Ramp or Trough for loading Lectric XP Step-Thru 3.0 into pickup truck bed

[LennyK]

I Bought The Harbor Freight Folding Ramp First - It Was Made Of Steel And Is HEAVY - Returned It For A Refund -
Luminum Is Light !!!

I've been loading motorcycles onto my pick up for over two decades with the same aluminum ramp.
I mostly used the engine power to get the moto up the ramp and into the bed of my pickup, just walk along the moto with another ramp or just a milk crate to step up.
Having a hill (even a very slight hill) would help greatly with the loading up the ramp.

If you're not folding it, just loading into a pickup, I find an easy way is to position the bike aligned parallel with the tailgate and the rear wheel about middle of the tailgate. Hold the rear brake handle, pull up on the handle bar, then swivel the front wheel onto the tailgate/truck body/minivan floor. Front wheel is in, lift back wheel in and you're done (a second person would help too). If you're loading in a minivan you will have to fold the handle bar before moving bike totally into the minivan.

I want to carry my eBike in the bed of my pickup but I can't lift it that high. My bike has fat tires and weights 70 pounds. What ideas do you have or know of that will help me?

Thanks,

Have a look at this as an alternative.
Lift Caddy is an electric elevator for Your bike rack.

Lift Caddy:

• eliminates the strain of loading heavy bikes onto your vehicle rack. “No more lifting Heavy e-bikes”
• Lowers your rack to the ground for easy loading, Bikes Roll on…. Roll off, let your Caddy do the Lifting.
• Accepts any 2” bike rack.

Next time your in that starting position try holding the back brake lever and just kind of pop a wheelie by pulling against that locked up back wheel. It's easier than that lift you did I think. It's how I put our heavy Electric XPremiums into the rack. Give it a try!
