tire mounts to be attached to the rack. The models that we are now offering as kits are listed below.

Two Bike Rack Systems

RVPB020-1: This is our basic two bike rack system that can securely hold and transport up to two bicycles at once. (This kit does not come equipped with the recommended tire pads.)

RVPB020-1TP: This is the same two bike camper rack as listed above, however, this rack comes with two of the recommended bike tire pads which will distribute the weight of the bikes more evenly across the camper roof and prevent the camper from getting tire scuff marks or rubbed abrasions.

Four Bike Rack Systems

RVPB040-1: This is our four bike pop-up camper bike rack that comes without any of the bicycle tire pads.

RVPB040-1TP: This bike rack kit comes with the four bike system as listed above but also includes four bike tire pads to protect your camper roof.

Bike Tire Pads

Our new pop up camper bike rack is one of the only pop-up camper racks that allows one to haul their bikes on the front of their camper without having to make modifications or drill holes into their camper which would eventually lead to leaks along with voided warranties on new camper systems. A few features that we have built in to this camper bike carrier include things like the ability to telescope the upright support beams/bars which allows the rack to fit and accommodate many different roof heights that are unique to each pop up camper. Another great feature that is built in to this bike rack is that it can be easily turned into a 2, 4, or 6 bike rack system by simply purchasing the appropriate kit. For instance if you have the 2 bike model you can purchase additional wheel holders or skewer kits to add the capacity to carry all the way up to 6 bikes total!

As you can see many of these products require hitches in order to utilize them, and we have been selling a ton of hitches to help customers accommodate the wide variety of different cargo and bike carriers. It is advised to take a good look at the rear of your vehicle before ordering any of the hitch mounted products to verify what type of hitch you currently have on your vehicle which will make sure that you order the correct carrier, rack, or adapter. If you find that your vehicle does not currently have a hitch installed we recommend using our handy hitch selector system that will require that you enter a few details about your vehicle and then it will tell you the hitches that are available to fit your car or truck.
